New Features of Version 26.1

SEMA CAD

• For BVX export to Cambium, the control of the fastening units has been expanded. In addition to the existing units for nailing and stapling, the pressure unit (P04 = 18) and the centre punch unit (P04 = 19) can now also be controlled via MCAD parameters. In addition, the execution type for contours can be predefined when exporting to Wallmaster CF. The options sawing (P04 = 1) and milling (P04 = 2) are available. If, for example, "sawing" is set, all available saws are checked and the first suitable saw for contour machining is automatically used. In the export settings for Wallmaster CF, the new options "Automatic production" and "Produce contour as outer outline" must be activated under "Contour". In addition, the MCAD parameter (P17) can be used to specify whether contours are to be produced with or without overlap.

• P17 = 0$B1→ Automatic machine
• P17 = 1$B1→ No intersection
• P17 = 2$B1→ Only at the beginning
• P17 = 3$B1→ Only at the end
• P17 = 4$B1→ Start and end

• The execution type and the setting for overlap can be controlled in Cambium in the metadata (from Cambium version 2026.01.12 or higher).
• The BVX machine export to Cambium of machining operations with shear angles has been revised.
• Python scripts can now be used for IFC export. The freely programmable scripts are taken into account when exporting an IFC file and enable, for example, specifically defined components to be filtered out. The predefined scripts can be stored in the IFC export dialogue under "Settings". The new "Selection with script" function can then be selected in the export dialogue.
• For trusses and K-levels, there is now an option to output the 3D geometry. This allows you to control whether the components are taken into account as complete bodies during export. This creates more flexibility and consistency when working with 3D data.
• Purlins and rafters can now be mirrored from one side of the roof to the other via the ridge in both 2D and 3D views. The copy function for timber can now be executed several times in succession.
• The overview detail in the layout view now saves the F7 settings.
  In the display settings (F7) under Images + 3D, the ambient backlighting can now be adjusted in the visualisation. This makes it possible to specifically influence the lighting of the OpenGL display. The options Standard, Increased and Intensive are available.
