Naviate Simple BIM 10.0.4 and 10.0.5

Updates in Simple BIM. Highlights includes Enhancements and Fixes.

Enhancements

10.0.5

  • IFC Import: made IFC import more tolerant in cases where there are references to objects that don’t exist in the IFC model.
  • Calculate Properties: added support for creating derived objects for volumes
  • Filters: added support for lists in filters in the Objects, Properties, Containment palettes. List items are separated by the pipe character, for example ‘=Office|Corridor’ in the Properties palette shows only objects where the value of any property is either Office or Corridor.

10.0.4

  • Improved German translation
  • Validation: List of allowed values is now shown in the Properties palette also when the validation is “Must start with one of the Values” or “Must contain one of the Values”. Previously the list was shown only for “Must be one of the Values”.
  • The background color of filters is changed when the filter is active making it easier to realize that a filter is used.

Fixes

10.0.5

  • Templates: disappearing template description bug fixed in startup screen. This bug did not affect the templates, only how their description was displayed in the user interface.
  • Templates: bug fixed in creating groups applying the same template twice when the name of the object class is also a name of an object type in IFC, for example Space.
  • Objects Palette: used to crash when a group was refined using a template and the group was consequently manually cleared.
  • Calculate Properties: bug fixed in calculating the same property for all groups in a group category. Was calculating the property only for the first group in the category.
  • Objects Palette: visibility bug fixed in isolating object group categories in the Objects palette.

10.0.4

  • Model Merge: bug fixed in setting building storey name property value for merged objects. The relationship was ok, but the name was missing.
  • 3D Palette: If a property value was very long creating the 3D tooltip was slow causing performance issues. This is solved by shortening long values to a reasonable length in the 3D tooltip. The full value is still shown in the Properties palette.
  • 3D Palette: selecting objects from 3D was sometimes incorrectly turned off when switching workspace
  • Rule based groups: bug fixed editing groups that use date rules
  • Merge: bug fixed in merging zipped IFC models via drag&drop
  • Object Palette: the text of selected empty objects was not visible because the text color and the background color were the same.
  • Space coverings: bug fixed that caused some weird special cases to fail (the space geometries were so strange that the space coverings would not have been useful in any case)
  • Shadow calculation: bug fixed that caused a ‘protected memory’ exception in some special cases
  • Derived objects: derived objects were not assigned to a model, which caused problems in the Data Table export when using the model timestamp in the export file name, because derived objects had no timestamp.
