Release Notes for simplebim 5.0
In This Topic
Simplebim 5.0 (27.11.2015)
New Features
- Model Merging. You can now merge multiple models into one and export the merged model back to IFC
- Instead of the typical 'overlay' of multiple models, Simplebim allows you to merge the containment structures, groups, type objects and other resources, resulting in a true merged model.
- You can also position the merged models relative to each other using the new Model Placement workspace
- Importing and exporting IFC4 files
- New Value Combiner workspace. You can now create property values by combining values from other properties of the same object class.
- New Group Editor workspace. Easily visualize, edit and create IFC type objects and groups, such as system and zones.
Enhancements
- Faster IFC import and export
- Improved quantities using the Basic Quantities tool
- Improved Quick Select in 3D palette. We added for example the Model -quick select for selecting all objects from the same model as the picked object.
- New clean look and feel in the user interface
- New set of Getting Started Video tutorials
- Unified installer for 64 and 32bit versions
Bug Fixes
- If buildings or building storeys have a geometry of their own this geometry is now shown in the 3D window.
- Bug fixed in setting the model unit using a template
- Bug fixed in copying value to the clipboard from the Properties Palette when the palette is showing an object group or an ad-hoc collection of objects.
- Bug fixed in deleting child groups, i.e. groups that are members of another group.
