- Wall Systems - Walls have been completely re-imagined, allowing for precise depiction of construction methods and materials. The new wall system element in V12 enables multiple finishes on either side of the wall. Each wall comprises a core and limitless layers of materials, including sheathing, insulation, and finishes.
- Trim Packages - In conjunction with the new wall system, wall trim boards can now be applied at both the project level and on a per-wall basis. Choose a trim package to apply to all walls in a project or select specific trim for individual walls. You can easily switch out the entire trim package for the project.
- Trim boards are defined within trim packages, allowing for compound trims and unlimited custom trims. Trim boards can be easily applied to sloped walls, gable frieze boards, and framed openings. Additionally, there are options for how trim boards behave on walls with multiple finishes giving you expanded control.
- Patterned Mode - All hatch patterns now support both a hatch pattern and a solid fill background color, enhancing the appearance of elevation views. This feature allows you to show the hatch pattern with a defining color behind it, elevating the overall look of your model.
- Cut Height - The cut height for a plan view is now configurable from the Locations dialog. Whether a 5-foot cutting plane better displays the features of the floor plan or a 2-foot cutting plane reveals more detail, you can choose the cutting plane height that works best for your project.
- Surfaces - By user request, surfaces can now be created and displayed independently of floors, ceilings, or roofs. Using the surface tool, you can represent any horizontal or sloped surface, with each surface’s visibility controlled separately.
- Roof to Surfaces – Roofs can now be converted to surfaces for finite customization.
- Window and Door Marks - The auto mark style now supports the industry standard “3040” mark style. Update the window size, and the tag will adjust automatically!
- Center Opening - You can now right-click on an existing opening to center it within the wall. You can then drop your windows in quickly and easily adjust them after the fact for an efficient model and working drawing creation.
- Cabinet Swings—Parametric cabinets now support left and right swing doors. You can change the swing on the fly and illustrate precisely how the cabinet will appear.
- IFC Import/Export - The IFC Import has been enhanced to recognize models created by any design software. The extended support includes additional elements, improved fault tolerance, and wall conversion.
- Sketchup Import - Expanded support for SketchUp blocks with the recognition of transparent textures and the ability to optimize imports by recognizing single-sided elements.
- New Textures - We sourced the latest new materials and put them in the catalog so you can design with all the latest textures.
- New Blocks - We curated the catalog to remove dated elements and add new content so you have the latest elements for your projects.
