BIMcollab Zoom | 19-09-2024
Build number 9.0.12

Important Upgrade Notification
We recommend upgrading with all team members at the same time, as the availability of shared Smart Views, Clash rules, Lists, and Smart Properties may become limited in previous versions.*
New feature: Distance Checking
- Maintenance space around installations
- Adjustment space for precast concrete elements or windows and doors
- Space for insulation material around pipes
Improvements
• Smart Issues are now associated with conflict rules.
Use shared rules for a good collaboration experience, because:
- Update Smart Issues respects the tolerances currently set in the rule.
- Update Smart Issues checks if components are still part of the source/target set in the rule. If not, the issue is resolved.
- If the associated rule cannot be found, the status color is purple ('unknown')
- Add/remove spaces without their parts in Smart Views and Conflicts
- Create Lists for just containers, such as overview of all models in a project
• Editor/Project leader with Zoom license but ‘No edit rights” can now report conflict results
• Improved geometry rendering
• Improved performance for loading models
• Improved the drag selection experience
• When connected to a project with WebViewer models, 'Open Recent' from the File menu now closes the current project first
• Versioning of local Conflict rules, Smart Views, Lists and Smart Properties
Bug Fixes

• Fixed incorrect French translations for ‘Report as one issue’
• Fixed a problem with not being able to see WebViewer models when connecting to the space using www
