Qonic March Release Notes 2026
Let’s be honest: no BIM project stays exactly as planned. As soon as things start changing, your software should make it easier, not harder. This month, we’re removing the friction with four key updates that keep you in the model, keep your data live, and keep your workflow moving.

New Capabilities
Four essential additions to your design environment
1. Loft Geometry
Create complex shapes by connecting two or more profiles along a path. This allows you to model geometry that goes beyond standard extrusions; perfect for curved roofs, fluid transitions, and custom structural elements. Because it’s built on our native B-Rep kernel, you get an exact solid that you can section, measure, and quantify.
2. Point-to-Point Measure
Clearance verification usually forces you out of the model, but not anymore. Our new Point-to-Point tool snaps to vertices and edges, showing you the total 3D. Stay in the model and get the precise answer you need on the spot.
3. IFC Base Quantities
Data management just got a lot faster. Qonic now automatically extracts embedded IFC base quantities (areas, volumes, lengths) during import. These values are surfaced in the property panel immediately after loading, eliminating the need for manual setup or external calculations.
4. 4D Planning
Your schedule now lives inside the model. By assigning elements to phases and playing back the sequence, you can visualize the project build-up, verify timelines, and spot planning conflicts directly in the viewer.
Feature Additions
Important workflow upgrades that make your daily life easier.
- Revit Rooms: We have expanded our Revit-to-Qonic integration to include native support for Revit Rooms. You can now import room geometry directly.
- Deep Inspect Precision: You can now view vertex coordinates directly in the Deep Inspect panel, giving you surgical control over your model geometry.
- Streamlined Workspace: We’ve introduced ‘Personal’ and ‘Public’ buckets to your dashboard and added a bulk delete function, making project cleanup faster.
- New Licensing Model: We have introduced a more flexible licensing model for contributors, making it easier for solo professionals and companies looking to get started with just a single seat.
- Material Color Support: We now provide full support for material color import and export, ensuring visual consistency across IFC workflows.
- Saved Preferences: The Report Panel now automatically remembers your specific calculator and unit choices.
Core Stability: Full Changelog
A quick summary of our stability and quality fixes.
Dashboard & Workspace
- Added ‘New’ model status and ‘Read-only’ labels for clarity.
- Enabled direct “create model from scratch” on the empty models placeholder page.
- Added a dedicated “Empty Reports” page.
- Group checkboxes now support a “partially checked” status.
- Fixed share action visibility for unpublished models.
- Resolved issues with mobile welcome dialogs and disabled upload revision buttons.
Interoperability
- IFC Export: Automatically skip empty derived properties and include codification URIs.
Modeling & Data
- Extrude UI: Removed redundant legacy filters for a cleaner interface.
- Add Layer: Added a visible “split into layers” shortcut.
- Fixed boundary detection crashes and corrected multi-level assembly selection issues.
Stability & Workflow fixes
- Sorting: Material, model, and floor lists now sort correctly (alphabetical and elevation-based).
- Version Compare: Resolved crashes during browse and search.
- Viewers: Multiple fixes for buildingBounds to ensure correct display.
- Filters: “Not filters” and hierarchy filters are now correctly applied in Browse and Report panels.
- UX/General: Increased clickable selection area for issues, fixed “zoom to search” during tool operation, and resolved exceptions when opening links to unpublished models.
These updates aren’t just features; they are tactical steps toward a unified workflow. Curious about the strategy behind our workflow? Erik de Keyser breaks down the 2D vs. 3D debate in his latest post. Check it out here.
