New View Settings & Quality of Life Improvements

Today, we have a whole series of updates for you designed to make your experience on LastBIM more comfortable.

👁️ View settings

We updated the view settings for the property overview, specification overview and the property tables within specifications. You'll now find filter, column visibility, and grouping options consolidated in one "View Settings" menu.

Key Improvements:

  • Your view settings are now saved in your browser, so you won't have to reconfigure them when you return to LastBIM.

  • You can save the view settings for your entire team, ensuring everyone sees the same configuration for better collaboration.

  • A banner at the bottom of the table indicates if elements are hidden due to search or view settings.

  • Your search queries are saved for the active session, allowing you to leave and return to the table without losing your search context.

✨ Additional Quality of Life Improvements

Attribution in Plugin:

  • Attribution Progress Tracking: Track your progress in the plugin attribute view with a new progress indicator.

  • Context Information for Active Specifications: See the hierarchy and the description of the selected specification during the attribution and open the specification via link in the browser for more information.

Specification Management:

  • Property Classification Column: View property classifications directly in the Specification Overview to control which specifications are classified.

  • Duplicate Specification Parent Selection: Choose where the new specification should be added when duplicating by selecting the parent specification.

  • Search by IFC Mapping: Search specifications by IFC mapping in the Specification Overview.

Property Management:

  • Alphabetical Value Lists: Value lists are now sorted alphabetically for easier navigation.

  • Configure Auto-Split Characters: Set characters to automatically split large value lists when you copy paste value lists into LastBIM for easier data entry.

Handling of Properties within Specifications:

  • Bulk Removal of Property Sets: Remove entire property sets from a specification, not just individual properties.

  • Group Properties by IFC Property Set: Group properties by IFC Property Set in addition to grouping them by the property groups.
