Activate the Preview Version

The preview version provides access to the new features of buildagil. These features are in the final testing phase before their general release. By activating the preview version, you can start using these features right away.


Since this is a preview version, buildagil may not behave as expected, or roles may change before the general release. You can disable the preview version at any time.


To activate the preview version, click on the "profile picture" and then on "Preview."

Additional Information:


BIM | Optimizing Model Assemblies with Plans

Model assemblies that contain only plans have been optimized for drawing-based task management, such as on a construction site or in quality assurance. Model tasks and journal entries can be located directly within the plan without requiring a model. To achieve this, the plan is initially converted into a model when added, enabling the spatial placement of elements. If a model assembly contains only plans, it opens automatically in 2D and Top View. Manually switching the view is therefore no longer necessary. When focusing on a plan by double-clicking on the plan itself or in the object structure, it is automatically focused in the top view.



In the Object Explorer, models and plans can now be isolated directly with a single click. Previously, this was only possible through the Options menu.



For more information, see the following articles: Model Assemblies & Editing and Overlaying Plans and Models.


BIM | Automatic View Generation

In the Model Viewer, new views can now be automatically created and loaded using artificial intelligence (AI) based on a prompt. This is useful for a quick, spontaneous evaluation of the model—for example, to perform a review of individual attributes or groups of elements on the fly without having to use the filter. The view can then be saved as well.



For more information about model views, see the following article: Model Views.


BIM | Optimizing Model Tasks and Views

Task markers in the model will now remain visible even after the "Tasks & Journal Entries" panel is closed.



When objects are hidden, task markers outside the bounding box of the visible objects are now displayed as new transparent objects rather than full color objects. This ensures that the positions of other tasks in the model remain visible, even if the corresponding objects are not currently displayed.



For more information on the model tasks, see the following article: Creating and Viewing BCF and Model Tasks.


BIM | Marking the Survey Point in Views

When creating tasks or journal entries in the model and when copying views, the capture point in the view is now new and clearly marked with a pin. This makes it immediately apparent in the view where in the model the model task is located.



For more information, see the following article: Creating and Viewing BCF and Model Tasks.


Journal | Data Entry via Voice Input

New journal entries can now be entered via voice input. By clicking the microphone icon, information such as title, classification, categories, description, involved company, responsibility, or due date is automatically assigned to the corresponding fields using artificial intelligence (AI). Existing information—for example, that entered via a Template—is supplemented rather than overwritten, unless explicitly stated otherwise. If the responsible person is recognized, the associated company is also automatically filled in. Multiple voice recordings can be made in succession, with the information already captured being taken into account each time.



In the Mobile App, you can also record a voice memo as part of the description. This allows for offline data entry on the construction site, since the voice memo can be transcribed at a later time. The transcript can then be applied either just to the description or to the entire journal entry.



For more information, see the following article: Recording Journal Entries via Voice Input.


Tools & Interfaces | Process Automation with Power Automate

buildagil can now be connected to Microsoft Power Automate in a new way. This connection enables the automation of workflows within buildagil as well as between buildagil and third-party systems, without requiring any programming knowledge. Flows can react to changes in buildagil in real time as they occur. Additionally, actions can be performed within buildagil, such as creating or updating tasks and documents. Typical use cases include automatically moving documents based on their status, automatically categorizing items based on their content, or forwarding information to third-party systems when items are created or modified in buildagil. The available triggers and actions correspond to the capabilities of the buildagil openCDE API. For more information, see the following article: Buildagil openCDE API.

Tools & Interfaces | Global Search via the openCDE API

A new global search with filtering is now available via the buildagil openCDE API. This allows you to perform targeted searches for content in buildagil and reuse the results in your own applications or analyses. For more information on the buildagil openCDE API, see the following article: Buildagil openCDE API.


Tools & Interfaces | Customizing the Server URL for the openCDE API

To allow for more flexible future extensions of the openCDE API, the server URL has been changed from https://api.buildagil.com to https://openapi.buildagil.com. As a result, the following has changed:

The previous server URL and endpoints will remain active until December 31, 2026. For more information about the openCDE API, see the following article: OpenCDE API.


More | Revised Revision History

To make it easier to track changes to elements, the change history has been revised and is now available in a standardized format for all elements.




Each entry corresponds to a change made to a field and shows the person who edited the field, the field affected, and the date and time. The details of a change are visible in the expandable entry. Using the controls in the upper right corner, you can expand or collapse all entries or just the entries for a specific field (e.g., Description).




For more information, see the following article: Change History.


More | Linking Templates

You can copy a direct link to a template from its Options menu. This simplifies the management and development of templates, especially when cross-project or company-wide templates need to be referenced centrally—for example, by including the link in a task. When you open the copied link, the corresponding template opens directly in edit mode.



For more information, see the following articles: Templates for Tasks & Topics, Templates for Journal Entries and Templates for Controls & Inspections.
