  • The new Prefix for layers option allows to give an individual prefix to layers created by InstalSystem 5 and exported to DWG format
  • Possibility to choose the option Export labels as blocks or Export labels as basic elements for drawings exported to DWG / DXF format
  • The exported drawings to the dwg / dxf formats contain all the graphics. Elements such as LogoStructure cross section drawingManifold tableMixer / control unit chart are currently not exported to separate files when exporting
IFC interpretacja danych budynku

IFC (BIM) building data interpretation

  • Support for import and interpretation of Curtain Wall element (see more Base module) (watch the movie)
  • Optimizing the interpretation of IFC elements to native InstalSoft elements:
    • Improved interpretation (Creates walls from an IFC file function)
    • Improved interpretation (Creates roofs from an IFC file function)
    • Support for interpretation (Creates windows, doors, and wall openings from an IFC file function) of the Roof window element
    • Diagnostics of ifcWall diamond-shaped interpretation, the Diagnostics window indicates elements that have not been interpreted

IFC (BIM) building structure elements export / IFC (BIM) heating/cooling system export / IFC (BIM) tap water system export

  • Support for exporting the Curtain Wall element (see more Base module) (watch the movie)
  • Parameterization of the IFC4 export of pipe-run(s) from the scope Heating systemsCooling systemsWater supply systems. The Pipe-run element is exported together with:
    • Technical parameters
    • Catalogue code element
    • Calculation parameters
  • Added the filtering condition for the export of elements to IFC4 in the IFC file export - Elements layers window:
    • Automatic selection / deselection of elements that are common to another scope of the project
    • Depending on the configuration of the license for precise control of the actually exported items
  • Optimization of the result files for the selected Export labels to IFC file function
