Special Release Notices

Structural Synchronizer CONNECT Edition Update 3 installs both the Structural Synchronizer application and the Integrated Structural Modeling (ISM) framework. As with Structural Synchronizer 10.01.00.32, this release of Structural Synchronizer creates ISM 6.0 format repositories. There will be no upgrade required to ISM repositories published with Structural Synchronizer 10.01 after installing Structural Synchronizer 10.03. Repositories created with earlier versions of Structural Synchronizer will be upgraded to the ISM 6.0 when making changes to the repository contents.

New Features

This release of Structural Synchronizer includes the enhancements described below.

Improved Node Generation

ISM nodes are important in tying together the physical and the analytical - they are instrumental in providing connectivity information between disjointed members. Nodes are routinely added and removed by ISM enabled applications using Internal Node Generation methods. In this release of Structural Synchronizer, we have improved upon the existing node generation method, to both improve on the accuracy of nodes generated nodes and also the time it takes to generate and clean up nodes. All ISM enabled applications benefit from this Improved Node Generation method. 

ProjectWise Integration Improvements

In this version of Structural Synchronizer we have improve reliability of ProjectWise workflows involving ISM Repositories and publishing of iModels. Particular emphasis was placed on the iModels publishing process and to ensure that it is intact regardless if the source ISM Repository is local or on ProjectWise.

Bug Fixes

This release of Structural Synchronizer includes the fixes described below.

• Status bar shows "Path" instead of proper title for different project types - The status bar at the bottom of the structural synchronizer window have inconsistent information between ISM repositories on ProjectWise compared to local/iModelHub.   (930318).
• Cannot publish iModel files from ProjectWise - For ISM repositories saved in ProjectWise, subsequent publish to iModel operation would cause errors(936282).
