FLEX Is Live β€” And This Is Just the Beginning πŸš€

An explanation of the Flex Beta

We’re excited to officially share that FLEX is now in Public Pilot.

FLEX is our best-in-class scan β†’ edit β†’ export workflow β€” built to help contractors move faster from captured space to usable files in the tools they already rely on.

But let’s be clear (and excited about it):

This is a public pilot, not the final form.

We’re building FLEX in the open so you can start benefiting from it immediately β€” instead of waiting months for a β€œperfect” release.


What FLEX Does Today πŸ’ͺ

Right now, FLEX gives you the power to:

  • ✏️ Edit walls (move, rotate, refine)

  • 🧱 Create flooring areas for estimating workflows

  • πŸ“€ Export your plan directly from FLEX (limited exports, see below)

It’s already a powerful way to dial in your scanned layout before sending it downstream.

We made a deliberate choice to launch with these core tools first β€” because contractors told us what they need most is the ability to tweak and tighten plans immediately, without waiting on a fully built editing suite.


What’s Coming (And Coming Fast) πŸ”₯

FLEX is evolving quickly. Over the next few months, you’ll see major tools roll out regularly:

Next Up

  • βž• Add walls

  • βž– Add half walls

Shortly After

  • πŸ“Œ Pin notes directly to the plan

  • πŸ›  Add and edit objects (appliances, cabinets, fixtures, etc.)

  • πŸ“ Custom dimensions and expanded editing tools

  • πŸ— Continued geometry improvements

We expect FLEX to be fully featured over the next few months β€” and we’re shipping updates continuously.


FLEXports πŸ’₯ (Yes, We Went There)

Not all of your exports are available from the start, but they are rolling in rapidly.

Right now:

  • βœ… DXF export is live

  • βœ… DXF β†’ CAD-to-walls workflow is live

Coming very soon:

  • πŸ“„ PDF export

  • 🧰 2020 export

  • πŸ”— JobTread integration (edited parameters flowing into budgets)

  • πŸ”— Buildxact integration workflow

Exports are actively catching up to the editing engine β€” and you’ll see new FLEXports appear regularly.

Regular exports with he original scan are all still available)


Why We Launched This Way

We could have waited.

We could have built every single feature before releasing anything.

But that’s not how contractors work β€” and it’s not how we build software.

We wanted to give you the ability to:

Scan.

Tweak.

Dial it in.

Move faster.

Now.

The public pilot gives everyone access to features as they ship. That means more real-world feedback, better workflows, and a tool shaped by how contractors actually operate.


A Quick Word on Patience πŸ™Œ

FLEX is powerful today.

It will be even more powerful tomorrow.

As with any public pilot, there will be:

  • Rapid updates

  • Frequent improvements

  • New tools appearing regularly

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue building. This is not a static release β€” it’s an evolving platform.


The Big Picture

FLEX exists for one reason:

To eliminate cleanup time between the scan and the software you already use.

It’s not about replacing your CAD or estimating tools.

It’s about helping you start faster in them.

And we’re just getting started.

Let’s build this together. πŸ’ͺ
