Additional Information:
BIM | Optimizing Model Tasks and Sections
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 associated objects are not currently displayed.
For more information on the model tasks, see the following article: Creating and Viewing BCF/Model Tasks.
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 quick 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.
Journal | Data Entry via Voice Input
Journal entries can now be entered via voice input. By tapping the microphone icon, information such as title, classification, categories, description, involved company, responsible party, 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.
For more information, see the following article: Process Automation with Power Automate.
Tools & Interfaces | Customizing the Base URL for the openCDE API
To allow for more flexible future extensions of the openCDE API, the base URL has been changed from https://api.buildagil.com to https://openapi.buildagil.com. As a result, new endpoints are now accessible via https://openapi.buildagil.com/1.0/... instead of https://api.buildagil.com/bcf/3.0/.... This makes the transition possible with minimal effort. The existing base URL will remain active until December 31, 2026, and will no longer be developed further.
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 can be viewed by expanding the 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.
