New MAGIC design mode
We're excited to be releasing a beta version of our new Magic design mode. Using 3D data and high resolution imagery, we we automatically work out the form of buildings create 3D models for you, as well as identifying obstructions.
Magic mode is an experimental feature, and we won’t detect every building shape perfectly. Please expect to have to do some tweaking of roof shapes or obstructions on more complex roofs. It works better in urban areas where more detailed aerial imagery is available.
We’re working hard on magic mode, and we expect to regularly release improvements over the coming months. While this service is in the beta phase we are offering access for free to both free and pro users. Free users are restricted to three designs per day. We reserve the right to start charging for the service in future.
