About Video Guides in Help Centre
- In our webinars, we are frequently asked for a recording of the real-time suburban backyard design that illustrates how to use Permiehub. We have selected the most crucial steps of the design and created a recording of the tools being used. These step-by-step videos show you how to create a base map, record observations in a site analysis overlay, and then sculpt out your concept design.

Map Land
- An accurate map provides multiple benefits, as it acts as a foundation for design and helps place elements that support the land, its inhabitants, and its visitors. However, the process of mapping land to create a base map might feel like a daunting task. Fortunately, we can use a variety of techniques and tools to describe the physical features of a site.

About Size Controls for Labels & Markers
- We have updated printing in Permiehub to give you greater control over how your projects look on paper. To print selected parts of your design with uniform label and marker sizes, you can now set them to an absolute dimension that remains constant regardless of scale and paper size.

About Sun Tool With Town Lookup
- Permiehub's Sun Tool tracks the sun's path throughout the year for any latitude and longitude. You can now search by location to automatically set these coordinates and your time zone. All coordinates are rounded to keep your exact position private.

About Base Map Wizard Support in New Zealand
- Base Map Wizard support is arriving for those designing in New Zealand. The Base Map Wizard now automatically loads property boundaries, building outlines, high-resolution aerial imagery, roads, and water features such as creeks, rivers, lakes, and dams. It also includes 20m contours and sun path data for the entire country.

About Base Map Wizard Support in South Australia
- Base Map Wizard support is now available for South Australia. Alongside property boundaries, new data for contours and waterbodies provides the information you need to design everything from suburban backyards to large rural properties.

About Markers with Outlines
- Markers now include an outline to help important features stand out clearly against aerial imagery. These might represent sector analysis observations or infrastructure items, such as garden taps, that you wish to incorporate into your design.

About Labels with Borders
- Labels can appear on the design either plain or within a border. The light background of bordered labels improves visibility while viewing your design. A new toggle next to the label controls allows you to show labels within borders, mirroring the way they appear when modified for printing.

About Custom Width and Colour of Communication Pathways
- Communication pathways can now be assigned specific colours and thicknesses to represent the importance or frequency of movement through your design. Colour coding these helps you remember to leave enough space for access, such as ensuring a path is wide enough for a wheelbarrow.
