Version 1.2.44

Version 1.2.44 (21 Aug 2026)

New Features

Residential building features

• Benefit from enhanced visualisation of parking layouts within podium structures, making it easier to assess and optimise parking efficiency during the early design stages.

• Accelerate your design process by filtering residential unit templates by size, helping you to find and apply the most suitable options for your project more quickly.

Structural features

• Gain greater control over your feasibility studies with a new master switch to toggle early-stage structural analysis in Site Space, allowing for faster iterations on architectural layouts.

Supplier features

• Suppliers can now specify regional availability for their products by adding supply regions to their profiles, providing designers with more accurate and relevant product information.

General Improvements

• To prevent accidental changes to completed work, an additional confirmation step has been added when locking or unlocking design scenarios.

• Streamline your BIM workflow with a new user interface within Podium for configuring how your design data is mapped for export to Revit.

• Track your project's lifecycle more effectively with the new ability to set and display a project's current status within the platform.

Bug Fixes

Residential building features

• Resolved an issue that prevented stacking of building blocks on top of an Advanced Generic Building, restoring full vertical design flexibility.

• Fixed a bug where a residential building would appear to float after the podium it was stacked on was deleted. The building now correctly repositions to the site level.

• An issue causing duplicate residential units to be created during the import process has been resolved.

• Area metrics for residential buildings now update correctly and automatically after a building is deleted from the project.

• Changes to a building's floor count are now immediately and accurately reflected in the Building View.

• Addressed an issue preventing parking calculations from working correctly for Residential Modular Buildings.

• Tower placement on top of a podium now updates automatically when the podium's floor-to-floor height is adjusted.

• Fixed an 'invalid massing' error that could occur when solving a generic building with a residential function and corridor.

• Area metrics for split floorplates now correctly display and categorise the different floorplate functions.

• The floorplate function is now correctly identified as 'mixed-use' at the building level when multiple functions have been assigned.

• Building design criteria are now retained after a building's footprint is resized, preventing loss of work.

Industrial building features

• Ensured that the plant section is correctly retained when cloning a Modular Low Density Data Centre project.

• The selection bounding box for multi-storey warehouses now renders correctly after being placed and solved in Site Space, improving interaction and visibility.

• Fixed a visualisation bug where empty parking spaces were shown incorrectly when a generic building's function was set to 'Parking' in an industrial project.

• Corrected a discrepancy between the heavy vehicle parking count displayed in the metrics panel and the number visualised in the 3D model for single-tenant warehouses.

Structural features

• Corrected basement metrics to include the building height value and apply correct comma formatting for improved readability.

• Enhanced the parking generation logic to ensure all available space is utilised, preventing gaps where central parking spaces were previously not being created.

• Resolved a solver issue related to travel distance calculations between different core types, allowing complex floorplates to be generated successfully.

• Informational messages within the parking configuration panel now clear correctly after values have been auto-filled.

Supplier features

• Addressed an issue where product variant data was not displaying for some items in the supplier portal, ensuring all product information is visible.

Site features

• Site Division height now correctly displays in the chosen project units (Imperial or Metric), ensuring consistency across the platform.

• Fixed an intermittent graphical issue where pink lines could appear on the terrain when topography was enabled.

• Improved the parking algorithm to successfully generate layouts for smaller surface parking areas.

• Corrected a misalignment between the virtual cursor and an object's position when working in a 3D view with topography enabled, ensuring precise placement.

• Improved performance when zooming in on a site with topography and building pads enabled, preventing the model from becoming unresponsive.

• Site divisions from a previous location are now correctly cleared when a new site location is selected for the project.

General Fixes

• Improved the performance and reliability of the Revit export process, ensuring timely results are achieved.

• Optimised data handling to prevent the user interface from becoming unresponsive when dealing with very large query results.

• Resolved an issue where published Excel templates were not visible to collaborators without a Podium account, improving data sharing.

• Fixed a compatibility issue with the Excel Plugin when used with the Microsoft Edge browser, ensuring a smooth experience for all users.

• The workspace now correctly loads in the user's pre-configured unit preference (Imperial or Metric) from the very first view.

• Fixed an issue where certain measurement fields would not switch from Metric to Imperial units along with the rest of the project.

• Ensured that all metrics and currency values dynamically update to reflect the selected unit system throughout the platform.

• Resolved an issue that prevented the successful import of OBJ files, restoring functionality for bringing in custom 3D models.

• Units displayed in the scenario generation criteria now correctly update to reflect the project's unit settings.

• Project thumbnails can now be updated successfully on projects that have been copied between tenancies.
