OpenSpace, a global leader in 360° reality capture and AI-powered analytics for the construction industry, has announced new capabilities designed to accelerate large-scale projects and efficiently manage extended teams. As project complexity increases, so does the number of sites, floors, users, and issues. To address these challenges, OpenSpace introduces: 

• Quick Access to Overhead Captures: Overhead images, whether from ceilings or other high locations, are easily accessible on sheets and on the OpenSpace mini-map. 
• Seamless Multi-Floor Captures: For multi-floor captures, a new “Next sheet” button prompts the transfer of captures to OpenSpace while moving between floors during capture walks. 
• Flexible 360° Capture Management: In addition to the OpenSpace app, users can now upload files directly from a camera or SD card reader to the web. OpenSpace admins also have the capability to delete captures through the admin console.
• Enhanced User Management Controls: OpenSpace has streamlined user management with single sign-on (SSO) and construction management platform integrations. Admins can now bulk delete users, simplifying user management. Procore users benefit from direct import of their Procore users and sheets into OpenSpace projects.
• Improved Field Coordination with Field Notes Zones and Field Notes Explorer: Zones allow notes to be categorized by project areas, such as rooms and sectors, or by project phases. Field Notes are automatically tagged with their respective Zones and displayed on corresponding sheets for easy filtering and progress monitoring. Site and org admins can create, edit, copy, and delete Zones via the “Zones” tab in project settings. Field Notes Explorer enhances issue management with features like bulk status adjustments, task assignments, and report generation.
• Field Notes Integrations with Procore, ACC, and Revizto: Following the Field Notes integration with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) customers can now create RFIs and Issues in Autodesk Build in one click, streamlining issue management. With OpenSpace BIM+, users can create Revizto Issues from Field Notes, incorporating data such as 360 images to quickly assess on-site situations.
• Multi-Integration Flexibility: OpenSpace projects now support simultaneous syncing with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), BIM 360, PlanGrid, and Revizto. For example, users can import sheets and users from Procore, export Field Notes to BIM 360 and ACC, import multiple models from ACC, and export Field Notes as Issues to Revizto, all while utilizing Procore for sheet and user imports.
• OpenSpace Usage API for Data Insights: Leverage the OpenSpace Usage API to pull capture data into business intelligence tools like PowerBI, enabling quick tracking of usage, coverage gap identification, and trend analysis.

“Scale and reliability have become top product priorities as the number of OpenSpace users has grown to exceed 250,000 and the space our customers are capturing has accelerated to 37 billion square feet,” shared Neel Sheth, VP of Product at OpenSpace. “We have always strived to help our customers get work done quickly and easily in OpenSpace, and these latest features support that focus–particularly for our largest clients and those handling highly complex projects.” 

Some features are already available to existing OpenSpace customers, while others are in beta and will soon be released.  For details on currently available features, please consult the release notes section on the Support site or contact your OpenSpace representative.
