Improved PDF compatibility with Bluebeam
We’ve listened to your feedback and addressed a common PDF compatibility issue between SkyCiv and Bluebeam construction software. Précédemment, some users reported that certain PDF reported generated by SkyCiv would not open in Bluebleam, or some text and math calculations were rendered incorrectly. We’ve fixed these issues, ensuring that all PDFs generated by SkyCiv now work with Bluebeam. If you’ve had these issues before, we recommend trying the updated PDFs in Bluebeam again.
Nouveau “Select by Plane” feature in the Structural 3D
Our Structural 3D now includes a powerful new tool: the ‘Select by Plane’ une fonction. Disponible via le menu contextuel, cette fonctionnalité vous permet de définir vous permet de définir un plan en fonction de la sélection actuelle (3 nœuds, 2 les membrures, ou 1 assiette) et sélectionnez automatiquement tous les éléments dans ce plan. Vous pouvez également définir un plan personnalisé pour cette fonction en spécifiant manuellement une liste de nœuds..
Keyboard shortcut for screenshots in the Structural 3D
Prendre des captures d'écran dans Structural 3D est désormais plus rapide grâce à notre nouveau raccourci clavier. Utilisez simplement (Ctrl + 9) pour prendre une capture d'écran de votre vue actuelle. This small but useful addition will hep you quickly document your work and share it with team members.
Improved AISC 360 steel member design calculations
Following an independent review and validation, we’ve improved the calculations and reports for the AISC 360-16 et 360-10 normes. These updates ensure that your designs comply with the most recent codes and provide even better precision. For more information on these updates, please check out our full changelog.
Nouveau “Draw Distance Radii” tool in the Load Generator
We’ve recently added a new “Draw Distance Radii” button to the SkyCiv Load Generator. This feature allows you to draw a circle with a specified radius (distance) from the location. This is particularly helpful for determining Terrain and Exposure Categories.
