New geometry engine, 3D viewer, and other improvements

Erik A HeggstadCustomer Success Manager

Hi,

We've shipped a few updates we think you'll like.

New geometry engine
We've built our own geometry engine, which gives you access to quantities calculated by us — things like triangle count per element, length, width and height. It also makes IFC import significantly faster, and speeds up IFC export as well.

New 3D viewer (IFC)
We've built our own 3D viewer, currently for IFC files only. You can enable it under General by toggling the button. Please note that switching is one-way — once you've moved to the new viewer, you can't go back to the old one. All IFC files will be automatically reloaded so they're parsed with the new engine.

Automation updates
We've made a number of changes to Automation, including the new Dataflow view, which lets you see the flow of your automations visually and follow how data moves through each step.

Raw data export
You can now download the raw CSV files directly from Files.

Settings moved
We've moved all Project Settings out to the main menu/sidebar, so they're easier to find.

We're always working on improvements, and we'd love to hear from you — both feature requests and general feedback are very welcome.
