January 14, 2026 📐 New Elevation View Note Placement Method

Higharc Release Notes

✏️ For Design & Drafting

New Elevation View Note Placement Style - Bounding Box

  • To increase the clarity of automatic elevation notes, we’ve introduced a new Auto Note Placement style, “Bounding Box”

  • The Bounding Box style will expose additional controls for every Elevation Viewport, under Effects in the Inspector, making it easier to adjust View Note label and leader positions

    • Elbow Offset - Adjusts the left/right position of the leader elbow

    • Label Offset - Adjusts the left/right position of View Note label

    • Label Width - Adjusts the maximum label width. This feature will wrap text to the next line if a label is larger than the maximum width.

Other Updates

  • The plan selector now tells you what type of plan you are currently on (ie if we are looking at a master plan vs location plan vs home plan).

  • The plan selector now also includes the ability to navigate to another masterplan.


🧑‍💻 For API Users

BuilderID is now easier to retrieve in the API documentation page and pre-populated in parameters.

Other Updates

  • Webhooks now indicate whether they were fired automatically (e.g. via home plan status change) or manually (via clicking the export button on the home plan page).

  • Improved performance for files with several thousands of rows, which should result in fewer failures and timeouts during import.
