Layers: getting the project data organized
The viewer's sidebar is now a proper layers panel. Reorder, group, and lock every dataset in a project, show several rasters at once, and manage your measurements as layers alongside the point cloud — a first step toward handling survey CAD.

A survey project is more than its point cloud. The orthophotos, the elevation models, and the survey CAD are all derived from that same capture, each describing the site in a different way. The viewer's sidebar is now a proper layers panel for managing them together.
Drag to reorder how overlapping rasters stack, group related datasets, toggle visibility or lock any layer. The arrangement saves with the project, so it looks the same when you reopen it or hand it to a client.
Two smaller changes came with this most recent update also: you can now visualize several rasters at once, an orthophoto draped over a DEM for instance, and the importer accepts a wider range of raster formats.
Vector measurements now sit in the layers panel too, alongside the point clouds and rasters. Between drawing them in the viewer and importing them as GeoJSON, that gives you basic CAD support for the project's vector geometry. Polylines, polygons, and points managed as proper layers, not just annotations bolted onto a viewer.
It's live for all users now, so open a project and give it a try. Want a look at it on your own data? Get in touch.
