Download Swell BIM 3D Calculation Plugin 2018 for Revit

Software Update Instructions:

1. New Features Added

1. Added search and copy functions in the preview statistics.

2. Introduced a comparison feature between quota calculation rules and parameter rules for the new list.

3. Enabled quick input of steel bar properties for newly added components.

4. Added a project splitting function to address the issue of calculating project quantities by linking multiple documents. After calculation, projects can be split for easier viewing and operation within linked document departments.

5. Enhanced the model checking function with a new error report viewing feature.

6. Included waterproof thickness in the cushion layer to calculate the volume of waterproof materials.

7. In custom wall design, added a distinction between masonry and concrete areas to better differentiate wall decoration work quantities.

8. Introduced a new component selection function, allowing users to quickly view component quantities via the component tree and locate them within the model.

9. Improved quantity calculation after adding standard floor links and copying multiple times. Previously, linked documents could only calculate engineering quantities once; now, quantities are calculated based on the number of copies.

10. Added a color matching review function that displays different model colors based on various conditions to assist manual model review.

11. Added the steel bar calculation export feature, which exports forward design steel bar information to Swell 3D calculation for CAD, reducing the workload of identifying steel bar data in CAD software.

12. Added node component types for processing node reinforcement in 3D computing for CAD software.

13. Included a quick display function to rapidly switch between displayed components.

14. Introduced the new National Standard List (Anhui 2018).

15. Added new Quotas including:

• Liaoning Province Housing Construction and Decoration Engineering Quota (2017)
• Shanghai Construction and Decoration Engineering Budget Quota (2016)
• Anhui Province Construction Engineering Consumption Quota (2018)
• Beijing Construction Engineering Budget Quota (2016)
• Shanghai Construction and Decoration Budget Quota (2010)
• Shanxi Province Construction Engineering Budget Quota (2018)
• Hubei Province Housing Construction and Decoration Engineering Consumption Quota and Full Cost Base Price Table (2018)
• Jiangxi Province Housing Construction and Decoration Engineering Consumption Quota and Unified Base Price Table (2017)
• Hainan Province Housing Construction and Decoration Engineering Comprehensive Quota (2017)
• Tianjin City Building Decoration Engineering Budget Base Price (2016)

2. Functionality Optimizations

1. Optimized the construction column calculation function and fixed some loopholes in the construction column parameter rules.

2. Improved the audit tree function in model review by adding a drag feature to the interface.

3. Streamlined the process of calculating engineering quantities to reduce calculation anomalies.

4. Enhanced initial installation calculations to fix missing calculation surfaces in some cases.

5. Improved the calculation of roof waterproofing edge areas by correcting errors in edge area calculations.

6. Boosted attribute query efficiency, resolving slow performance when querying multiple component attributes simultaneously.

7. Enhanced attribute queries by enabling attribute copying through open attribute queries.

8. Upgraded model mapping to support backtracking of model components.

9. Refined drawing comparison functions for structures and building components to improve efficiency and accuracy.

10. Optimized beam number recognition for greater accuracy and speed.

11. Improved the hardcover generation algorithm to increase generation efficiency.
