Emlid Flow users on Pro and Business plans can now set vertical tolerance for surface stakeout to check elevations against the requirements at different construction stages.

Define the acceptable deviation from your design surface in Survey settings, and the stakeout plate will turn green when the measured elevation is within tolerance. This will give you immediate visual feedback on whether the elevation meets your requirements.

Previously, you could only view layers already added to a project in Emlid Flow 360. Now, you can select additional layers from your existing WMS library right in the Emlid Flow app. 

This makes it easier to bring in additional map references while you’re in the field, be it aerial imagery, cadastral maps, or other geographic information.

To add WMS layers, open Map layers in your Emlid Flow project and select the layers you need from the available list.

Exported DXF files have better-organized layers, clearer labels, and improved point representation, reducing manual cleanup and making survey data easier to work with.

\"image

Better layer organization

Survey data is now organized into layers based on feature codes. Each code has separate layers for points, names, and lines. For example, features with the Pipeline code are exported into Pipeline-POINTS, Pipeline-NAMES, and Pipeline-LINES layers. This makes it easier to find, manage, and edit specific features without sorting through the entire drawing.

3D points with actual elevations

All measured positions, including line vertices, are now exported as 3D POINT objects with their actual elevations. You can snap directly to these points in CAD software, making it easier to use surveyed coordinates and elevations in design workflows.

More visible points and readable labels

Points are now displayed as crosses inside circles that maintain a consistent size on screen, rather than tiny dots that can be difficult to spot in the CAD software. If you prefer a different point style, you can change it in your CAD software settings.

We’ve also improved the placement and size of labels. Names, codes, descriptions, and elevations are anchored to their corresponding point coordinates, making it easier to identify which feature each label belongs to. Smaller labels also help keep dense drawings readable.

Easier styling and cleaner annotations

Exported objects now use ByLayer colors, so you can adjust the appearance of an entire layer directly in your CAD software. We’ve also fixed an issue that caused duplicate annotations on line vertices.

The improved DXF export is available in Emlid Flow 15.12 and Emlid Flow 360. You can also use it with existing projects—just export your survey data again. Don’t forget to update the Emlid Flow app and refresh Emlid Flow 360!

With the latest updates, Emlid Flow and Emlid Flow 360 now support a much wider range of characters in names, including:

This applies to projects, folders, code libraries, project-only codes, workspaces, and user names. For example, you can name projects and folders the way you normally would, using names like Riverside Topographic Survey (12.09.2026) without having to remove brackets, dots, or other supported characters.

We’ve also updated exports to safely handle a wider range of supported names and to improve support for non-Latin text, including Arabic, Chinese, and Cyrillic characters.

The Stake elevation feature in Emlid Flow is now available with Pro, Pro Individual, and Business plans. It helps you check the elevation during grading and verify the finished area against the target elevation, without using a surface file or staking out individual points or lines.

This workflow helps you

To check whether an area is on grade

  1. Tap the elevation value on the Survey screen, enter the Design height and Vertical tolerance for the job, and start stakeout.
  2. Move around the area and watch the color-coded cut/fill feedback: red means cut, gray means fill, and green means you’re within the specified tolerance.

You can now easily identify spots that need further work and check whether an area is on grade on the construction site. Learn more in the Checking elevation guide.
