Many new requested features in Geometra

We’ve released a new Geometra update packed with great new features!

The Symbol Library has received a major upgrade with a wider selection of symbols – you’ll find them under the Image tool.
We’ve added several ready-made system icons, and you can now also upload your own custom symbols.

Other new features include cloud marking for areas and interval placement on lines, areas, and reductions.
You can also specify section heights on lines, which is especially useful when working with varying wall or window heights.

New Features

• Section Heights on Lines

Used when a wall has varying heights, for example around windows or doors.

• Interval Placement

You can now place points along lines, areas, reductions, and on individual lines within an area measurement. Perfect for those who measure and quantify, for example, fences, radiators, fixings, gutter brackets, or prefab walls.

To place intervals, use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Click (click on the section or area where you want to insert the intervals). Manual adjustment may be needed for the last point if the measurements don’t match the number of intervals.

• Perimeter

Draws an area, for example a concrete slab, and creates an outer surface where additional area can be added, including depth/height. Useful for outdoor applications.

The perimeter is calculated along the sides, which means there will be a small surplus at each corner. Works on area, reduction, and ellipse.

You can also use the perimeter to calculate an area inside an area, for example for suspended ceilings (inner perimeter).

• Symbol Library

There is now a larger selection of symbols available for the image tool. We’ve added ready-made system icons, but you can also upload your own. Common image formats such as png, jpg, and svg are supported. You can easily resize the symbols.

• Text Highlighting - New Tool!

A new highlighter tool allows you to describe or emphasize information directly on a measurement or in calculation rows. The highlights appear in the calculation tree.

• Predefined Objects on Areas, Lines, Circles, and Reductions

Set the dimensions, choose the tool, and click to place. See video.

• Lock Aspect Ratio for Area Measurements

You can now proportionally resize an area by dragging its corners.

• Responsive Login and Sign-up

Mobile-friendly login and registration.

• Automatic Template Naming

• Reset All Settings

• “Height” Renamed to “Height/Depth.”

• Slabs on Reductions

• Cloud Marking on Area (Standard)

Used to circle something that needs to be done.

• Row Search

You can now search within row contents (previously only by category).

• Height Field for Points

For example, to calculate in rows – height of trees or poles.

• Archiving of Estimates

Archive completed estimates.

• New JSON Export

A restructured export matching the folder structure you’ve built.

• JSON exports have been upgraded to include reduction tiles and perimeter values.
