This is 2026.9 documentation. Coverage here is incremental: a page exists only where 2026.9
differs or is newly documented. For any other topic, switch to Current (2026.8 and earlier) in
the version selector.
What still applies
These guides still describe the outcome. Use them for the repeatable pattern. Switch to the 2026.9 pages below when a step hits the new viewer, Intelligence, or a dump-host connector.- Design review — saved views, federation, markups, and issues. In 2026.9 the viewer chrome is different: see 3D viewer in 2026.9.
- Model validation — rules and dashboards. Workspace Intelligence still opens dashboards. Chat is a separate surface: see Ask questions about your models with Speckle Intelligence.
- Grasshopper componentised pipeline — modules that hand off data through Speckle models. Node names, Explore, and script upgrades are on Grasshopper in 2026.9 and Upgrade Grasshopper to 2026.9.
- Revit room data extraction — pull room data with SpecklePy. Revit placement and Apply Transform are on Revit in 2026.9.
- SpecklePy model analytics — load published data into DuckDB. Publish and load still follow the connector guides under Current unless your host has a 2026.9 page. See Connectors in 2026.9.
- Grasshopper design explorer — compare alternatives from Grasshopper. Do not treat that page as a 2026.9 rewrite. Explore and related connector changes live under Grasshopper in 2026.9.
New in 2026.9
Worked examples with no Current equivalent — each shows a real pattern end to end rather than just listing what’s possible:- Assess model changes with Speckle Intelligence — ask Chat what changed between two versions, then filter and colour the model by how significant each change is.
- Take off quantities and cost with Speckle Intelligence — ask Chat for a priced takeoff against your own pinned rate card.
- Benchmark a project against your portfolio with Speckle Intelligence — pin a benchmark library as Knowledge so Chat can compare the open project against your past work.
- Validate incoming models automatically — set a Validation Check to auto trigger so every new version is checked against your standard without anyone starting it by hand.
What 2026.9 changes in those outcomes
- Viewing — hybrid load, docked Selection / Filters / Views, and section planes. See 3D viewer in 2026.9.
- Intelligence — Chat in the project sidebar and the viewer sparkle. Workspace Intelligence is still dashboards. See Ask questions about your models with Speckle Intelligence.
- Connectors — Revit Apply Transform, Grasshopper Explore, and Power BI Get Tables. See Connectors in 2026.9, Revit in 2026.9, Grasshopper in 2026.9, and Power BI in 2026.9.
FAQ
Why aren't the six workflow tutorials copied here?
Why aren't the six workflow tutorials copied here?
2026.9 docs stay sparse. A missing page means use the guide under Current, not that the
workflow went away. This hub exists so you can find both.
Does design review still use saved views and issues?
Does design review still use saved views and issues?
Yes. The outcome is the same. The 3D viewer chrome around those tools changed. Follow Design
review for the pattern and 3D viewer in
2026.9 for the new panels.
What happens if I follow the Grasshopper design explorer guide from before 2026.9?
What happens if I follow the Grasshopper design explorer guide from before 2026.9?
That guide still describes the dashboard pattern. Connector steps that changed in 2026.9 are on
Grasshopper in 2026.9, not as a second tutorial
here.
