Release Notes |
|---|---|---|
| System | Added AT-PAC US | The AT-PAC US scaffolding system has been introduced with all ScaffPlan's tools available for use with the system when selected under Project info |
| System | Added AT-PAC AU | The AT-PAC AU scaffolding system has been introduced with all ScaffPlan's tools available for use with the system when selected under Project info |
| Common | Direct access to profiles wrapped into Item tool available in all intelligent tools |
The convenience of modelling has been significantly enhanced by introducing direct access to the Item tool on any profile selected inside of Bay, Wall Trace, Tank, Bird Cage, Buttress Bay and other intelligent tools. The extra hierarchy level introduced allows direct access to the Item tool user interface, including all features of the Item tool on any selected profile inside the selected tool. Previously, a selected profile in an inserted tool needed to be converted to an Item. A profile inside of a tool can now be specified by selecting the Select Scaffold Items feature on the mini toolbar. Alternatively, multiple profile selection is available by changing the hierarchy level of selection by holding down Shift & scrolling the mouse wheel up. |
| Scaffold Scaffold Item Tool | Add to bay functionality implemented |
Extra modelling flexibility has been introduced, making it possible to add any profile into the Bay inserted by the Item tool over the bay geometry. The feature enhances the intelligence of the bay significantly, allowing included profiles to follow the bay geometry changes in any direction. Copying/Moving/Rotating the bay with profiles included is also supported. |
| Scaffold Bay | Show, detach and remove added profiles from a bay feature released |
Bay intelligence and modelling flexibility have been significantly improved allowing options to show, detach and remove via the bay profiles. It's especially beneficial for modelling when extra profiles are needed to be included in the bay by the Item tool. You can then show which profiles have been inserted, exclude some/all or detach them from the bay. |
| Scaffold Item tool | Change Profile Type introduced contextual toolbar |
It is now significantly faster to switch profile types using the Type drop-down, allowing you to switch between profile types on the fly. Previously, this option was available from the Item tool interface only. |
| Scaffold Item tool | Copy profile properties now available from contextual toolbar |
The feature allows for rapid copying of profile attributes from one to another from the contextual toolbar. Previously, the Get properties and Modify commands needed to be performed from the Item tool user interface. Copy properties from one to another and from one to multiple profiles are also supported. |
| Scaffold Item tool | Sole board steel/timber switch introduced on the contextual toolbar | It's now quick and easy to switch between steel/timber sole boards from the contextual toolbar. This intelligent feature also readjusts jacks and standard heights when changed. |
| Scaffold Bay | Type of sole board control introduced making timber board option available | It is possible to control sole board options from the Bay user interface and contextual toolbar. Timber and steel board options are now available. |
|
Bird Cage Wall Trace Circular Tank Stair Tools |
Type of sole board control introduced adding timber board option |
Extra option for sole boards added allowing to control sole board types from the Bird Cage user interface. Timber and steel board options are available now. |
| Scaffold Bay | Option for auto adjustments of a neighbouring bay introduced on contextual toolbar | It's now possible to quickly access the Neighbour bay adjustment option, which was previously only available from the Bay tool UI only, from the contextual toolbar, allowing for an enhanced user experience and increased modelling speed. |
| Corners | Logic of corner tool refactored | The corners tool now adds extra bays on 2 perimeters without changing the whole perimeter for each line. |
| Scaffold Item Tool | Extra profiles added for Kwikstage |
The following list of profiles has been added to the Item tool for Kwikstage:
|
| Common | Auto switching to Select objects in components depreciated | It is now more convenient to insert other tools connected to bays as there is no longer an auto switch to Select objects in components, and selection always stays as Select Component only on the insertion of tools. |
| Scaffold Bay | Change of contextual toolbar behaviour |
The convenience and speed of modelling have been improved, with only changed settings on the contextual toolbar affecting multiple bays selected. Previously all settings were applied causing inconvenience to modelling. |
| Scaffold Bay | Enhanced lifts creation behaviour on height change from contextual toolbar |
The behaviour of the height change from the mini toolbar has been improved. If the height of the top working platform has been modified, any lifts with no platforms will stay as was originally set by the user. Previously, platforms were always recreated. |
|
Wall Trace Circular Tank |
Remove profiles from lapping bays using contextual toolbar now supported | It is possible now to remove profiles from lapping bays using the contextual toolbar. |
| Scaffold Item Tool | Mirror option for AT-PAC stringers has been included on contextual toolbar | The feature offers a fast way to change AT-PAC stringers from one side to another after insertion. |
| Common | Current System Button introduced | It is possible to check which scaffolding system is currently in use. This is especially beneficial for models with multiple scaffolding systems being used simultaneously in different areas. |
