3D Zone

We have made significant improvements to performance and usability:

• Much faster to select 3D Zones in Filter Elements and Write Parameters tools
• Added a progress bar with Cancel option that is visible on all tools where you select a 3D Zone in Filter Elements and Write Parameters tools
• Filter Elements, Write Parameters and Write All tools now give same result for selected 3D Zone
• Write Parameters start much faster since no 3D Zone is selected at startup. It is also much faster to select 3D Zone in the tool
• Create 3D Zones from Floors. The tool now supports creating 3D Zones from Scope Boxes, Filled Regions and Floors; the option to create from Lines are removed.
• Increased stability with 3D Zones containing circle and ellipse elements
• Improved input validation to avoid creating improper 3D Zones

Family Browser

You can now update the project with a newer version of a family on disk using the “Load Family” option from the right click menu.

Filter Elements

We have made improvements regarding the default settings when starting the tool. Now “Elements in View” is default and no Categories are selected when starting the tool. The Settings combo box show <Select setting>. Either configure what to filter or:

• Select <In Session> setting to get the setting you had last time you used Filter Elements and pressed Close button
• Select any of the <Recent Filter X> settings that are automatically saved when clicking on Select Elements button (the last five settings are saved)

• You can include a Count column that display the number of instances of the type in the view/sheet
