DESTINI Takeoff Version 1.9.6 Release Notes

DESTINI Takeoff 1.9.6 introduces a floating scale indicator with automated detection alerts, transparent backout previews on the canvas, and automated property panel opening for takeoff zones. This release also resolves Count dimension resets and Split Review typing validation, enhances sheet lock concurrency feedback, and delivers major performance and stability improvements across rapid takeoff saving, Takeoff-to-Estimate sync, and Cosmos zone storage.

Enhancements & Canvas Workflow

  • Floating Scale Indicator: Added a floating scale badge in the bottom-right corner of the sheet viewer displaying the scale of the active takeoff zone (or "Multiple Scales" when applicable), complete with a settings gear icon that opens zone properties focused directly on the scale field (DC-8062).
  • Undetected Scale Alerts & Guidance: When the scale of a takeoff zone cannot be detected automatically, the floating scale badge highlights in red with a warning prompt ("Failed to detect scale. Default scale is set") and automatically directs focus to the scale input field (DC-8916).
  • Transparent Backout Previews: Drawing backouts now renders as a fully transparent cutout of the underlying sheet rather than a darker shaded tint of the condition color, providing a true visual preview of the subtracted area (DC-8132).
  • Automatic Zone Properties Display: Manually drawing a takeoff zone now automatically opens the summary properties panel in the Conditions tab, allowing users to configure zone details immediately without extra clicks (DC-7171).

Bug Fixes

  • Count Condition Dimension Retention: Changing the shape of a Count condition in the Add/Edit Condition modal no longer resets or overwrites previously entered dimension values back to defaults (DC-8776).
  • Split Review Input Validation: Users can now type complete words and terms in Split Review fields without premature, character-by-character error evaluation interrupting text input (DC-9079).
  • Condition Slope Display: Fixed an issue where edits made to a condition's slope in the properties panel failed to display immediately after saving (DC-9189).
  • Symbol Auto-Detection Reliability: Resolved an issue that caused symbol auto-detection to fail during takeoff processing (DC-9364).

Multi-User Collaboration & Concurrency

  • Sheet Lock Multi-User Feedback: When another collaborator acquires the active sheet lock, the second user's draw mode now ends cleanly with an explicit lock status notification rather than leaving the cursor in an unresponsive state (DC-9387).
  • Takeoff-to-Estimate Synchronization Ordering: Resolved race conditions and missing SignalR callbacks where rapid takeoff additions, backouts, WBS updates, and sheet revisions could cause open estimates to miss updates or display out-of-order quantities (DC-9207).
  • Shared Condition Estimate Reload Throttling: Fixed an issue where editing a shared condition caused open estimates to trigger a slow, full grid reload on every subsequent change (DC-9295).
