What's New in Hammer Missions—January 2026 Product Update

We’ve been hard at work improving your 3D workflow, streamlining inspections, and preparing some exciting upcoming releases. Here’s what’s new (and what’s coming soon!) on the Hub:

1. ✂️ New: 3D Model Clipping

Our new 3D Model Clipping feature gives you full control over your models. You can now clip away unwanted sections, helping you clean up post-processed models with ease. This tool is also perfect for demolition planning—visualize exactly which areas will be removed first and present a clear demolition sequence to clients or internal teams.

Even better: share clipped versions directly with third parties and stakeholders for clearer communication and more effective collaboration.

2. 📌 Coming Soon: 3D Project Working State

Soon, you’ll be able to save the full state of your 3D project, including:

• Model position

• Facade mode

• Annotated images

Whether you’re mid-project or preparing a walkthrough for a colleague, you can resume work instantly or share a pre-configured view for seamless team collaboration.

3. 🤖 Improved AI Deficiency Detection

We’ve upgraded our AI deficiency detection workflow to be faster and smoother than ever. With fewer steps and a more intuitive flow, you can identify and manage deficiencies with minimal manual input.
