The loading times and performance for viewing models and point clouds in the model viewer have been greatly optimized. The processing and display of complex geometries has also been improved.
To view existing models with our improved processing, you can click on Update model under Models in older models.
The Navigation optimization can be used to adjust the performance of the model viewer as required (e.g. For lower computing power or very large models).
Moving the slider to the right results in smoother navigation. As a result, certain elements may be hidden or displayed in a lower quality during navigation.
The e57 point cloud format can now be viewed with the model viewer and used in model compilations (e.g. With IFC models or other point clouds).
You can find detailed information on our model viewer in the following article: Open & edit models
To display additional options for an element in the mobile app, you can press and hold on an element in addition to the three dots (...).
This role can be helpful when opening projects or editing documents, for example.
The first version of the BCF API and the Documents API are now available. Tasks, documents and other information can be exchanged automatically and in a standardized way between buildagil and third-party systems via this interface.
The connection of further third-party systems to buildagil (e.g. Solibri) will follow gradually. For further information on the interfaces and support for a specific connection / implementation, please contact our Support.
Mac users have the new option of exporting a contact list in CSV format. This is possible via the Export list as CSV role. For Windows users, Excel synchronization is still available. Further information can be found in the following article:
Export contacts as Excel
When opening links to documents and models that have been sent by e-mail, for example, the new feature automatically opens the corresponding viewer on buildagil. For example, when a link to a model is opened, the model viewer opens automatically.
