The following changes have been made to the Structure task.

Hot Fix and Service Pack Updates

  • Added an option to the Gap frame connection that allows you to select where the gap is symmetrical along the primary member. See General Tab for more information. (P2 CP:364428)

  • Added Routing Tab to Member Part Prismatic Properties Dialog Box. For more information, see Member Part Prismatic Properties Dialog. (P2 CP:311379)

  • Updated the steps for placing a manual view for non-shell plates. See Place a Manual View for Non-Shell Plates. (P3 CP:356938)

Version 2016 (11.0)

  • The new Member Autoconnect Command command creates frame connections between existing members in the model automatically using a predefined set of rules and tolerances. When you import, move, copy and paste with a move, or mirror copy members in the model, the frame connections are set as unsupported. But now with automatic connection, the software finds the needed frame connections for you. (P2 CP:255984; P2 CP:267994)

  • You can now place built-up members, including tapered members, in a plant model. Before you were limited to placing built-up members only in a marine model. (P2 CP:136769)

  • When placing members, the active coordinate system defined in the PinPoint ribbon is honored. For example, this allows you to place columns with a 0-degree beta angle in a rotated coordinate system and have the columns align correctly to the rotated coordinate system. This feature is available in Place Linear Member System Command, Place Bracing Command, Place Framing Members Command, and Place Columns at Grid Intersections Command. In Place Vessel Supports Command, the X-, Y-coordinates of the selected equipment displays in the active coordinate system. (P2 CP:19956)

  • You can now export marine plate objects to a CIS/2 file. (P2 CP:253427)

  • You can now import bocad® models into Smart 3D. For more information, see Importing and Exporting Structure and Import bocad. (P2 CP:250191)

  • When you convert handrails to members, the handrail posts are now automatically connected to nearby structural objects with either the Axis-Along or Surface-Default frame connections. This allows you to place assembly connections on the handrail posts to obtain weld information and manufacture any base plates or attachments that are needed for the connection. (P2 CP:250589)

  • Added descriptions of molded conventions for the individual plates of a designed (built-up) member. For more information, see Molded Conventions Tab (Nonlinear Plate System Properties Dialog Box - Designed Member). (P2 CP:264474)

  • Added a new locate filter, Construction Graphics. For more information, see Selecting Objects. (P2 CP:271166)

  • You can specify a new sketching plane when you edit an opening with a missing sketching plane. For more information, see Place Opening Command. (P2 CP:279815)

  • You can now use the measure command to measure from fireproofing geometry to objects in the model to check for clearance. (P2 CP:155070)

  • Tapered and built-up members can now be exported to a physical CIMsteel file. (P3 CP:229011)

  • Curved members can now be assigned Piecemark and Assembly Mark properties. (P3 CP:228984)

  • You can now import CIS/2 files without having the software compare the GUIDs in the file with the GUIDs in the model. This ability to import and ignore IDs allows you to import the same CIS/2 file multiple times into the same model to create a unique copy each time the file is imported. (P3 CP:249402)

  • The Place Bracing Command, Place Framing Members Command, Place Columns at Grid Intersections Command, and Place Vessel Supports Command commands now support the use of built-up sections. (P3 CP:147163)

  • For piping and equipment objects in plant mode, Insulation, Equipment Hole, Maintenance, and Operation aspects displaying in the 3D graphic view also display in the Sketch 2D environment. For more information, see Format View Dialog in the Common User's Guide, Place Opening Command, and Place Slabs Command. (P4 CP: 119768)
