### Improvements

#### Measurement keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts have been enabled to allow quick addition of basic measurements without using the on-screen interface:

- Pins (P)
- Distances (L)
- Areas (A)
- Volumes (V)

#### **Automations forms optimization**

The interval unit for automatic cross-sections and volumes has been changed from kilometers \[km\] to meters \[m\]. The readability of surface selection lists has been improved by grouping them according to the upload level and date. Shared layers are highlighted at the top of the list. The date of the layer group for the currently displayed project is highlighted in blue.

#### Knowledge base access

Direct access to the SkySnap knowledge base has been provided from the dropdown menu under the user avatar.

#### Optimization of photo loading and annotation retrieval in Split View (Photo Split View)

This optimization results in faster photo loading and smoother carousel performance in 3D view when working with large mesh datasets.

#### **Disabling IFC element selection during active measurement**

The ability to select IFC elements while taking a measurement has been disabled, preventing unintended interactions.

#### **Expanded success messages for completed automations**

Automation success messages now indicate the destination of the results, improving workflow efficiency — users immediately know where to find newly generated measurements.

 

### Changes

#### New home page appearance

The home view has been refreshed to make navigation easier for new portal users. The investment panel has been widened and given a clear title, while view settings have been gathered in one place. A clearer project hierarchy has also been introduced through the use of guiding lines and calendar icons that align with the project view.

![list\_of\_sites\_panel](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/list_of_sites_panel.png?width=670&height=322&name=list_of_sites_panel.png)

#### New login screen appearance

A hint about the required login format has been added to the “Login” field. It is now also possible to preview the entered password. In addition, login error messages have been refined to improve clarity.

![login\_page](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/login_page.png?width=670&height=323&name=login_page.png)

#### **Correct handling of volume colors in reports**

An issue where assigned measurement colors were not carried over into volume reports has been fixed. Colors set in the 3D view are now correctly reflected in generated reports.
