# 2.8.51

> Oct 26, 2026

**What's new:** projects, Scan to BIM, interactive elements, and Office files.

## Projects to group chats and files

* Unified workspace projects for files and private chats.
* Organize chats with sections and pins, and manage project membership.
* Set weekly project and workspace credit limits.

Workspace and project credit limits

## Scan to BIM and point-cloud support

* Import and browse large XYZ/OBJ files, up to 4 GB.
* Use AI for scan/IFC comparison, plane detection, and 3D reconstruction.

AI-reconstructed IFC model

## Revit and AutoCAD element links

Ask AI to output interactive Revit and AutoCAD IDs that select, highlight, or focus elements in the connected application.

## Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files

* AI can read, edit, and create .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files.
* Studio can open them in preview.

## Improvements

* On enterprise subscriptions, chats and files never expire.
* Stable automatic chat titles that follow the conversation language.
* Unsent text drafts survive reloads.
* AI-assisted PDF redlines saved as document versions.
* Redesigned MCP access: external agents can use Studio tools without creating a Studio chat.
* Report sign-in problems before logging in.
* More reliable IFC recovery, Rhino execution, AutoCAD cancellation, and chat compaction.

## Bug fixes

* Removing an automation from a chain keeps its original Library entry.
* Retry no longer fails after a permission change.
* Further fixes for automations, permissions, updates, and UI accessibility.
