Qonic October 2024 Release Notes

In this release, we’ve enhanced data editing by introducing support for type properties, allowing you to share properties across multiple elements through a shared type. Additionally, you can now create, query, and assign spatial locations - such as buildings, stories, and spaces - to elements. Combined with the new search category options in the Command Center, these updates enhance your ability to query and enrich data in your imported model.

Data management

  • Spatial Locations: Qonic now supports a variety of spatial location types, including buildings, stories, and spaces, as well as infrastructure locations like bridges and roads. You can now filter by these location types in both the Browse and Report panels.

  • Type Properties: Added support for type properties, allowing you to share properties across multiple elements through a shared type.

  • Inspect Panel Improvements

    • The Inspect panel now includes type properties and supports all spatial location types, displaying locations as a unified property rather than separate fields for building, floor, and site.
    • Performance improvements ensure smoother handling of large models.
    • Location-Based Filtering: You can now filter elements based on their spatial locations directly in the Inspect panel
  • Libraries: Filter elements by their usage in the model, enhancing library management and accessibility.

Accurate Quantities

  • Quantity Calculations:
    • The Report panel now offers faster quantity calculations.
    • Length calculations for walls have been refined for greater accuracy.

Platform and User Interface

  • Model States in the Top Bar: The top bar now displays the current state of your model, indicating whether it is in sync, has unpublished changes, a newer version is available, or if there were issues with merging or saving changes. This provides clear, real-time updates on your model’s status.

  • New Search Category Options: We’ve introduced tiles in the Command Center for various search categories, making it simpler and more intuitive to locate specific information within your model.

  • Improved Panel Drag Consistency: Dragging the Report panel is now smoother and more reliable.
