Version: BIMQ 2.13.6

Date: 2024-12-06

Bug fixes and enhancements

Export of Information Needs Overview: Some parts were always exported in English, regardless of the user's language
PDF report header images are no longer distorted if the aspect ratio did not fit the target ratio
File names of IDS and mvdXL exports now always show the IFC version, actor name and code of the exported phase, if feasible

Version: BIMQ 2.13.5

Date: 2024-11-19

Enhancement

Authentication with OAuth 2.0:

The check of the redirect_uri has been made stricter with BIMQ 2.13.4. This also includes the check of subdomains. However, since example.com and www.example.com are usually regarded as equivalent, the redirect_uri is now accepted with and without the www prefix.

Example: if https://example.com is valid, https://www.example.com is also automatically valid

Version: BIMQ 2.13.4

New

Scoping - A scope can now be set in the project requirements. This is possible for elements & groups. This improves the performance for loading the part selection. This is recommended for particularly complex discipline models.
To do this, you can right-click on the name of the respective entry that you want to select as a subtree and select the “Set a scope” option.

Bug fixes

Some links to the official documentation of buildingSmart did not work correctly. This particularly affected the mapping of IFC 4 ADD 2.

Version: BIMQ 2.13.3

Date: 2024-11-12

New

Common Base Quantities - The use of quantities according to the IFC standard has been simplified. It is now completely sufficient to use the general notation (which is already known from Common Properties), e.g. [QtoBase].Length, which is automatically created in the IFC mapping dialog. If this base quantity is used for a beam in the requirements, for example, the correct assignment to Qto_BeamBaseQuantities is now generated automatically and used for the IDS export and others.
This increases the reusability of templates and reduces multiple definitions of quantities. We will be revising our project templates accordingly in the near future.
Information Needs Overview - A property-centered view is now available as a new report type (also known as the dot list, see figure below). This can be configured under Documentation / Report / Excel. This is the first version - which will be expanded in the future. This compact overview is also supported by an auto-filter setup.

Figure: dot list

Bug fixes

When resolving IFC definitions, invalid user definition properties were not recognized correctly. (Example: #.IsAGreatProperty is now marked as invalid when no property set was defined).
Ordering of phase-use-case-combinations in tab Mass Assignment is now consistent to the requirements view.

Version: BIMQ 2.13.2

Date: 2024-11-07
