“Site accuracy is foundational. By letting users draw their own boundaries, we’re removing a major blocker for global projects and making AI-driven analysis far more dependable.”

– Azhar Poonawala, Sr. Product Analyst

What’s New

While importing your site in regions outside the USA and Canada, you can now draw a site boundary directly in the Topography modal. This ensures site analysis, AI Stack outputs, FAR calculations, and diagrams all use the correct boundary from the start.

‍

How It Works

• When you open the Topography modal, you can:
  • Select a property parcel (US & Canada), or
  • Draw a site polygon on the map (ideal for projects outside the US & Canada).
• While drawing the site:
  • Click to place vertices.
  • Finish by pressing Enter, double-clicking, or closing the loop.
  • Pan and zoom freely as you draw.
• After creating a site, you can:
  • Edit the boundary by moving vertices.
  • Delete and redraw if needed.
  • See the automatically calculated site area (combined if multiple sites are selected).

How This Fits into Your Workflow

AI Stack

• You must define a site (select or draw) before importing topography.
• The drawn boundary is used for datum setup, FAR, setbacks, site analysis, and auto-diagrams, making AI outputs more reliable in regions without parcel data.

Blank Canvas

• Drawing a site is optional.
• You can still import topography alone, or draw the site first and bring topo in afterward.

Other Improvements

• Neighborhood buildings no longer show split lines.
• Map search now includes landmarks and points of interest (POIs).

This update makes Snaptrude far more usable globally, giving you full control over site boundaries before importing topography.
