BONUS TOOLS

3D Modeling
Normal vectors are calculated correctly when you enter 3D boxes freely in isometric views

Smart Symbols
Smart symbols of which resources are missing are displayed again when you switch between drawing files

Scan
Scanned images inserted in the background remain there when you draw new elements

Improved process of creating dormers and roof covering that stretch to the ridge

Wall, Openings, Components
Improved process of moving architectural openings in associative views
Round columns are calculated correctly in conjunction with large coordinates
Program no longer crashes when you change the height of architectural elements with special data using the “change Archit. Properties” tool
Sections of walls are deleted correctly in conjunction with symbol fixtures

Quantity Takeoff
Processes of analyzing and evaluating components and rooms with special data have been improved

Stair
Stair labels can be created in foot/inch again


PRESENTATION

Animation
Improved process of exporting walls from “Animation Window – Selected Elements” to CINEMA 4D
Improved display of smart symbols placed in animation windows several times
Surfaces are displayed correctly in animation windows, even when you work with very complex geometries
Smart window and door symbols in animation windows and hidden line images no longer take the floor structure into account


ENGINEERING

Bar Reinforcement

Schemas are combined correctly into entity groups, regardless of how they were created
Bending schedules can be created more quickly across several active drawing files with large volumes of data
Process of changing layers of reinforcement with the ‘From layer’ property no longer affects leaders
Elements in wizards are ignored when you assign a new mark number in a drawing file
Stirrups expand correctly even at sloping shell edges
Bars displayed are not included when you convert elements to pattern lines
Element lengths displayed for a mark, which you have created by combining arcs, and the length in the label match
Process of fixing corrupt data from earlier versions has been improved
Large volumes of data (bar reinforcement) can be copied more quickly via the Clipboard
Bar reinforcement can be copied across documents specifying region after region to the same drawing file
Process of updating associative legends across several drawing files has been improved

Mesh Reinforcement

3D Area Reinforcement
Improved performance in conjunction with complex area reinforcement
Area reinforcement can be adopted correctly
Improved display of area reinforcement after positioning dimension lines using filter

Precast Concrete Factories
Element Plan: Improved display of section object with clipping path in plan view


VIEWS, DETAILS

Shell
Improved processes of copying and pasting elements via the Clipboard
When you change the number off value in a section using the “Modify Placement” tool, leaders update correctly in all sections
Process of deleting multiple elements in views and sections has been improved

Associative Views
Associative views are displayed correctly when you zoom in detailing windows
Direction of a section is displayed correctly when you define the viewing direction in plan and the clipping area in a view
Improved handling of views when you disable the “Allow creation on a cross-file basis” option
Improved handling of group display in associative views
Associative views in wizards are ignored when you create elements in a drawing file
Drawing files with associative views are loaded more quickly
New 3D elements created within the section object update automatically in all sections when you have enabled the corresponding option
Drawing files open in reference mode are handled correctly when you create sections
Process of restoring deleted elements has been improved when you work on a cross-file basis
Hiding the section object no longer affects the way other sections are displayed
Section objects can be copied in associative sections with elevation dimensioning and axis grids
When working on a cross-file basis, you can use the Clipboard to copy associative sections in drawing files open in edit mode
Improved text in “Associative Views Options” dialog box
When you do not work on a cross-file basis, the program creates a common view for the entire reinforcement. However, only one geometrically associated reinforcement view is used when you copy the shell view for subsequent use.
Size of section object is created correctly in conjunction with sloping walls
Reinforcement elements placed in series using the “Align” option are created correctly and can be selected individually
The “Height of section object based on intersected elements” option only serves as an aid when you create a section. The setting of this option has no other effects on the section created.
