Release Notes - Q2 2026

New & Improved

WorksManager and WorksManager Pro include these new features and enhancements:

3D Viewer

Properties

  • Access Object Properties - Object properties can now be opened from the bottom floating toolbar. For details, see 3D Viewer

Project Data

  • New Project Data Pane - The pane has been updated with new sections and functions for models, designs, surveyed surfaces, point clouds, trajectories, orthoimages, and 3D map terrain.

  • Trajectory Support- Imported trajectories (including alignments) are now shown in the Project Data pane.

    For details, see Visualize and Explore your Project Data.

Layers

  • Layer Renaming - You are now prevented from renaming Layer 0 in the Layer Manager pane.

  • Layer Isolation - You can now isolate layers within your project. Additionally, you can switch between viewing All layers and Isolated layers.

  • Layer Deletion - You can now delete existing layers from a project when you edit a design.

    For details, see Show, Hide, and Filter Layers.

Data Packages

  • Data Package Pane Context Menu - Fit to View and Show Only context menu options have been added to the Data Package pane. Fit to view is particularly useful when design data is outside of the site boundary.

  • Design Data Text Support - Text embedded within designs is now viewable in the 3D Viewer. This text visualization is supported for VCL, SVL, DXF, and DWG files, which brings critical design and linework annotations into view, helping you better understand your design's specific details.

    For details, see Manage Design Data Packages.

  • Edit Surfaces - A new Surface Editor pane has been added, allowing you to:

    • See details like the number of points, lines and other objects that make up a surface, as well as the number of triangles and vertices in the surface.

    • Add and remove objects that comprise the surface.

    • Rename surfaces and change their colors.

    • Delete surfaces.

  • Editing Workflow - New Done and Publish buttons have been added for exiting the editing mode:

    • Done - Exits the edit mode; data changes are temporarily stored, but not sent to the field.

    • Publish Design - Creates a new version of the design and dispatches it to the field.

      For details, see Create and Edit Drafting Data.

Validation Issues

  • Design Validation (BETA) - You can now validate design VCL files directly within the 3D Viewer, under Data Packages, prior to dispatching them to Earthworks devices. This initial release introduces a targeted set of validation rules that mirror the edge-case checks performed natively by Earthworks upon file receipt. After validation, the issues are generated and displayed in the data panel. For each issue group, a clear explanation is offered, together with an actionable recommendation, and the layer names containing the reported objects. For details, see Validate Design Issues

Measurements

  • Measure angles - You can now make angle measurements in the 3D Viewer. These measurements are stored with your other measurements so your colleagues can reference them.

  • Volume graphics - When creating a volumetric measurement, you can now see the cut/fill heatmap. The color gradient is currently a fixed value.

  • Volume Legend - When you select a 3D volume, a color legend is now displayed showing what the heatmap colors represent.

  • Customize Area Measurement Styles - Modify the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), line weight and fill transparency for area measurements through the measurement style tab.

  • Generate Long Sections - You can now generate section views from a selected trajectory or alignment on the Measurements toolbar. Plotted long sections also include a 2D chart.

    For details, see Work with Trajectories and Alignments and Make and Save Measurements.

  • Toolbar Visibility - The visibility of the Measurements toolbar and the Drafting toolbar is now mutually exclusive, meaning only one will be shown at a time.

Drafting

  • Join line improvements -

    • You can now use the join operation to join two lines that are touching each other.

    • The line joining function has been improved to highlight what the newly proposed line would look like.

    • Lines are no longer being combined when you draw a line from one endpoint to another.

  • Shape Closure -

    • Join Start to End - You can now close a shape using the join operation to connect the start and end points.

    • 3D Polygon Drawing Close Button - When creating a polygon in the 3D Viewer, a Close button now appears once three or more points are placed. This allows you to complete the shape easily without needing to re-select the initial point.

    • Polygon Auto-Closure Mechanism - Placing an intermediate point in close proximity to the start vertex now triggers an automatic closure of the polygon, omitting any remaining points.

  • Remove objects - When you have one or more objects selected, you can now click the Delete icon on the floating toolbar.

  • SVL text support - Text from an imported SVL file is now displayed within the Design Preview and Design Data Package pane.

  • Edit surfaces - A new Surface Editor pane has been added, allowing you to:

    • See details like the count of triangles, vertices, and objects that make up a surface.

    • Add and remove objects that comprise the surface.

    • Rename surfaces and change their colors (this can be undone).

    • Delete surfaces.

For details, see Create and Edit Drafting Data.

Designs

  • Design Data Text Support - Text embedded within designs is now viewable in the Design Preview. This text visualization is supported for VCL, SVL, DXF, and DWG files, which brings critical design and linework annotations into view, helping you better understand your design's specific details. For details, see .

  • Design Preview Message - You are now notified during import into the Design Preview when the selected file types do not support rendering.

  • Publish to all devices toggle - The design publishing workflow in WorksManager has been updated so that designs are sent to all current and future devices only when Publish to all devices is specifically enabled. If you manually select all devices in a project, WorksManager now treats that as a one-time selection and will not automatically send the design to devices added later. Additionally, if a project has no devices yet, you can still choose whether future devices should receive the design.
    NOTE: Publish to all devices is not available for VCL files, so compatible devices must still be selected manually.

    For details, seePublish a Design

Members

Permissions

  • View Heatmap Color and Legend - With only Viewer role permissions for a project, you can now select a volume calculation and see the heatmap colors and legend. Previously, the volume was selectable, but no heatmap or legend appeared for Viewer accounts; Viewers could toggle heat maps on/off, but only saw the boundary outline without the actual heatmap. For details, see Overview of Roles and Permissions.

General

Import/Export/Upload

Status Notifications

  • Notifications for Imports, Exports, and Reports - You can now receive the same status notices of import, export, and report actions that you see in WorksOS. Each time a file is imported, or an export or report is generated, WorksManager now tracks the progress of the process so you know if your file is still being imported or if you are waiting for an export or report to generate. The notification icon will also indicate if an import, export, or report fails. For details, see See Status Notifications.

WorksManager Pro

  • You can now manually upgrade an existing WorksManager project to WorksManager Pro.

  • You can now downgrade a WorksManager Pro subscription to Core in the store.

    For details, contact your dealer.

Performance.

  • Performance Improvement - Surface deletion performance has been improved when the last object is removed.

Field Systems and other Integrations

Trimble Connected Community (TCC)

      TCC, the predecessor product to Trimble WorksManager, runs on legacy infrastructure that is vulnerable to external risks and is non-scalable for future business/technology improvements.

      • Enhanced File Explorer Functions - While basic file operations have existed in WorksManager, new folder-level operations are now available. You can now move, copy, and delete entire folders directly within the web interface, which acts as a direct wrapper around TCC, meaning any data stored in TCC is visible and manageable here. This is useful for cases like moving work orders from one surveyor's data collector to another.

      • Third-Party IBSS Sharing - You can now enable sharing with up to 100 Trimble/non-Trimble rovers per Internet base station.

  • Trimble Synchronizer Data can now be accessed from Device Data of devices other than EC520.

  • You can now delete empty folders.

  • The file/folder list in the copy/move wizard is now alphabetically sorted.

Siteworks

  • Siteworks Support for Edited Designs - Designs edited within the 3D viewer are now correctly supported in Siteworks.

Fixed Bugs

This release also fixes these critical discovered or reported issues in which:

Map

3D Viewer

  • Avoidance Zone Visibility in the 3D Viewer - Avoidance zone linework from SVL-based designs was visible in TBC but did not display in the 3D Viewer.

  • Application Lockup in 3D Viewer - The line splitting tool locked up the 3D Viewer when splitting a line segment near its endpoint. The issue was caused by the tool incorrectly drawing a long segment to coordinates (0,0).

Project Data

Surfaces

  • Surface Color Display -

    • There was a color difference in VCL surfaces between read-only and edit modes.

    • There was a difference between the name and colors of TTM surfaces.

  • Surface Properties Multi-selection - After changing the colors of multiple surfaces simultaneously, the number of selected objects on the floating toolbar was incorrectly reduced to one.

  • Surface and Toolbar Display -

    • Floating Toolbar - The floating toolbar did not display for small, read-only surfaces, preventing surface properties from showing.

    • Highlighting - Surface selections lost their highlights during edit when you Ctrl-clicked outside of the surface.

    • Data Package Pane - Highlighting a read-only design on the Data Package pane did not bring up the floating toolbar.

    • Layers Pane Surface context menu - The Delete option was incorrectly available in the context menu for read-only surfaces.

  • Terrain Date Filter - You could not type a date into the terrain layer date/time filter in the 3D Viewer.

Properties

  • Read-only Design colors -

    • Object colors on the properties pane did not match the ByLayer color as per the Layer Manager pane for read-only designs.

    • Differences occurred in the layer colors between read-only and edit states.

  • Properties Pane - The Properties pane closed after you changed the color of a surface.

Layers

  • Layer Manager Search Icons - Search and search-cancel icons were missing from the Layer Manager.

  • Layer Changes for Lines - You could not change the layer for a line in the Properties pane.

  • Layer Editing - Issues were encountered with updates on Layer Edit when the browser was idle for 5 min.

  • Layer Customization - You could not change a layer's color, name, and style.

  • Layer Manager Selection Bug - Selecting a surface on the Layer Manager pane from a non-VCL design did not select the surface on the 3D viewer or bring up the floating toolbar.

  • Layer Manager Pane - Toggling an editable surface's visibility on the Layer Manager pane caused the surface to be deleted.

  • Editing and Layer Management -

    • Line Thickness - Differences were encountered in the interpretation of line thickness units between web3d line thickness and the data source (e.g., TBC line weight) when you made edits.

    • Surface Deletion - Deleting the components of a surface left the surface entry behind on the Layer Manager pane.

    • Selection - Multi-selection of objects (linework, points, and surfaces) using the Ctrl-key did not work as expected.

    • Layer Selection - Layer objects were being selected after changing the color of a surface.

  • Layer Manager Display for Surfaces - The layer manager incorrectly displayed layer properties for surfaces.

Data Packages

  • Design Data & Point Visibility - A bug prevented design package data from being shown. This fix also restores point visibility for designs currently being edited.

  • Color Persistence - Color changes to newly drawn lines and points did not persist after a browser refresh.

  • Data Visibility -

    • You were unable to see the points that were drawn in the 3D Viewer.

    • You could not see designs when they were made visible; the layers were empty as well.

    • You could select Edit from the Data Package pane context menu while already in an editing session. The Edit option is now correctly disabled when editing is in progress.

    • In the Design Preview, an issue caused a blurry map.

  • Linework and Points Display - You were unable to change the color of newly drawn lines/points.

  • Display Issue (daily restart implemented) - An issue preventing the design and layers from showing up, due to running out of resources.

  • Data Package Pane State - The expanded state of the Data Package pane items got out of sync.

  • Design/Data Display and Calibration -

    • Polygon-2 DXF file data was not displaying correctly.

    • Designs imported into uncalibrated projects were not visible; you could not see designs because the map was not calibrated.

  • Vertex Manipulation Issues -

    • You could not manually edit vertex and point coordinates.

    • Vertex dragging got stuck after the initial drag.

    • You could not delete vertices.

    • The Data Package tree state was not correctly maintained when entering edit and navigating between the Layer Manager and back.

  • Design Editing Navigation - The Edit Design button on the Package Details pane did not correctly redirect you to the Designs edit page.

Measurements

  • Volume Graphics - Double-click was required to show a volume measurement as selected when the details pane was open. Also, the Color Picker was not usable when the Template Editor was displayed.

  • Snaps - After calculating a volume, the snaps for point, line, and area measurement creation stopped working; you could not create any measurements without refreshing the page.

  • High Elevation Volumes - Volume 3D tiles disappeared when rotating the camera down for high elevation projects.

  • Cut/fill Colors - The default color scheme for the volumetric heatmap template was counter-intuitive (Cut = blue; Fill = red).

  • Tile Gaps - Noticeable gaps appeared at different zoom levels (depending on the project) when displaying volume 3D tiles.

  • Volume Details - When a volume measurement was deleted, the details pane on the right side still displayed the deleted measurement's information.

  • Zoom - The map was not zooming to surface locations when selecting surfaces for volume measurement, preventing you from seeing generated heatmap results.

  • Heatmap Color Template Names were not saving correctly when you clicked New/Add.

  • The Details pane was not updating when clicking between volume measurements with and without boundaries on the map.

  • Measurements were loaded into the UI in reverse order (oldest at top).

  • The toolbar was not displayed if volume was selected with area selection mode.

  • Overlapping/misaligned 3D volume tiles showed the wrong geometry.

Drafting

  • Line splitting - Line segments were intermittently being dropped after having performed a line split.

  • Colors -

    • Line work colors would get out of sync with the ByLayer color.

    • The color picker on the floating toolbar now only preselects a color when all the selected surfaces have the same color. Otherwise no preselection is made.

    • Color changes to linework via the properties pane were not immediate.

    • You were unable to change line colors the first time; before, two attempts were required.

  • File Name Formatting - Long file names are now correctly wrapped on the Data Package Details pane.

  • SVL Data issues -

    • SVL linework was not visible in the Design Preview or 3D Viewer but visible in TBC.

    • Designs with SVL data did not show the correct colors.

    • Points were not being displayed for SVL designs in the 3D Viewer.

  • Design edits were not being cleared when you opted to delete all design changes.

  • Read-only designs would not stay open when switching between the Layer Manager pane and the Data Package pane.

  • Line end points - You could not delete the start/end points of a line.

  • Surface Icon - The incorrect icon was being used for a surface on the Data Package Details pane.

  • Snap availability - Some irrelevant tools had available snap functionality.

    • Prevention of Self Intersection - While drawing in the 3D Viewer, the system allowed self-intersection based on invalid vertex placements that would cause the polygon to overlap itself.

Members

Permissions

  • Project Viewers could edit existing volume measurements (name, surface selections, surface picker). These editing controls are now disabled for viewer-role users and only available to project managers.

Settings

Coordinate Reference System (CRS)

  • Background maps were not working when the CRS was set to Netherlands RD2018. Additionally, you could not change the CRS with the 3D Enabled box checked.

General

  • Navigation - The floating toolbar and its state were not correctly cleared when you navigated to other WorksManager pages.

  • Color Picker Sync - The color picker on the floating toolbar and properties pane got out of sync when making color changes to surfaces.

  • Object Selections - Active selections were deselected when you clicked into empty space while holding in the Ctrl key.

  • Drawing Tools Disabled - Drawing tools were not being disabled as expected when you exited the edit mode.

  • Selection Highlights Clear on Exit - Line and surface selection highlights were not correctly cleared when you exited the edit mode.

  • Object Parsing - Parsing deeply nested objects in DWG/DXF files was inconsistent.

Import/Export/Upload

  • Uploaded orthoimages could not be processed after import. WorksManager returned the error message "Failed to initiate tiling process," preventing the image from being rendered or viewed in the map interface.

  • Image display - GeoTIFF images were loading but not displaying.

  • Orthoimage failure - In the 3D viewer, you could attempt to upload orthoimages, even if the project lacked a calibration file.

  • Orthoimage sizes - Earlier orthoimage tiles were shown instead of later images at higher zoom levels.

Performance

  • Authorization requests caused backend slowness.

Point Clouds

  • Visibility for Point Clouds - An issue prevented point clouds from displaying. This problem was caused by incorrect underlying paths used during the data loading process.

  • Point Cloud Rendering: Support has been added for modifying visual settings, including point density, size, and color mode.

Field Systems and other Apps

WorksOS

  • Machine compaction data (amplitude, vibration) was missing from WorksOS and not sortable via filters, despite data being visible on the machine and in tag files.

Siteworks

  • Design changes not sent to the field - Design edits made in WorksManager did not appear in Trimble Siteworks.

Known Issues and Limitations

  • In some cases, line thickness in the 3D Viewer may appear disproportionately wider than in the source application (e.g., in Trimble Business Center). If you previously edited imported design data in the 3D Viewer and now find issues with line thickness, you will need to select Delete all Changes on the toolbar at the top of the Design Packages pane and redo your edits.

  • The project must be a new Connected Project in WorksManager Pro.

  • Calculations can be completed on imported TTM surfaces and surveyed surfaces in the project. Measurements on data from machine as-builts are on the roadmap. For details, see Make and Save Measurements.

  • WorksManager does not currently support displaying .pro file data in the Design Preview; this also affects the 3D Viewer.
