2020 April Release

Release notes as published on app.verifi3d.com on April 15th 2020.

What's New

• Filter Manager
  • Filter sets, filter groups and filter items can be created with the filter manager.
  • When you click "eye" icon of a filter item, the filter item will be applied to the model. The filtered elements will be isolated and coloured in the 3D viewer.
  • The filtered elements will be counted.
  • When you click "save" the filters will be stored in a model.
• Element Browser
  • List of elements can now be grouped by "IFC Structure", which contains building storeys.
  • The Element Browser user interface is improved. You can now resize the dialog.
  • The selection mechanism; when you (multi) select (ctrl/shift) elements in the element browser, these elements will be shown in the 3D viewer.
  • The search box is working again.
• Property checks can now be selected in the rule manager.
• V3D files generated by the Revit Exporter plug-in and uploaded to Verifi3D are now being stored to the user account.
• Mouse wheel settings are now stored to the user database.
• The XYZ lines are now deleted from the mouse pointer, and are moved to the navigation cube in the top right.
• Objects are selectable when in section box / crop view mode.

Bug Fixes and improvements

• RAM memory optimisations to prevent the "WebGL out of memory" issue when loading models.
  • When loading an IFC model, the average memory file size increase is factor 12. This was factor 20.
    This means, loading a 15 MB IFC file results in 190 MB ram memory increase. This was 300 MB.
  • The garbage collection is improved; when loading an IFC model again time, the memory increase is reduced.
• Logging out to Verifi3D resulted in a JavaScript error.
• Forgot Password can now be properly requested.
• Centering the camera (fit model to view) is improved, so that the model is always shown in the 3D viewer.
• The colour did not get updated to green/red when selecting an object/filter and then running a property check.
• Function renaming; section box, element properties, settings.
• An element is not being selected when rotating the model.

Known Issues

• The search box does not work when using the "group by IFC structure" in the Element Browser.
• When renaming a filter item, or changing its colour, the filter manager does not get updated. You can work around this by deleting the filter item, and select "add existing".

These issues will be solved and published as hot-fixes soon.
