Resolve slab encounter with stair

Staircase encounters with the slab are not considered in OBD. It would be interesting to be able to adjust them directly in the stair settings so that they are similar to reality when they are built.See image

Parametric Cell does not display drawing symbols correctly

When placing a parametric cell, the preview of the top view symbols is displayed correctly if they are activated in the Building settings. If they are not activated in the Building settings but Named Presentation is activated, the top view and the...

Improve parametric cells for doors and windows

The behavior of parametric cells must be improved in order to replace PCS and BXC to create doors and windows.When modifying a parametric door, strange behavior is observed. If the width is enlarged with the handle, the door is not modified in the...

Unify different parts in each drawing

It would be a good idea if in a drawing you could override part join configurations and create a new configuration for that drawing. For example, join all the walls, pillars, partitions, etc. in a floor plan or only join the walls of the same mate...

Penetrations: Apply Changes / Update Model - Object by Object

The current global 'all or nothing' updates are only useful 5% of the time. For the bulk of the updates a step by step update is required. No engineering team is going to be happy relying on the vendor's algo without the assurance of visual inspec...
