Feature |
Release Notes |
|---|---|---|
| System | At-Pac EU has been added | The AT-PAC EU scaffolding system has been introduced, with all ScaffPlan tools being updated and working with AT-PAC EU as soon as the system is chosen under Project info |
| Buttress Bay | Buttress Bay has been implemented | Buttress Bay tool has been introduced, allowing users to model the full buttress bay(s) in one go with all profiles generated by specifying the maximum number of bays to be generated. It also supports direct modification features. The tool recognises the configuration of the main bay it's attached to and adaptively reacts to the main bay geometry changes. Additionally, if the main bay has been copied many times the buttress bay will be correspondingly copied with no clashes |
| Scaffold Item | Added Flex Beam scaffold components | FlexBeam Layher system profiles has been introduced for U-Layher system under the Scaffold Item tool, allowing users to model FlexBeam Layher system using the Scaffold Item tool |
| Scaffold Item | It's possible to copy to another object multiple times | The speed of copying profiles multiple times (from profile to profile) has been significantly improved by the introduction of the ability to copy objects by specified number using the contextual toolbar for Scaffold Item tool copying from profile to profile in any direction |
|
Scaffold Bay Wall Trace Birdcage Circular Tank |
Added an option to create a bay(s) without decking | An option for the creation of a bay without decking has been introduced for the Scaffold bay, Wall trace, Birdcage and Circular tank tools - all platforms at lifts can now be removed |
| Scaffold Item | Planks are now created with skew decking / Planks now can be created when decking is on different elevations (max difference is 5deg) | Extra flexibility options for covering gaps in between bays has been added to the Scaffold Item tool. Planks with input options available in the contextual toolbar for decking profiles and console brackets provide the ability to generate planks to cover gaps in between bays (elevations under 5 degrees also supported). The option also allows users to create planks for non-perpendicular cases (non-parallel bays) by specifying the direction of insertion (angle) and distance (range) the planks will be distributed in the model |
| Lapping bay | Implemented lapping bay at inner corner | Users can create a lapping bay at the inner corner for 2 perpendicular bays. The option is available when the Outer Guardrail option is set to "Tube (at corners)" at a corner bay, and the Lapping bay the being inserted |
| Environment | Added "standard" settings per system | “Standard" scaffolding system-specific settings (default values of a tool) for all tools have been introduced allowing users to load default values of a tool at any stage of modelling |
| Environment | Save/Load drop-down will now load settings only from current system | Now tool settings are scaffolding system-specific allowing to save and load saved values of a tool from the current scaffolding system in use at the tool settings drop-down list at any stage of modelling |
| Environment | Change currently loaded settings to italic when any field changed | Now while working with a tool user experience has been enhanced changing the saved tool setting font to italic style as soon as any value in the tool is set to any other value which is not matching with previously saved setting |
| Visibility | Improved automatic view box update – it will now update automatically only if one view is visible, otherwise for selected views | The work area behaviour has been improved by automatically adjusting the work area of selected view(s), making the full perimeter of the scaffold visible in the work area on the change of height of the top working platform/insertion of a tool outside of the work area |
| Scaffold Item | Improved smart copy to include also parts created by ScaffPlan other that scaffold items (ie. encapsulation) | Smart copy command also supports objects which have not been created by the Scaffold Item tool (i.e.. encapsulation) |
| Scaffold Item | Added mirror option to couplers | Mirror couplers in one go using the contextual toolbar for the Scaffold Item tool |
|
Scaffold Bay Wall Trace Circular tank |
Implemented inner guardrails with inner console | Guardrail creation has been improved, with inner guardrails able to be created on the bay side when a console bracket is on |
