SmartBuild 1-55 Release Notes

New Features

  • Show shipped length instead of Cut Length on the ‘Sheathing’ Panel Drawings

    • This will allow field workers to easily match up the panels lying in the field with the location each panel goes for each wall or roof section

    • This is the length that includes the margins and rounding and NOT the actual cut length

  • New ‘Roof Layout’ option shows the shipped lengths of all panels

    • The layout shows the whole roof in one layout

    • This is a new option under the existing ‘Roof Layout’ in Settings/Outputs

    • You can create two roof layouts, one without the panels (just roof label and slope) and another with the roof panels and lengths

    • This is the ‘shipped’ length that includes the margins and rounding and NOT the actual cut length

  • A ‘pick’ length is now shown for each cut length on the wall and roof ‘Assembly’ framing drawings.  

    • This helps field workers determine which full length piece to pull from the delivery to use for cuts in the field

    • Cuts are consolidated across ‘usage’ so by purlins, girts etc.

    • It does not however show where multiple cuts from a single board for a given usage are used across the job (so a girt on one wall may be cut from the same board as another girt on another wall)

  • Post Layout Updates

    • Now dotted lines are used to represent Open Walls

    • Placement of opening descriptions that used to overlap has been improved

  • ‘SetUp Wizard’ fixes

    • Color Codes Missing on Setup Wizard download has been fixed

    • Site slowdowns associated with the SetUp Wizard have been fixed
