⚡ Key Features & Capabilities

 

????️ Outfitting / 3D Plant Design

  • Circular Duct Routing with on-the-fly size definition and gasket support for flanged connections

  • Hull Markings on Cutting Data – Outfitting parts welded to hull plates can be marked directly on DXF cutting files for easier installation

  • Improved Cable Router – Displays route change percentage, maintains fill rates, auto‑repairs broken cables when routes become available

  • Pipe Support Alignment – “Follow pipe” command automatically aligns supports regardless of nominal size or type

???? Hull Design

  • View Cube – Modern 3D navigation tool for easy viewpoint switching, even with obstructed views

  • Jumbo Panels (BETA) – Split large plates into sub‑plates with varied thicknesses and materials using seams

⚡ Electrical Design

  • LED Strip Tool – Create LED strips as devices in 2D/3D, fully functional like any light fixture

  • EDZ Import (EPLAN) – Direct import of manufacturer EDZ files with full product specifications, symbols, images, and manuals

  • DIALux evo Integration – Export spaces for lighting calculations and import IFC files with fixture data

  • User Wire Markings – Define custom wire markings (lines, boxes, hatches) as defaults

???? Draw (2D CAD)

  • Customizable Ribbon – Create user‑specific tabs; copy or create new functions; share tabs across users

  • IFC4 Improvements – Enhanced import/export with missing element types added

  • RGB Background Colors – Full RGB color support for drawing background

???? Information Management & Collaboration

  • Collision Detection in eShare – Tabular results, saved tests, changeable statuses, markups, Excel export

  • AI Label Detection in Point Clouds – Auto‑detect labels from point clouds; generate Smart Points with preview

  • Orthographic Projection – Preserves distances (2D‑like viewing) in eBrowser, eGo, and eShare

  • Grid Line Visualization – Show reference coordinate grids for easier measurements
