Shareable Links, Angles, New Annotations, Hatch Patterns, and a Smarter Sidebar

Shareable Project Links

You can now share your takeoffs with anyone. Open the share modal, toggle sharing on, and copy the link. Anyone with the link can view the full project (PDF, measurements, group totals) without needing an account. Good for sending takeoffs to clients, suppliers, or your team in the field.

You control access. Disable the link anytime and it stops working immediately. View counts are tracked so you know when someone has looked at it. Viewers can now click on measurements and annotations to select them and see details, but cannot edit or delete anything.

Angle Measurement Tool

Three clicks to measure an angle: place the vertex, then the two legs. Live preview shows the angle as you move. Shift-snap locks to 15 degree increments for quick 45 and 90 degree checks.

Built for checking roof pitch from elevation drawings, verifying miter angles before cutting, and confirming wall angles on irregular floor plans. Shortcut is G. Shows up in the sidebar, exports to PDF and CSV like everything else.

Measurement Properties

Area measurements now support depth to calculate volume. Set the depth on a slab measurement and get cubic yards instantly instead of pulling out a calculator. Same idea for linear measurements: set a wall height and get wall area for drywall, painting, or siding estimates.

Circle measurements now show diameter, radius, and circumference alongside the area.

Pitch multipliers moved into the properties panel too, so everything about a measurement lives in one place. On desktop, a floating panel appears in the bottom-right corner when you select a measurement. On phone, it stays inline in the sidebar.

New Annotation Tools

Four new annotation types join text, arrow, rectangle, and ellipse:

Cloud callout. Click and drag to draw a cloud shape. The classic RFI and revision callout that every plan reviewer recognizes.

Freehand drawing. Press and drag to sketch directly on the plan. Mark up areas, circle problems, draw attention to details.

Highlighter. Semi-transparent freehand strokes. Highlight a section of the plan without covering it up.

Stamp. One-click placement of preset labels: Approved, Rejected, Revised, For Review, and more. Drop them anywhere on the plan.

All four are in the new Markup dropdown in the toolbar alongside the existing shape tools. Each annotation remembers your last color and size choice. The highlighter now shows a circle cursor preview at your brush size so you can see exactly what you are about to highlight before you start drawing.

Hatch Patterns

Area measurements can now display a fill pattern for visual differentiation when you have overlapping groups on the same page. Right-click a group and pick from five patterns: diagonal, crosshatch, horizontal, vertical, or dots.

Patterns inherit to sub-groups, render on the canvas, and export correctly to PDF. Useful when you have flooring, tile, and carpet all overlapping on the same floor plan and color alone is not enough to tell them apart.

Sidebar Improvements

Page context bar. A new bar between the tab row and the measurement list shows which page you are viewing ("Page 3 of 12") with a toggle to show measurements from all pages or just the current one. The tab badge counts update to match. The Notes tab now filters by page too, so you only see annotations relevant to the page you are working on.

Wider sidebar. Bumped from 280px to 320px so group names and measurement labels have room to breathe instead of getting cut off.

Group totals. Groups now show all measurement types in their subtitle (area + linear + count) instead of only showing one. Two-line layout gives group names the full width.

Rename icons. Explicit pencil icons on measurements and pages replace the old double-click and click-to-rename patterns. Clearer and harder to trigger by accident.

Sub-group shading. Sub-groups now display as lighter shades of the parent color instead of the exact same color. Much easier to tell parent from child at a glance.

Tighter rows. Measurement rows use less vertical padding so you can see more items without scrolling.

Snap Distance Options

The old snap sensitivity slider is gone. In its place: three clear options (Tight, Normal, Generous) in both the tool settings modal and the settings page. Pick the one that matches your plan density. Dense residential plans with lots of walls close together work better on Tight. Simple site plans work fine on Generous.

Under the Hood

• Auto-save payload hardened against silent field omission
• Multiline text annotation click targets fixed (were oversized on multi-line text)
• Annotation dash patterns now scale proportionally with stroke width
• Text tool auto-grows width to prevent clipping on long labels
• Text annotations center vertically on click point
• Annotation PDF export overhauled: all annotation types now export exactly as they appear on screen, including rotated pages
• Rectangle area measurements no longer show redundant width/height labels on the edges
• Shared link viewers can now select measurements on the canvas (view only)
• Security hardening across all API routes (stricter validation, rate limiting)
• Code quality audit: fixed silent failures, added safety limits, standardized error handling
