Productivity Improvements 

• IFC NURBS (bsplines) surfaces implementation  
  • We have continued to improve and expand the technology preview  of NURB surfaces in IFC exports, giving greater control over , faceting, files sizes and visual presentation of complex geometry.

• IFC Export Improvements- ProStructures elements  
  • We have improved the fidelity of ProStructures geometry containing sub features such as cuts and voids when exported to IFC files. 

• Representation symbology  
  • We have improved the fidelity of rendering materials when exported to IFC. 

• Curtain Wall improvements 
  • A Curtainwall is now exported in such a way as its sub elements can be listed as a subtree to parent  element in an Ifc file. 

• IFC Relocation Tool 
  • For instances where referenced ifc files are incorrectly located and have to be manually repositioned on attachment, the new IFC relocation Key in command writes the current attached position to a new, duplicated IFC file. The new ifc file can then be attached with the new location being the default location.
