Account Settings

Configure your personal HVAKR account from Settings. Account-level options live on three tabs: User Profile, Preferences, and Integrations. API access tokens, the MCP Server URL, and organization webhooks live on the Developer tab — see the API Overview.

Open Settings > User Profile to manage your identity and sign-in security.

Update your profile:

  • Seat — the HVAKR plan seat you currently hold (read-only). Without a seat you can open projects but not edit them; the badge names the organization admins who can assign you one. HVAKR also emails you when your seat is assigned or removed. A member who has just joined the organization, or who is removed from it, gets no seat notice.
  • Profile Picture — click your avatar to open Upload Profile Picture, select or drop an image, then click Upload. HVAKR scales the image down to fit 256 × 256 pixels; it does not crop it
  • Email — the address you sign in with (read-only)
  • First Name and Last Name
  • Title — for example, Senior Mechanical Engineer

If you sign in with a password, click Change Password to set a new one.

  1. Go to Settings > User Profile
  2. Click Change Password
  3. Enter your current password
  4. Enter your new password, retype it, then click Submit

Accounts that sign in through Google or SSO won’t see this option.

Upload a transparent PNG of your Professional Engineer stamp for each state you’re licensed in, then add one to a report cover page when you generate it.

  1. Go to Settings > User Profile
  2. Under P.E. Stamps, click Add P.E. Stamp (the button reads Add Stamp once you have one)
  3. Choose the State the stamp applies to
  4. Select or drop a PNG with a transparent background as the Stamp Image, then click Upload

Keep one stamp per state — uploading a new stamp for a state you already have replaces it. When you generate a PDF report, check Include P.E. Stamp under Stamps in the Create Export dialog: HVAKR uses the stamp that matches the project’s state (from the project address) and places it on the report cover page.

Add a second sign-in factor for additional security. HVAKR sends the code by text message; it doesn’t support authenticator apps.

  1. Go to Settings > User Profile
  2. Under Multi-Factor Authentication, click Enroll
  3. Enter your phone number and click Send Code
  4. Enter the code you receive by text message, then click Enter

Once enrolled, the section shows Enrolled.

Open Settings > Preferences to customize how HVAKR looks and behaves.

Choose Imperial or Metric for the values shown throughout the app.

Choose System Theme (recommended), Dark Theme, or Light Theme. System Theme follows your operating system’s appearance setting.

Choose how scrolling behaves on the canvas:

  • Zoom Mode — scroll to zoom in and out (“CAD-like”)
  • Scroll Mode — scroll to pan (“web-like”)
  • Tone — sets the writing style HVAKR AI uses in chat responses and generated documents: Default, Concise, Friendly, or Professional
  • Custom Instructions — standing guidance for the AI, up to 2,000 characters, for example “Always cite the section number”

Everything HVAKR notifies you about lands in your Inbox. These switches control which of those also reach you by email:

  • Mention Emails — someone @-mentions you in a comment
  • Project Comment Emails — new comments on projects you are on
  • Organization Invite Emails — someone invites you to an organization while you already belong to another one
  • Project Invite Emails — someone adds you to a project
  • Deadline Emails — a deadline on one of your projects is three days out
  • Export & Report Emails — an export or report you ran finishes
  • Feature Request Emails — a preview of a feature you asked us to build is ready
  • Announcement Emails — important product and company announcements
  • Marketing Emails — product updates, tips, and occasional promotions

Turning one off keeps the notification in your Inbox; it only stops the email.

Seat and billing emails are not on this list. You cannot turn off the seat notice, because a seat change changes what you can do in the app.

Open Settings > Integrations to connect HVAKR to other tools:

  • Claude — click Connect for a step-by-step dialog that adds HVAKR as a custom MCP connector in Claude and creates the access token it needs. See MCP Server for the full connector flow.
  • Revit — download the HVAKR Revit plugin, or view its source on GitHub.
  • Bluebeam and Notion — listed as Coming Soon.

Don’t see an integration you need? Click Request Integration at the bottom of the page.

API access tokens are managed on the Developer tab:

  1. Go to Settings > Developer
  2. Click Create Access Token
  3. Enter a name for the token, then click Create Access Token in the dialog
  4. Copy and save the token from the Save Your Token dialog — you won’t be able to view it again

Tokens never expire — delete a token to revoke it. See the API Overview for how to authenticate requests with your token, and for the MCP Server URL and organization Webhooks that share this tab.
