Planning (4D) — new Planning tab - Work schedule and Gantt: - tasks, milestones and links (FS, SS, FF, SF with lags); - a calendar with Romania's public holidays; - the critical path worked out live; - edit by dragging bars, ends and links. - Model elements in tasks: - by rules (classes, types, storeys, materials, phases), so new elements join on their own; - drag the selection onto a task; - layered elements can be built in parts (core, then finishes). - Generate schedule… from the model: - templates for concrete frame, masonry, steel hall and timber frame; - durations from quantities and your own norms (imported from CSV/XLSX). - 4D simulation: - the model on any day of the schedule, with a player, colours for work under way and demolitions, and formwork and scaffolds only while they stand; - State at date on plans, sections and sheets; - a stages sheet, the Gantt on sheets, and video export. - Progress: a status date, % complete, actual dates, and elements marked done or started on site (also by session guests); one baseline, with variance. - Exchange: IFC processes, MS Project XML and XLSX, both ways. Cost (5D) — the Quantities tab is now Cost - Estimate from the model: your own price lists (CSV/XLSX), articles on types or rules by material, and Cost → Map articles…. - Romanian forms F3, F2 and C6–C9; workbook and PDF. - Cost over time: the S-curve (planned, baseline, done), monthly bars and table, the curve on sheets, and versions compared by cost. - IFC: cost schedules both ways. Documents - Written documents from templates, filled from the project, exported as DOCX, ODT and PDF. Romanian templates: memoriu tehnic, caiet de sarcini, borderou. - Visual editor: fields shown with their values, tables, pictures of views, repeats, conditions. - Templates and style: templates kept in the project or on your computer, and a company style (fonts, heading colour, logo). - Manage → Project information…, which title blocks read too.

If you are a begginer at using coding tools, like Visual Studio Code or PyCharm, Jupyter Notebook, this one is for you. I will soon have 1 year of using AI coding assistents with different tools. I did the tests, so you don't have to. I will start with Visual Code and GitHub Copilot. This is an extension of Visual Code that gives you access to different AI models. It has a 30 day trial period, a free version and a payd one (10 dollars basic - that I use). What you get with it: - you enter a prompt - describe what automation you want to do and in what programming language; - it makes a plan; - it configures the programing medium - installs libraries, virtual enviroments and so on; - uses agents too write the code - different modules. - it writes tests and documentations; How to install it - in the next link. https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/set-up/install-copilot-extension Or just go to the extensions button in VS code and follow the pipeline. You will probably be asked to make a github account. It is free and usefull later. By default you get access to AI models to use. The best in my experience is Claude Sonnet. And you get a fair amount of usage for 10 bucks. After that, you use the other free models - ChatGpt, Grok and so on. The second tools, a fork of Visual Studio Code is Cursor AI. This one is 20 bucks but you get a 15 days trial. Basicaly the same principles above aplies. Possible to be more powerfull than GhitHub copilot. The third one is another extension of Visual Code called Augment Code. It handles verry whell big code contexts - works the same like the ones above. Costs - as far as I remember 30 bucks. I just used it in the free trial. Forth - Google Colab. This one is online. Uses Gemini model. Free to use with some limitations. It is similar to a jupyter notebook. No special set ups to get access to the AI models. They are built in. While without advanced knoledge in Software engineering, these tools can't make a full complex software with 100.000 lines of code, one can develop quite nice and usefull apps with them even as a begginer.
