Version 1.2.19

Version 1.2.19 (07/07/2025)

New Features

Residential Building Features

• Stairs are now intelligently swapped with the nearest adjacent unit when placed at the ends of terminal edges, optimising unit layouts.

• Units distributed along a single-segment spine with a single lift core are now automatically compressed to eliminate gaps and improve space efficiency.

• A single sub-staircore option is now available for residential towers in specific regions, maximising building efficiency.

• Generic building cloning functionality has been added, mirroring the existing feature for residential buildings.

Industrial Building Features

• Sanitary system configuration options have been expanded in the Engineering Config, allowing for more precise control over riser sizing and other criteria.

• Chilled water pipe and riser sizing is now dynamically calculated by the solver, ensuring accurate system design and space allocation.

• Distribution elements are now automatically arranged along the main path, providing a clearer overview of space requirements and coordination with other building elements.

• Sanitary pipe and riser properties, including dimensions based on solver output, are now displayed in the Building Space RHP, enabling accurate system assessment.

• Chilled water pipe and riser properties, including dimensions based on solver output, are now displayed in the Building Space RHP, facilitating accurate system evaluation.

Structural Features

• Pile design now incorporates geotechnical capacity based on user-defined borehole data, resulting in more accurate material estimations and improved structural soundness.

• Users can now input borehole data directly within the Engineering Console, enabling site-specific soil conditions to be considered for more precise pile design.

Site Features

• Existing planning envelopes can now be converted to site boundaries, providing a clearer 3D representation of site limits.

• Volumetric buildings can now be created by replicating build zone geometry, streamlining the building creation process.

• Users can now select planning envelopes and assign development types, enabling additional restrictions and compliance checks.

• Snapping functionality, including all options available in Site Space, has been added to the Spatial Editor for more precise unit editing.

• Landscape zones and lines can now be drawn on top of podiums and generic buildings, enhancing layout design capabilities.

• Multiple planning envelopes can now be added to a site, allowing for better specification of planning constraints for different development types.

• An enhanced project boundary definition process guides users through the required steps, ensuring compliance with boundary requirements.

• Uploaded image and model interaction has been improved, allowing for easier movement and resizing in both Site View and Site Selection.

• The image and model upload feature has been replicated in the Site Creation flow, supporting various file formats.

• A Download tab has been added to Site View for easy access to area schedules, providing comprehensive scenario design information.

• The Area Metrics Report now includes all targets and metrics for each scenario, formatted with an overall breakdown and detailed individual scenario analysis.

Bug Fixes

Residential Building Fixes

• Fixed an issue where ground floor units were not included in the total unit count after updating to Residential Typical.

• Fixed an issue where the greedy algorithm was not correctly distributing units when the spine was 1WD compliant and single-segmented.

• Fixed an issue where airwells were not being added to units based on custom templates.

• Fixed a collision issue between staircases and corridors when hammerhead was enabled.

• Fixed an issue where node selection was not working properly in Resi Beta buildings.

• Fixed an issue where the customized individual story toggle option was not enabled after updating the space function for the ground floor.

• Corrected an issue where some targets were not reflecting in Site View.

• Fixed an issue where the default model was not using all templates in the unit mix.

• Addressed a problem where corridors were sometimes not appearing in front of unit entrances.

• Resolved excessive gaps between units when creating models with a certain unit mix.

• Fixed several issues related to adding hammerhead units.

• Corrected the floor type display for refuge floors, ensuring consistency between the left-hand and right-hand panels.

Industrial Building Fixes

• Fixed an issue where FOH spaces were missing access corridors and larger production units caused L2 routing failures in modular industrial buildings.

• Fixed an issue where sprinkler system routing was not present for buildings taller than 75m.

• Fixed an issue where the air conditioning system was not routed to production units when chillers were placed on the ground.

• Fixed an issue with unit length metrics not matching the geometry for inline units in core flooring bays.

• Fixed an issue where the allocated BOH zone area on the roof did not meet the defined criteria.

• Fixed multiple errors encountered when solving buildings with a single segment.

• Resolved an issue where the \"Spatial equipment generator\" error was displayed when solving models with engineering config updates.

• Addressed an issue where double-loaded buildings with 5 floors remained in the SOLVING state for an extended period.

• Resolved an issue with empty schedules for Transformers, Water-cooled chillers, cooling tower, generators and switchgear.

Structural Fixes

• Added L/d ratio to structural checks for slabs.

• Fixed an issue where changes to target and maximum pile penetration length in the Engineering Config were only applied to ramp piles.

• Resolved an issue in the joist solver affecting Type 8 models with 15m grid spans and large loads.

Site Fixes

• Fixed an issue with site boundary height not being reflected visually.
