Version 1.2.42
Version 1.2.42 (31 Jul 2026)
New Features
We're excited to announce a range of new features and enhancements designed to streamline your workflow, improve design flexibility, and provide deeper insights into your projects.
Site features
- Create more realistic and accurate site plans by seamlessly connecting road networks, even when they overlap.
- Enjoy greater control and flexibility when drawing site boundaries and layouts, with the new ability to reshape elements dynamically as you draw.
Industrial building features
- We have expanded the design capabilities for industrial buildings, including advanced generic buildings, providing a wider range of functions and sub-functions for more detailed and customised layouts.
Structural features
- Accelerate your structural design process by automatically generating a structural wireframe directly from your architectural massing model, providing an instant preliminary structure to build upon.
Portfolio and Project Management
- Gain better visibility across your portfolio with new organisation-level metrics. You can now track key data for both shared and private projects, with distinct views for administrators and individual users.
- Easily identify and manage your projects by selecting a custom thumbnail image from your gallery of saved snapshots.
General Platform Enhancements
- Collaborate more effectively with your team using our improved markup tools, offering a more intuitive and powerful way to comment and annotate designs.
- Experience faster design iterations. Our analysis engine is now more intelligent, only recalculating affected parts of your model when minor changes are made, significantly reducing processing times.
- Unleash your creativity with improved support for non-planar surfaces, allowing you to model more complex and ambitious architectural geometry.
- We have enhanced the placement and configuration of electrical clusters within Building Space for more detailed and accurate MEPF design.
- Focus on your 3D model without distractions. You can now easily hide the 2D context in the Building Layout Editor to get a clearer view of your design.
Bug Fixes
This release also includes several bug fixes and stability improvements to enhance your experience on the Podium platform.
Site features
- We have resolved an issue where certain land parcels could not be selected, ensuring all site elements are now fully interactive.
- Importing a new DXF site plan now correctly clears the previous site data, preventing visual overlaps and ensuring a clean workspace.
Residential building features
- An issue that caused rooms to lose their rectangular shape when being resized in the Unit Editor has been fixed.
- Resolved a problem where mirroring or swapping residential units could cause them to overlap incorrectly after a solve.
- Fixed a bug that prevented residential units from being moved after the central building core had been repositioned.
- An error that occurred when solving residential buildings with certain configurations has now been resolved.
Industrial building features
- Product schedules for industrial buildings will now correctly render and display all information.
- The bounding box for industrial buildings now generates correctly when placing or cloning a new building, ensuring accurate placement and interaction.
- Addressed a solver error that, for some industrial buildings, was preventing the model from rendering correctly.
- Changing the cooling system type in an industrial building will no longer cause the solve to fail.
- Resolved an issue where detaching rooftop equipment, such as cooling towers, would incorrectly move the entire building.
Engineering and Analysis
- Engineering configurations are now reliably saved and applied across scenarios, preventing settings from reverting to default during a solve.
General Platform Fixes
- The right-click context menu for scenarios now appears correctly every time.
