This month’s update is all about sharper measurements, cleaner deliverables, and a smoother overall experience in Hammer Hub—plus an exciting preview of what’s coming next for capture workflows. Here’s what’s new in February 2026:


🖥️ Hammer Hub


📐 Improved AI Quantification & Measurements


Dashboard displaying 54 total observations with AI and human assessments. Includes measurements of area and perimeter.

We’ve expanded measurement outputs to better support quantity takeoffs. You can now export linear measurements (m/ft) and perimeter values alongside area measurements for all observations in your project—including doors, windows, and more.



🤖 Faster AI Quantification Workflow


We’ve streamlined the AI quant workflow in Hammer Hub so you can move from detection to reviewed outputs faster. Spend less time waiting and more time validating results, especially on larger projects.



🚦Colour-Coded Deficiencies


Close-up of a faded pink building exterior, cracked windows covered in blue tarp. Numbers 23 and 22 visible. Patches marked A1, A19, B4, B5, A46.

Deficiencies can now be visualised with clearer colour coding, making it easier to quickly identify, review, and communicate issue types and severity across your project.



📊 Improved Reporting


Reporting just got more complete and more consistent. We’ve improved the export of measurements from both 3D and 2D annotations, ensuring that the data captured in your project flows more reliably into your final report outputs.



✂️ Facade Clipping

Captured more than you need? You can now clean and clip your facade models directly in the latest version of Hammer Hub. This also works for clipping away any other unwanted parts of the 3D model—helping you produce cleaner, more focused deliverables.



📈 Improved Deliverables

Gain more control over how your projects are viewed via private links. You can now lock your model into a specific position and toggle Facade Mode and annotated images on or off—making it easier to shape the viewing experience for clients and collaborators.



💡 Gaussian Splatting (Coming Soon!)


"Side-by-side comparison of 3D visuals: Point Cloud vs. Gaussian Splatting. Both show a concrete block in a trench with wooden walls."

We’re excited to share that Gaussian Splatting is coming soon to Hammer Missions. This will support better capture and reconstruction of challenging assets such as glass buildings, transparent objects, and thin structures like wires, cables, and trusses.



🧑‍💻 New, Cleaner UI for a Better UX

Hammer Hub now features a refreshed, cleaner interface designed to improve usability and create a more streamlined experience across your workflows.



📱 Hammer App


🏢 Interior Capture Workflows (Coming Soon)


We’re working on something special for the capture of interior environments using LiDAR and 360 cameras. This is aimed at expanding what’s possible with Hammer Missions beyond exterior drone workflows.To learn more, contact us.
