Tasks & topics:
Start & Navigation | Show previous news posts
It is now possible to display previous new posts and search through them in the list. This means that older entries remain accessible at all times.
You can find further information on the news articles in the following article: News articles.
Start & Navigation | Optimization window navigation
The window navigation has been optimized so that the windows can be opened in a compact display by clicking on the minimized navigation. This means that the display takes up less space on mobile devices, among other things, while still offering the same functionality.
You can find further information on window navigation in the following article: Window navigation.
Project settings | File naming conventions
File naming conventions allow files in the project to be named consistently and comprehensibly. They create a clear structure and enable the automatic review of file names. Compliance with the specifications is checked automatically. Deviations are detected and flagged by the system. This reduces manual corrections and creates a reliable basis for further processing. The file naming conventions can be defined by a project administrator in the Project settings.
Conventions can be defined project-wide for specific folders or file types. Configuration is carried out flexibly using modules such as free text, selection lists and fixed or variable number and text elements. Even complex requirements can be mapped using regular expressions. Further information on setting up file naming conventions can be found in the following article: Configuring file naming conventions.
After entering or adapting a convention or file name, the system automatically recognizes all affected files. Depending on the case, these are marked as "obsolete" or "invalid". This gives project administrators a clear overview and allows them to filter specifically for these files. Further information on the behavior of file naming conventions in the documents can be found in the following article: Use of file naming conventions.
Planning | Optimized presentation of milestones
The layout for creating and editing milestones has been optimized. Entries can now be made more clearly so that milestones can be entered and adjusted even more easily.
You can find more information on task planning in the following article: Task planning.
BIM | Model editing with Archicad
With the Archicad app, project content such as Model tasks, documents and other elements from buildagil can be displayed and edited in Archicad. The model sections from the tasks can also be opened directly in Archicad. This eliminates the need to manually search for the correct view and allows changes to be made to the model efficiently.
Models saved in buildagil can be opened directly from the document area in the Archicad app. Via the App, personal homes, tasks, projects & favorites are also available. Via the OneDrive synchronization, changed IFC and PDF files can be saved directly back into buildagil.
You can find further information on model editing with Archicad in the following article: Model editing with Archicad.
Tasks & topics | Optimizing the layout
The layout for creating topics, decisions and information has been optimized. This lays the foundation for further optimization of these elements.
Further information on tasks & topics can be found in the following article: Overview of tasks & topics.
