CanopyCode™ changelog

Every release, and what changed in it.

  • CanopyCode Version 1.0.15

    v1.0.15, September 7, 2026

    New: canopy square footage

    • Import a canopy measurement from your survey and get a Canopy S.F. column with its own subtotal. Three South Florida municipalities size mitigation by canopy area, and West Palm Beach no longer uses DBH at all
    • Two separate mapping choices, “Canopy Radius (trunk to edge)” and “Canopy Spread (full width)”, because reading one as the other is four times wrong. The mapping screen tells you how your column will be read before importing
    • An Adj. Canopy S.F. column applies a per-group multiplier, so you can show the mitigation owed beside the raw area. Each group has its own multiplier and its own Apply to setting: removed trees, saved trees, or both
    • Ten new site info lines for canopy and units totals, each switchable in CC_CONFIGURE
    • Canopy measurements can be edited per tree in CC_EDIT_TREE_DATA, so one bad survey value can be fixed without re-importing
    • Table headers now say what they count, for example “Adj. Canopy S.F. (Saved, x3)”, and stay silent when no single description fits every row

    Bug Fixes

    • Fixed loading a preset silently discarding your saved table column settings. Renamed headers, hidden columns and Total ticks were all replaced by the defaults. Your preset file was correct the whole time. This affects every version up to and including 1.0.14
    • Fixed Restore Defaults and Load Preset both ignoring the “Show units for trees with no status set” switch
    • Fixed the total row appearing to label the wrong numbers. Canopy totals now carry SF
    • Fixed the site info reporting “Units Preserved: 0.00” for trees that had never been measured
    • Fixed a message saying settings were saved to a file beside your drawing. Settings live in the drawing itself

    Also in this release

    • Every column that can be totalled now has its own Total tick, so Units and Adj. Units each carry their own subtotal
    • INVASIVE is now its own label category, separate from DDH. A healthy but invasive tree used to carry the same tag as a dead one
    • AutoCAD 2024 gets everything above. This release was tested in AutoCAD 2024 and Civil 3D 2026

  • CanopyCode Version 1.0.14

    v1.0.14, August 21, 2026

    Improvements

    • Column mapping screen now opens on every CSV import, so you can check the match before importing (switch it off in CC_CONFIGURE, Data tab)
    • Remembered column mappings now build up across files instead of replacing each other, with a button to clear them
    • X Coordinate, Y Coordinate, Latitude and Longitude can now be mapped by hand

    Bug Fixes

    • Fixed an import failing when two trees share the same tag number. CanopyCode now shows you those rows and asks: skip them, or add a letter so each tag is unique (511 becomes 511A and 511B)
    • Fixed CC_ANALYZE replacing freshly imported coordinates with older positions from the drawing
    • Fixed CSV import failing on unrecognized column headers, 16 common surveyor names now map automatically
    • Fixed on-screen instructions naming eight commands that no longer exist
    • Fixed the import preview showing DBH changes that would not be saved
    • Fixed the import “Next steps” list skipping a number

  • CanopyCode Version 1.0.13

    v1.0.13, April 13, 2026

    Improvements

    • Simplified the Rules tab, removed the legacy global multiplier section (per-group multipliers are now the only option)

    Bug Fixes

    • Fixed Adjusted Units subtotals showing incorrect values for excluded tree groups
    • Fixed Adjusted Units column staying hidden in “Auto” mode even when adjustments were active
    • Fixed group multipliers not being applied when loading presets or restoring defaults
    • Fixed setting a group multiplier to 0 being ignored instead of zeroing out values

  • CanopyCode Version 1.0.12

    v1.0.12, March 29, 2026

    Configuration Dialog Overhaul

    • Redesigned CC_CONFIGURE with 5 streamlined tabs (Rules, Appearance, Data, Table Columns, Text/Labels) and modern collapsible sections
    • Live preview panel shows how your saved, impacted, and removed trees will appear, updates instantly as you change settings
    • Dialog remembers your last-open tab and which sections were expanded

    New Features

    • Per-group classification exclusions, each classification group independently controls whether Poor, Dead, and Invasive trees are excluded
    • CRZ and SRP visibility toggles now work independently for saved and removed trees
    • Trunk impact analysis, catches trees whose trunk physically overlaps the LOD boundary, even when CRZ/SRP are turned off
    • Separate visibility toggles for saved and removed tree symbols
    • “Pick Closed Polyline(s)…” button directly in each area group, jump straight from configuration to selecting polylines
    • “Show Areas” button highlights your area boundaries with colors for quick visual verification
    • Inline area color pickers moved into each area group for easier access
    • CRZ/SRP preview now shows your selected linetype, lineweight, and transparency

    Layer & Color Improvements

    • ACI (AutoCAD Color Index) support across all color settings, fixes plot style issues when drawings are X-Referenced
    • New “Preserve manual layer colors” option, CanopyCode won’t override layer colors you’ve set manually
    • Removal X symbols now placed on dedicated layers, freeze or color X symbols independently from tree blocks

    Bug Fixes

    • Fixed area polyline picker losing newly created areas in certain workflows
    • Fixed CRZ multiplier field not accepting decimal values
    • Fixed DBH threshold rounding, trees at fractional DBH values now correctly match classification groups
    • Fixed custom area trees not appearing in validation summary and CSV export
    • Fixed crash when running commands immediately after opening a file in Civil 3D
    • Fixed curved area boundaries misclassifying trees near arc segments
    • Fixed Units and Adjusted Units columns showing blank values for excluded trees

    New Features

    • Scalloped tree symbols, Organic, cloud-like tree outlines replace plain circles for a more professional plan appearance
    • Separate saved & removed tree symbols, Saved trees show solid fill; removed trees show dashed outline with crosshatch. Each is independently customizable via BEDIT

    • Unified table layout, “All trees in one table” mode with configurable grouping options
    • Original & Adjusted Units columns, New “Adj. Units” column shows values after area/group/specimen multipliers
    • Invasive tree tracking, Invasive trees tracked independently from tree condition, with separate table categories
    • Custom area exclusions, Per-area Exclude Poor / Exclude Dead / Exclude Invasive checkboxes
    • Unified SET commands, All four boundary SET commands now use the same Add/Remove/Show/Clear/Done workflow
