Question:

What are the benefits of the new views and sections?



Answer:

In Allplan 2019, you can use the new views and sections for reinforcement for the first time. This results in various benefits: You no longer need write access to the building model while placing reinforcement. Different access rights make it easier for architects and engineers to collaborate on the same project.

For example, architects may have write access to all building components, whereas engineers can be given write access for the placement of reinforcement only, with read-only access to the building components. This prevents unintentional modifications whilst working on shared models enhances collaboration across disciplines. In addition, this enhances system performance especially with large and detailed models.

Frequently, similar reinforcement placements are required across a building. With the new views and sections, you can copy reinforcement including sections and labels from one location to others. This approach significantly reduces the time and effort spent on reinforcement.

Note:

You cannot create reinforcement views and the new views and sections in the same drawing file.
We recommend using reinforcement views to finish projects with reinforcement from earlier versions.
