DroneDeploy Aerial

Terrain Aware 2000 Acres –  Removes the previous 200-acre cap so teams can create a single flight plan for megaprojects, eliminating the need to split large-scale mapping missions.

RTK Reliability ImprovementsEnables NAD83 (2011) RTK capture with improved in-flight connection behavior for more accurate, reliable, and safer flights across supported regions.

 

Dock Resumable MissionsBreakpoint resume for interrupted flights and improved reliability when page reloads occur during an active Dock mission.

DroneDeploy Aerial Pro

Uploading Preprocessed Ortho + DEM GeoTIFF for VolumetricsUpload 3D Maps (.las, .sbf, .tif) generated by third-party photogrammetry tools into DroneDeploy for sharing, measurements, and cut/fill analysis.

Cut/Fill EnhancementsSee cut/fill history by estimated rate or total volumes, and preview location outlines when location-based cut fill is enabled.

 

Splat Pre-Check - Gaussian Splats are now checked prior to processing. If the model is unlikely to succeed, the Splat is blocked and an explanation is given, reducing failed processing attempts.

BIM for Any Size Project – Easily switch between multiple models and automatically sync new versions from Autodesk Forma (ACC), with no project size limitations.

Guided Interior UploadsA helpful (but skippable) guided workflow walks users through uploading media across Interior Levels, reducing setup errors on the first upload.

AI Walk Path PreviewWalk paths are now available to preview in just 15 minutes with 95% accuracy — before full processing is complete.

AI Level ScaleLevels with Walks are automatically scaled by AI for more accurate measurements and better media viewing across Interior projects.

Bulk Level Creation – Quickly create multiple aligned Levels from a multi-page PDF or multiple files, the system splits them automatically and creates a level for each page.

Mobile UX Improvements – Four updates for field teams: faster loading from cached data, photo previews reduced from ~7s to ~1s, ability to request edit permissions from the field, and pre-capture alerts for common errors (memory card state, battery charge, camera firmware, and device specs).
