General:
BIM | Adjusting the Filter Order
The order of the model filters can be moved and rearranged. This allows for more flexible customization of the filter logic without having to delete and re-enter existing settings.
For detailed information about the model filter, see the following article: Filter & Search Models
BIM | Aligning a View with a Section
The view can be aligned with the cross-section using "Focus" or by double-clicking. This allows the model to be displayed to scale in the 2d view, for example.
For detailed information on model editing, see the following article: Editing & Opening Models
BIM | Displaying Measurements in Model Sections
The measurements are now also displayed in model sections.
For detailed information on creating model sections, see the following article: Creating Model Sections
BIM | Display of Groupings
It is now possible to display groupings in models that are defined using IfcGroup. Groups are used to organize model elements independently of the hierarchical structure. This simplifies the structuring of the model and allows for a customized organization without altering the existing hierarchy.
For more information on the structure of models, see the following article: Editing Models, Objects, and Types
BIM | Adjusting Panel Size
In the model viewer, you can adjust the size of the panel. This makes long names and deep model structures fully visible, which improves clarity and navigation within the model.
Documents | Signing PDFs with Skribble
Skribble is a program for creating and distributing digital signatures. Documents from buildagil can be sent directly to Skribble and signed there.
For detailed information on how to activate and use Skribble in buildagil, see the following article: Signing with Skribble
Documents | Overwriting Documents
When a file is uploaded, moved, or copied and this would replace an existing file, you can choose whether to keep both documents or to overwrite the existing file. This way, both documents can be preserved.
For detailed information on the version history of documents, see the following article: Document Version History
Documents | Restoring Visibility Inheritance
A folder's visibility can be reset to its original settings. When this reset is performed, the folder reverts to its previous visibility settings. The settings for subfolders remain unchanged. Top-level folders cannot be reset. These changes can only be made by project administrators or project coordinators who created the folder themselves. This makes it easy to undo changes to the folder structure.
For detailed information on inheriting visibility settings for folders and documents, see the following article: Visibility Settings for Folders & Documents
Documents | Viewer Optimization
The performance and display of the document viewer have been optimized. Thanks to the improved display, significantly more space is now available for viewing documents on all devices.
General | Optimizing Project Settings
The project settings have been revised and optimized in terms of their appearance and usability.
For detailed information about project settings, see the following article: Project settings
General | Filter the project list by project location
It is now possible to filter projects on the home page by project location. This makes it easier to search for specific projects.
For more information about the personal home, see the following article: Personal Home Page
