  • Responsible for the visibility of elements in 3D view (applies to elements in the scope Underlay (IFC) and Construction, which have the Visible field in Data table)
  • They improve the ergonomics of hiding IFC elements, which are not to be later interpreted into native elements of the structure
  • They have been added as default functions under the right mouse button (Popup menu) and have hotkeys assigned by default
• Improved operation of Generate schematic view algorithm for direction of generated branches

  • The newly created room can be further modified, including changing its shape, position, division or deletion
  • The spaces created in this way can be further used to generate structural partitions using the Automatic walls, ceilings and roofs function as an alternative (or supporting) path for obtaining thermal partitions based on the interpretation of structural elements from the IFC file
• New search criteria for the Search window - Underlay scope:
  • Invisible (inactive/hidden) - allows you to select and display IFC elements that have been hidden and thus are not subject to interpretation
  • Top surface greater than - a criterion that facilitates finding ifcSlab, ifcRoof elements that can define storeys when using the function: Create storeys between selected slabs/roofs from IFC file
• Correction of wall geometry - Correct wall connections removes self-contained walls, which may result from defining walls that contain one another in the IFC model and their subsequent interpretation in the program to native elements such as Wall / Curtain wall

If it is not possible to obtain the required differential pressure from the type indicated in the data, the program tries to select a successor
• In the general data: Distribution system / Types and default data, declare the default type of manifold, which will be taken for the double manifolds inserted into the range Convectional.

• A connection point between pipe-runs is named Junction and has its own data table specifying how it is implemented (built of available fittings)
• A Junction can have an inserted label. The label can show the fittings which form the connection
• The fittings selected in Junction elements can, if correctly selected, be visualised in the model or in a projection, in a simplified or natural way. This requires the use of an adapted catalogue of pipes and fittings, with extended information on the dimensions of the fittings. Such catalogues are highlighted by a special icon when selecting catalogues for the project. The visualisation is activated in the project general data: Component appearance configuration Drawing options (watch the movie)
• In the label of a Pipe-run element, the ordinate at the point of the label can be presented. The value presented depends on the label insertion point on the pipe-run, which is important because of the occurrence of pipe-runs gradients. The ordinates and distances from the floor for the start and end point of the pipe-run are also available
• The field Maximum gradient has been added to the data table of the <Pipe-run> element. In "Auto" mode it is taken from the general project data. By changing it individually for selected pipe-runs, it is possible to avoid the short vertical sections generated in some places while maintaining a single maximum gradient
• Element Stack added to Project Viewer module
• Clearer and supplemented with arguments (e.g. value of required angle) messages about missing (not sized) elements of the junctions
• Data of the element Stack, changed in the data table before its insertion, becomes automatically the default data of each following one
• New element Connection of other drainage installation allows faster creation and recalculation of large projects with repetitive plumbing blocks (but their components are not included in the bill of materials)
• The Stack element in the Drainage , Drainage ventilation configuration has the possibility of automatically generating pipe-runs which form the structure of a parallel ventilation: connectors between the drainage and ventilation sections, an additional riser on the lowest floors, etc. The necessary geometrical parameters must be defined in the stack data table. This function requires the connection of the stack to the waste water network and the connection of the sanitary appliances. This feature is in Beta stage and will be further developed  (watch the movie)
• New functions Copy selected elements to multiple storeys above and Copy selected elements to multiple storeys below (watch the movie)
