Simplebim 6.0 SR5 (17.3.2017)

Enhancements

IFC Import: The IFC import now also works with ifcZIP files where the ModifyTime is in an invalid format
Add Min and Max Elevation and Center Point -tool: now also adds 'Elevation from Building Storey' property to the objects. The value is the vertical distance between the level of the building storey containing the object and the bottom elevation of the contained object's geometry.

IFC Export: exporting geometry did not function correctly when the model had been scaled to different units using a template
Property Editor: editing the value of a property that had two values, such that as a result it had only one value, crashed if the editing was completed by clicking on the other value of that property.
IFC Import: the property "Name (material)" marked as read-only because editing this property has no effect on the exported IFC

Template: it was not possible to use substitution if property values were copied from another object through a relationship
Template: the transformation was calculated incorrectly when moving and rotating sites that were originally already rotated
Property Editor: trying to clear property values before a property was selected caused a crash
Containment Editor: clearing the name of a container caused a crash under some circumstances
Properties Palette: sorting properties by category, such as Property Set, could cause a crash
Startup: the order of templates in the startup screen was not always stored correctly between sessions

Templates: added option for copying model information to the objects that are part of a model

Workspace: sometimes workspaces were not saved properly and the result was a blank workspace. The workspace now automatically reverts to the default if blank.
Workspace: resetting a workspace did not work if the workspace had not been saved once before
Containment Palette: renaming containers crashed if the container contained space boundary objects
Properties Palette: editing a property value and confirming the change by clicking on the edited property or another value of the edited property caused a crash
Properties Palette: Container Name and Building Storey Name properties were not updated correctly on contained objects when the container name was edited in the Properties palette
Visualizer Palette: crashed under specific circumstances when applying a template while editing a scheme

Model Placement Editor: user interface for coordinate input and help texts improved

IFC Export: when a wall or slab has openings and consists of building element parts, the openings were exported to the wrong location
Location Editor: only resolving locations without splitting crashed in specific circumstances
Model Placement Editor: some valid values did not validate and were not accepted
Properties Palette: application crashed when a rule based group was shown and the model was changed such that the group no longer contained any objects
3D Palette: there was a bug in displaying some models that are very far from the global origin
Delete Empty Containers Tool: the tool failed if a building element was an empty container (contained only objects that have no geometry) and also had a type object
3D Palette: bugs fixed in the Set Color functionality
BCF Manager: for some models that are very far from the global origin the stored camera positions did not work correctly
3D Palette: for some models that are very far from the global origin the basic views (top, front, left…) did not work correctly

Excel Export: Element assemblies can now be exported to Excel
Excel Export: Progress reporting added to Excel export
Excel Export: Worksheets are now sorted alphabetically and measure values cells are rounded. The rounding is done with a format string and all cell values are still stored with full accuracy

Adding a new building storey in the Containment palette; canceling the operation caused the application to crash
Enrichment sample template; object class was missing
Model splitting; on Windows 10 the application crashed during the splitting operation
Resolving locations; data was unnecessarily removed from element assemblies
IFC export; in a special geometric context the geometry of affected objects was exported incorrectly
IFC export; unsupported type of site geometry caused all objects to be located at the origin of the site
Flatten Contained Geometries Tool: used incorrect geometric representation type name, which caused the import to fail in Solibri
