Parts and Labour have had a facelift!
Our Parts and Labour window now opens and can stay open while you work on Groundplan. Adjust the size using the slider to see live changes as you populate the Plan. We think it's great — what do you think?
More Plan navigation
Along with our navigation buttons at the bottom of your editing screen, there is now the option to:
- View all Plans in the Project including hiding Plan Groups
- Search by name or number and also scroll through your search results
- Filter by completed / incomplete or by Stages
Resize all Symbols on the Plan at once
Have you ever applied a Take-off Template and all the symbols are either too small or too big? Click Settings and check out our new Plan Symbol Scale slider.

Erase in Freeform and choose a colour
We are super excited about this Eraser Tool update!
The Eraser now has the same functionality as other tools with its new Freeform, Square, and Pen Modes. In Freeform and Square Modes, simply click, hold, and drag to pan like other tools. When using the Pen, hold the SPACEBAR to move around the plan. Use our colour eyedropper to match colours easily and add opacity to colours. This means you can selectively grey out specific areas of the plan with ease!
New User access rights have arrived
We have introduced four new Roles for our Users.
It is strongly recommended to establish separate User logins for each individual accessing your Account. This enables restrictions on specific actions and access, enhancing Account security. For instance, only Users in Roles such as Owner, Admin and Billing can access Billing, Increase or Decrease Licences adding additional charges or Cancel the Subscription.
Find out more about each Role here.
You can add those for New Users:
