SO Windows 64-bits:

• Correction of the execution error on opening the Inspector dialog box;
• Corrected lack of an icon on the Robot application bar and blue icons in toolbars;
• Enabled selection of fonts when working in the OpenGL mode;

Import/export:

• Considerable acceleration of the structure import from the RCAD-Steel program.
• No possibility to open IFC format files when working using Dutch, Spanish, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese languages;
• Incorrect interpretation of UCS during import of DXF files;
• No possibility to apply “linear releases” when working in the Dutch language version;

Structure edition:

• Expansion of the ASD American section database;
• Enabled mesh generation on volumetric objects defined by means of outer walls;
• Corrected work of edit fields in the Inspector dialog box;
• A new French “library structure” – 3D frame;
• Expansion of the PN load database with variable, live loads;
• Correction of the model error that occurs for bars positioned on edges with linear releases.

Graphic interface:

• Removal of errors of the OpenGL mode:
  • quick movement of the displayed image in large zoom,
  • loss of the image while using some graphic cards.

Steel member design:

• EC3
  supplementation of a detailed note with information about classes and slenderness values of the web and the flange;
• PN-90/B-03200:
  • correction of a section class for solid members with a round section defined in the program;

• Correction of work of Connection Inspector (including the properties dialog box);
• Correction of definition of PN connections: beam-beam, fixed column base;
• Correction of the error in identifying bars in the “Y” pipe connection.

RC Design:

• Beams on the elastic ground:
