  1. 🏗️ BIM Models For Everyone

    New Feature

    We’re not just adding support for IFC files - we’re making BIM truly usable for the whole team.

    With Vismo, you can now upload, view, and interact with BIM models in the open IFC format - no specialist software required. That means less friction and more visibility, from design through to handover.

    🛠️ What you can do in Vismo:

    • Inspect IFC models in-browser
    • Comment, mention, and collaborate in context
    • Keep your project data in one accessible platform, without losing the structure and detail that make BIM so powerful

    💡 Why this matters:

    • Designers and consultants can share rich, structured models easily
    • Contractors and subcontractors access the data they need, on-site
    • Asset owners and facilities teams retain valuable info for the long term

    IFC support in Vismo means better decisions, faster feedback, and collaboration without compromise. This is BIM - simplified. 🎉

  2. 🌀 Scale, Rotate, Transform – Any Model

    New Feature

    One of Vismo’s missions is to make complex spatial data accessible to everyone - whether it's 2D plans, 3D models, BIM, or laser scans.

    We want decision-makers to have the insights they need, and for anyone involved in a project to collaborate in context, without needing specialist software.

    With just a couple of clicks, you can now rotate, scale, and transform any model in Vismo.

    It’s an update that makes a big difference giving you full control to position models where and how you need them. 🏢

  3. Point Cloud Support is Here ☁️

    New Feature

    View point clouds in the browser... yeah right.

    Actually, yes – right. You can now view LAS/LAZ point cloud files directly in Vismo. 🎉

    We know this kind of data can be tricky to access, let alone collaborate on. But making complex AEC data accessible to all is something we care deeply about.

    This is just the beginning – we’ve got big plans in this space.

  4. Copy or Move Files 📂

    Improvement

    It might sound like a small thing, but it’s a big time-saver. You can now copy or move files between projects or within the same project! 📂

    Whether you're dealing with massive models or just juggling lots of files, this update makes it much easier to keep things organised without re-uploading.

    Less clicking, more doing. We like that. 💪

    More quality-of-life improvements coming soon!

  5. DXF Model Support is Live 🙌

    New Feature

    While DWG is still often considered the industry standard for technical drawings (and yes, we support those too), DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) has a few tricks up its sleeve that make it a go-to for many in the industry:

    • 📤 Open & Interoperability: DXF files are designed to be open and widely compatible – perfect for sharing drawings across different software and platforms.
    • 📐 Precision: DXF maintains detailed vector data, perfect for use cases like manufacturing and laser cutting.

    So whether your project team prefers DWG, DXF, or a mix of bothVismo's got your back.

  6. 📦 Project Archive

    New Feature

    You can archive projects with a flick of a switch - locking everything in place and giving you peace of mind.

    🛠️ What does Project Archive do?

    • Locks your project so nothing can be edited
    • Keeps all your data safely stored
    • ⁠Archived projects are automatically hidden from your front screen
    • Need a copy? You can take it out of the archive anytime

    We know you often need to keep data for 12+ years - now you can do it without the stress. Everything stays safe, intact and easily accessible whenever you need it. 🔐

  9. 🔒 Advanced Folder & File-Level Permissions!

    New Feature

    You now have more control over who can access what in Vismo with folder and file-level permissions.

    Whether you're managing sensitive plans, site photos, or important models, you can now set specific access rights for different users - ensuring the right people have the right level of access.

    🔍 What’s New?

    • Granular Control – Manage permissions at the folder level as Read-Write or Read-Only.
    • Simplicity – Permissions shouldn't be complicated. We've kept overall project roles intact, and now you can easily set a user as "Limited" to control exactly what they can access.

    New Feature

    Big news! You can now add comments directly to your files in Vismo - whether it’s a plan, drawing, site photo, or model. Need to flag something for a teammate? Just drop a comment and @mention them to loop them in.

    This makes collaborating on AEC and asset owner data even easier, keeping conversations right where they matter - on the files themselves. No more endless email chains or lost notes. 📃
