Workspace is built for contractors who want the control they’re used to, without the friction that came with older tools. It brings together the strengths of both Design Pro and Design Studio and rebuilds them on a modern foundation that’s faster, easier to use, and fully connected to the rest of Hover.
Whether you’re coming from Design Pro or Design Studio, Workspace is designed to feel familiar where it matters and better where it counts.

How Workspace 3D mode compares to Design Pro
Design Pro earned its reputation with powerful measurement and editing tools that gave you precise control over the model. Those capabilities made it a go-to for detailed scoping and design work, but the underlying technology limited how much it could evolve.
Workspace 3D keeps that same professional-grade control while removing many of the constraints that slowed you down. Editing facets, adjusting materials, and working with measurements all feel more responsive and easier to manage.
Changes are saved automatically, design versions are easier to compare, and everything lives inside a single, connected workflow instead of a standalone tool.
The result is the same depth of control you rely on, delivered through faster performance, cleaner navigation, and tighter integration with estimating, measurements, and sharing.
Same control and accuracy, with a smoother workflow
Faster performance and easier navigation
Changes save automatically and designs are easier to manage
Design, measurements, and estimating all live in one place

How Workspace 3D mode compares to Design Studio
Design Studio focused on simplicity and approachability, which made it great for early conversations and quick visuals. However, it didn’t offer the level of detail or control that many professionals need once a project moves into scoping and estimating.
Workspace 3D builds on that simple experience and adds the advanced tools you expect. You get full access to measurements, precise facet editing, and material customization, all without adding complexity. The interface stays intuitive, and the visual style stays consistent with 2D Design, so moving between tools feels natural instead of jarring.
This makes Workspace 3D flexible enough for quick design conversations and powerful enough for production-level work.
Just as easy to use, but built for real jobs
Adds measurements, facet editing, and material control
Works for scoping and estimating, not just visuals
Feels consistent with 2D Design so nothing feels disconnected
Design, measurements, and estimating all live in one place
