In This Topic
Simplebim 8.0 SR1 (11.7.2019)
Enhancements
- Properties Palette: Keyboard shortcuts added for Clear (Ctrl+Del), Expand All (Ctrl+Down) and Collapse All (Ctrl+Up)
- Translation: minor translation improvements
Bug Fixes
- 3D Palette: bug fixed in displaying some models that contain grids. Under special circumstances some objects were missing from the 3D view, but this had no effect on the data exported from Simplebim.
- Startup Screen: bug fixed in installing templates by dragging & dropping them on the + icon in the IFC Import toolbar.
- License: bug fixed activating a rental license where the original expiry date had passed, but the rental had been renewed.
- IFC Export: The 'Optimized Shared Geometries' IFC export option is temporarily disabled, because using this option could lead to the geometry of some objects missing from the exported IFC file. This option will be enabled again when the bug is fixed.
