New bocad Update: Visual, User-Friendly, Connected
Bochum, 13 September 2023. The new update of bocad 2023 brings enhancements in user comfort, visualisation, collaboration, productivity, performance, and detailing. SCHULLER&Company has released the latest version of bocad version.
With the third major release in 2023, the construction software bocad addresses customer requests and resolves details to optimize performance, productivity, collaboration, and user comfort. New features, visual enhancements, optimized displays, simplified data imports and exports characterize this release. The most significant innovations include:
Icons: Enhanced Colour Contrasts and New Symbols
A significant change in the toolbar is the visual representation of icons. The icons have been made more distinct through color and contours, making them easier to identify with improved contrast. Users can now quickly grasp and select icons, facilitating construction and increasing productivity. bocad features over 12,500 icons across all trades, including steel, roofing, wood, glass, towers, and offshore, reflecting the depth of tools available.
Collaborating through DATA Exchange and Change Marking
After importing a file into a project, it is now possible to continue editing the drawings. This allows multiple users to create drawings independently, ensuring that these drawings can be seamlessly continued by others at a later time. Lists or logs of changes are created with each positioning run to provide transparency.
Visual Representation: Automatic Color Assignment for Profiles and Materials
The visual differentiation of different profiles and materials enhances safety during construction, thereby increasing productivity. Automatic color assignment for profiles and materials provides orientation.
Macros for the Creating Ladder Rungs
The creation of ladders with U-profiles is supported by macros to increase performance.
Change Plate Thickness with a Sinlge Click
Changing plate thickness in a design can now be done with just one click, thanks to the new option for modifying the thickness of various sheets, enabling rapid plan adjustments.
IFC Export New Validation Function
During export, additional information in the log window now highlights faulty elements, allowing users to address them immediately.
bocad with Enhanced 2D Capability
The graphics performance of bocad has been extended by the option "copy". With the multicopy command, an element can now be copied in several places, saving time. Parts dimensioning is now also possible without an additional reference point, which increasing user comfort.
