General

  • Symetri branding of the template.
  • IFC schedules are included in the template and used when working with IFC-models.
  • Dense compartmentation schedules can be used to easily locate where values have been missed when using the functionality "Dense compartments".
  • Added Parameters on Wall compartmentation and Opening requirement families for the Type name, Type mark, and Level from linked objects.
  • General update of dialogue boxes information texts.
  • Added additional families to BFT template.
  • Fire_ColumnReq family with Fire_Structural template in all regions.
  • Added new parameters to BFT template such as FireReq_DoorOpener, FireReq_AccessRoute...
  • Added an evacuation plan view type for easy creation of evacuation views.
  • The text in Fire_EvacuationRouteDirection family automatically hides in Detail Level: Fine.
  • Updated Unconnected filter to show components with no data in Fire_GUID.
  • Updated Modified&Deleted filters to include elements where wall height / wall type has changed.
  • Removed all parameters which didn't start with "FireReq", except IFC parameters.
  • Removed Fire_SplitWall, and now only rely on FireReq_Split wall parameter on compartmentations.
  • Added a Floor space factor key schedule in UK template, choose the kind of accommodation on spaces under Identity Data - FireReq_TypeOfAccommodation. Values are taken from "The Building Regulations 2010", approved documents.
  • Changed Grouping for Reaction to Fire parameters from Fire Protection to Material and finishes. 
  • Updated Swedish line style for wall compartmentations to match the latest requirements.
  • Added FireReq_Temperature to Swedish Compartmentations EI family, for archives.
  • Moved the Egress width factor, and occupant load factor to grouping Data instead of Fire Protection.
  • Changed default space height to 2500mm.
  • Added several view templates in the UK template to showcase Occupant load, Facade, Compartmentation Reference, Emergency lightning, and Evacuation Zones.
  • In the UK template FireReq_EvacuationRoute has been changed to FireReq_EvacuationZone.
  • FireReq_CompartmentationFunctionality has been updated from a project parameter to Shared parameter
  • Added Project Information Parameter "Site Name", "Site Long name", "Site description" and "Site Object Type". Makes it possible to change Site name in the IFC.
  • FireReq_CompartmentationFunctionality in the UK template has been changed to FireReq_AccomodationFunction
  • Fire_TypeOfAccommadation key schedule has been connected to spaces, making it easier to add Occupant load factor values, choose "none" to enter manually the value.
  • Added Parameter: FireReq_SmokeExtract to Fire_SmokeVent in the UK template, this was accompanied by a text on the floor plan for easier QA. Possibility to turn the text off as a Type parameter.
  • Moved Fire_GUID from grouping Fire Protection to General, due to clutter in some components, this will lead to better readability.
  • Changed "grouping category" from HVAC to Pier, this to not clutter HVAC components if used in FSE model.

  • Work views view type now doesn't automatically attach the view template to the views, to make it easier to create custom views.
  • Added Compartmentation Reference view type to create compartments with color schemes for an easier workflow.
  • Changed SubBrowser from 99-0 Control to 01 Control.
  • Added to show all objects (that have not been changed) in the Modified&Deleted as greyed & half-toned.
  • Stream-lined space tags between all templates, only including two different. One for Reaction to Fire, and one for Compartentation Ref, Area, Occupant Load & Egress width.
  • Set new default tags, sheets, and view titles.
  • External Fire Spread family in the UK template has been rebranded BETA in wait for an improved component.
