Design
- New 64-bit CAD engine. This allows the program to access more computer memory which improves import of large files for scan and tracing (e.g. PDF's, DXF, DWG's) and also helps with saving data.
- New show/hide layers by group buttons, allowing you to easily change the visibility of all the layers in a group. E.g. Hide all roof lines.
- You can now show and hide stairs in 3D model from the Visibility menu.
- Fixed 'scan & trace' images not appearing in drawings when project opened on another computer.
