Major features

Restoring deleted designs

You can restore your deleted designs now, up to 30 days in the past.
Follow this guide to learn how: Restoring deleted designs

Custom object templates

You can save any object (obstacle, image, text, drawing, etc.) on the arena as a template to quickly add it to the design in the future.
Check out the guide for how to do it: Creating object templates

Improvements

Reordering object icons in the toolbox

You can reorder the icons of the objects in the left toolbar the way you want.
Refer to the guide for instructions: Customising object toolbox

Improvements

Added a dialog with question to the user what type of device is in use to run the application: tablet/phone or laptop/desktop.

This information is used to tune the user interface. Since the web browsers don’t offer a reliable way of detecting the device type, the best method is to actually ask the user. This question will appear only once in each web browser and the answer can be later changed in the Interface options in the Project menu of the design editor.

Major features

Support for German in the application

The application was translated to German. Since now we support English, German, French, Spanish and Polish.

Support for tablets and phones

Until now, the application required a desktop or notebook computer with keyboard and mouse. Now it will also work on tablet and phone devices with touchscreens.

You can prepare your design on laptop in the office or at home and easily use it on tablet or phone on the arena. Editing is also supported, although might be a bit difficult on devices with small screens.

Improvements

Transparency of images

Added opacity to user images. This enables effective manual import/copy of courses designed outside of parkour.design, as in the following guide: Importing a design.

Fine-grained movement of objects with cursor keys

Hold Alt key pressed while moving selected objects with cursor keys to move them with fine precision.

Making objects part of the arena

Images, texts, curves and other objects have a checkbox Part of arena, which locks these objects in place. Since that was causing troubles interfering with editing nearby course, now it will be not possible to select such object by clicking on it.

To select and modify an object, that was made part of the arena, you need to open Objects tab in the side panel and select the object from the list of objects.

Proper colours of labels for obstacles reused in multiple rounds

For obstacles that are jumped in multiple rounds, while they keep and reuse their original number from the primary round in all rounds, the colour of the label will be set to the last round in which this obstacle is jumped.

Alignment of multiple round courses from an obstacle

Added a command to equalise the courses of multiple rounds behind the selected obstacle. This will make their curves look exactly like in the indicated round.

Major features

Support for French in the application

Application was translated to French – you can select it now on the top bar among English, Spanish and Polish. If you notice there are troubles with this translation, please let us know through the embedded chat or send us an email to: support@parkour.design, so we can fix it.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem where it was possible to split the course or delete the course before an obstacle in a point, which resulted in a malformed course and application hang. Commands Split course after and Delete course before will be disabled when running them is not permitted.

Improvements

Smoothing the course

Added commands to smooth the course after the selected obstacle (default keyboard shortcut H) and smooth the whole course (default keyboard shortcut Shift-H).

Smoothing the course attempts to eliminate or move the points on the course so it has less irregular and abrupt turns, while preserving the course shape.

Unified behaviour of commands and buttons operating on obstacles on the course

For obstacles that are part of the course, the following commands were unified to have the same look and feel:

• Detach from course
• Reverse direction
• Straighten forward path
• Smooth course after
• Delete course after
• Delete course before
• Split course after

When the main button or menu command is pressed, these commands will operate on the last round for the selected obstacles. This should match the most popular way the designs are created – round by round. For a few commands, this will be different to how they operated previously, for example detaching from the course used to detach the obstacle from all rounds. Now you would need to use the command a few times in a row to detach the obstacle from the course round by round or choose a submenu option (see the next paragraph).

Each of the buttons and menu commands have a sub-menu that can be opened to select a specific round on which to execute the command.

Disabling Start, Finish and Finish/Start lines on the plan in PDF

An option was added to remove the lines and photocells of Start, Finish or Finish/Start from the plan before printing or saving to PDF.

A button to go fullscreen

A button was added to enter/exit fullscreen.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem with stride calculations where if all strides in a distance were at the maximum possible length, there was an incorrect warning that they could not fit the distance.
• Fixed a problem where changing competition or display parameters was resetting the competition table.
• Fixed a problem where changing competition or display parameters was disabling the layout lines.

Major features

Support for Spanish in the application

Application was translated to Spanish – you can select it now on the top bar among English and Polish. If you notice there are troubles with this translation, please let us know through the embedded chat or send us an email to: support@parkour.design, so we can fix it.

Support for SJI (Showjumping Ireland) rules

It is now possible to select SJI, additionally to FEI, USEF and PZJ.

Improvements

Improvements to handling Table, Time Allowed and Time Limit

For competitions based on FEI or derivative rules, it is now possible to select Table A or C separately for each round. It will affect the way the Time Allowed is calculated for that round. In the primary round, the selected table will follow the guidance from the selected rule / article. Tables different to the previous round will be displayed in the Competition table in the appropriate round’s section.

The Table selection was moved from General tab to the Course length, speed and time limit tab.

It also now possible to manually disable or enable Time allowed and Time limit. It will affect displaying these values in the Competition table.

More languages in the Competition table

Now available: English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Swedish.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem where a second or third Start could not be connected directly to an obstacle in another round.
• Fixed a problem where in Competition parameters it was not possible to enter manually Rules when the Competition type was unspecified.

Improvements

Arena rotation

Added commands to rotate the whole arena with all of its content.

Alignment of course for different rounds between the same obstacles

In a situation where the course of multiple rounds (for example the primary round and a jump-off) goes between the same two obstacles, it is easy now to make both tracks look the same. Let say you have the primary round course done and part of the jump-off course goes through the same two obstacles that are already in the primary round. Select a green path control point on the jump-off course and use a command or button Copy course from round 1. Between the two obstacles, jump-off will have the same course as the primary round. You can copy the course segments between any rounds, providing these rounds go between the same two obstacles.

Arena templates

Now it is possible to designate objects like curve, text, image, in-out marker and competition table to be part of the arena. Then a new command Empty arena can be used to remove everything that is not part of the arena. That way you can clone a project and with one click get it ready for your new design, without the need to replace the objects like your company logo, course designer text box or stationary trees.

Major features

USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) Rules

Added an option to select which federation rules will be used for setting the course limits (like spreads, heights) and to validate the course.

Additionally to FEI, we implemented the rules for USEF and small differences that PZJ has on top of FEI. Currently we are supporting the following rule sets:

• FEI (Fédération Equestre Internationale) – Jumping Rules 2025, 27th edition
• USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) – JP Jumper Division effective 12/01/2024
• PZJ (Polski Związek Jeździecki – Polish Equestrian Federation) – version 2025 clean

The rules can be selected under the Competition type when creating a new design or later in the Competition parameters dialog.

Improvements

Configurable grid size

The size of the grid (displayed with the default keyboard shortcut 7 or when printing/saving the design) can be now configured in the Display options.

Feet/Inches ’/” and yards as units

Added support for displaying distances and obstacle dimensions in combined feet and inches and displaying distances in yards. The option can be selected when creating the new design or later in the Display options.

Disabling course validation before saving or printing

The window reporting errors found in course validation can be turned off to not appear before printing or saving the design. The option is available in the Display options.

Fixes

Fixed a problem where after connecting Start to the first obstacle, it was not possible to add path control points to the path between them.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem where obstacle heights with defined classes were not saved properly when changed

Fixes

• Fixed a problem where a course without a track (connected obstacles) would not be saved.

Major features

Support for two jump-offs / two phases with a jump-off

Now it is possible to draw the second jump-off or a jump-off after the second phase. Drag and drop the third Start to the arena and draw the jump-off’s course. You can reuse the obstacles between the course of the three rounds (primary round, second phase and jump-offs).

Please see the guide for more details: Course, tracks and rounds.

Separate speeds for each round

Each round can have an individual speed defined in the Course parameters.

Changes to the subscription plans

For all future subscribers, we are offering only Advanced and Masters plans. We won’t be offering the Starter plan anymore.
All current subscribers to the Starter plan will not be affected and can continue using it.

Improvements

• Added car to the 3D visualisation.

Fixes

• Fixed incorrect competition table layout in vertical orientation. Now all table fields are aligned properly.

Major features

Support for obstacle dimensions in feet

Up until now it has been possible to choose feet as the unit for distances. Now you can also, separately, use feet for the obstacle dimensions: spreads, heights and lengths. For more details please see the guide.

The units can be chosen when creating a new design:

They can be later changed in the Display options:

Improvements

Major features

• From now on, all new subscriptions, covering companies and individual clients, will be made using Paddle. Stripe will not be used for the new users.
• A Designs Library with example course designs was added to Your Projects screen. The library contains a few designs that can be cloned by all users, modified and used freely. We plan to extend the library in the future providing examples for a variety of different course designs.
  After the first login, all new users will find an example course design on their projects list. The example design can be modified and used freely.

Improvements

• Added a navigation menu to Your Projects screen to make the navigation easier.

• Added ability to specify the maximum obstacle height for ascending oxers and triple bars. The option is available in the obstacle’s materials editor, when the top row of the obstacle is ascending.

• Added ability to display obstacle’s height and spread above the obstacle on the plan. The values are coded as: height / max height / spread, where max height is present when an ascending oxer or triple barre is selected in the materials editor. Displaying the values can be enabled in the Display options and the color of the text can be selected on the Colors tab. When enabled, values will be printed on the Masterplan.

• Added new column with Height/Spread to the PDF page with Obstacles. The values are coded in the same way as these placed above the obstacles.

• Added ability to print out the Grid lines on PDF – the option can be selected on the page selection dialog before printing or saving to PDF.

• Added ability to change the color of the obstacle’s name – the option is available in the Display options on the Colors tab.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem where on Your Projects screen, if the list of designs was set to the list mode, the previews of the designs where unnaturally vertically stretched. This problem occurred only on Safari browser.
• Fixed a problem where it was not possible to add a course shape manipulation point by double-clicking on the course, if it was under a group of obstacles.

Improvements

• Added ability to hide the original course on the main plan when printing or saving to PDF.
• When a trial period is in progress, the start and end dates are now presented on user’s profile page.
• The trial period will now start automatically after a new user signs up. There is no more need to pass the credit card info when starting the trial period. The purchase will be handled once the trial period ends.
• Simplified user interactions with Paddle – our payment processor:
  • Paddle customer portal will open with no need for extra logging in.
  • One-page checkout is used in Paddle. Previously there were two steps.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug when arrow could detach from start or finish objects when moving their photocells causing problems with connecting the object to the course.
• Fixed a problem when changing a user image for an existing object which is not an image caused application to crash.
• Fixed ‘None’ pattern for a course path so it is really none (previously there were still some dots).
• Fixed a problem when changing customer’s email in Paddle (our payment processor) caused the subscription to be removed from our application – now user’s can change their Paddle emails freely.

Improvements

In the user profile configuration, there is a new option to turn off zooming of the editor’s view with the mouse wheel. This option is useful when using an Apple mouse that has a touch-sensitive scroll area which can cause the zooming to occur unintentionally when moving the mouse.

Major features

Manual setting of distance between obstacles in a combination

For combination obstacles that form a group it is now possible to enter manually the desired distance between obstacles. Select the combination group and enter the distance in the bottom-right object panel by entering the distance manually or using the arrows. Upon confirming the entered value with enter, the combination will be rearranged to meet the entered distance between each two obstacles.

Added paddle.com as a payment provider

Since this version all new subscribers will be serviced by two providers:

• stripe.com – for commercial subscribers (companies)
• paddle.com – for individual subscribers (consumers)

This change will ensure proper accounting of the VAT tax. Everyone that subscribed before this change will continue being serviced by Stripe and should be not affected.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug when layout lines remained visible on a printout with the arena only

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where it was not possible to use space when editing competition parameters.
• Fixed a bug where exiting editor to the designs list while having a drawing selected caused an exception/hang.

Major features

Support for layout lines

It is possible to display and print out obstacle layout lines (aka tape lines). These lines show the distance between the ends of the obstacle and arena side and are intended to help better position the obstacles on the real arena.

The layout lines can be toggled in the editor with the command Show/Hide layout lines from the View menu (default key shortcut 9).

To print or save the layout lines on the Masterplan, check the Layout lines box under the Masterplan in the PDF page selection dialog.

Support for vertical PDFs

The design’s page orientation (horizontal or vertical) will automatically align with the design’s content. It will be visible in the page boundaries in the editor and in the saved or printed PDFs.

Support for combination types

A combination obstacle can be marked as open / closed / partially closed. To make the choice, the combination must be a group of obstacles. Selecting a group that is a combination will display a combination type dialog in the bottom right panel with object properties.

The number of closed and partially closed combinations is counted and can be displayed in the competition table. It is enabled by default and can be disabled by clicking the checkbox in the table options.

Improvements

New page selection dialog before printing or saving to PDF

The layout of the dialog has been updated to emphasise the page options. A button was added that allows for saving the selected pages and options as user’s default setting.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem that the course validation and number of found problems was not updated immediately after the design was loaded.

Major features

• Added support for distances in feet.
• Changing units will affect distances between obstacles, course lengths and arena size. Obstacle’s stride, height and length are still represented in meters.
• Units can be chosen when creating a new design.

• Units can be changed later in design’s Display Parameters.

Improvements

• Added possibility to sort designs in the editor on the designs panel

• Added a warning when application is run on a device with a low resolution (below 1366×768)

Fixes

• Fixed a problem when panning view with space immediately after clicking on zoom buttons causes the zooming to continue.
• Fixed a problem when application could hang when adding a course control point very close to the obstacle.
• Fixed a problem when application could hang when clicking on an obstacle number for an obstacle used only in the second round of jump-off

Major features

Support for Mini-LL competition class

In the design’s competition parameters, or when creating a new design, we added possibility to choose a Mini-LL competition class.

Mini-LL is similar to LL class, but it allows for smaller heights, up to 85 cm and for lower speeds, starting from 300 m/min.

Improvements

• Display options have been further split into more tabs (from two to three). The new one is called Sizes and Patterns.

• Added a parkour.design branding label to the generated PDF and printout. It contains the text: “Designed in https://parkour.design”. This label may be switched off having the Masters subscription plan, using the option “Show the label ‘Designed in https://parkour.design’ in the printout” in the Display options dialog, General tab.

Fixes

• Fixed the way how the time limit is calculated. It was incorrectly rounded to nearest integer number, now it always rounded down. This makes the calculations match the classical printed judge time limit tables.

Improvements

Display options have been divided into two tabs: General and Colors. On the General tab it is now possible to define different font sizes for:

• obstacle numbers
• competition table (banner)
• distances
• arena ruler

Fixes

• Fixed a problem where in Your projects screen, some of the designs could be missing their previews. The missing previews should be generated and appear after approximately 5-10 seconds from entering Your projects screen. Once generated, the previews will be stored, and in the future, they should be displayed immediately.
• Fixed a problem with Bank obstacles, where after loading the design, the grey obstacle’s arrow was pointing at a wrong angle.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem in Competition parameters, when it was possible to completely remove obstacle’s heights or spreads, which caused application to malfunction.
• Removed Object generator from the list of objects, which can be selected when changing object’s type from the bottom-right parameters panel.

Content

Major features

Support for multiple obstacle heights per class

So far it was possible to select multiple competition classes, but only one obstacle height for all classes was supported. Now it is possible to select different height for each competition class.

When multiple competition classes are selected in the Competition parameters:

Heights can be adjusted on the new Heights tab:

All heights with their corresponding classes will be displayed in the competition table:

Improvements

• Improved cloning and deleting designs from the side panel on an open project:
  • Both cloning and deleting will immediately update the list of designs in the panel.
  • After a design is deleted, the next (or previous when there is no next) design from the list will be opened.
  • When all designs are deleted, the program will exit to Your projects screen.

Fixes

• Fixed a problem when it was not possible to delete forward path from a bi-directional obstacle.
• Fixed a problem when the application crashed when deleting a node pointing at a bi-directional obstacle in a section of the route with only these two obstacles.

Major features

Possibility to rename Events from “Your projects” screen

See the guide Renaming designs and events and watch the video.

Improvements

Confirmation when deleting Events

It is easy to unintentionally destroy multiple designs, so now the removal of an event must be confirmed.

Changed the look of bank obstacle icon

The bank obstacle look was confusing – the new users could assume this is an arrow to be put on top of obstacles. It was changed to be less confusing.
