  • Planned 0 on the plan for the release it is filed under
  • Built 297 built and working in /lab (the dev builds). Whether the public has it is its reach: "in the lab", "Live" (the last gate) or "switched off"; see docs/REACH-LIVE.md
  • Partly built 0 part of it is built in /lab; the rest waits (see "Waits on")
  • Promised 0 the live site already says it is coming
  • Moved 0 moved here from an earlier release or wishlist
  • Found 0 bug found after a release shipped; fixed in a point release or the next one
  • Candidate 0 recommended in a spike or session log; owner to choose
  • Community please test 0 built and in /use; a Discord post gives the steps and the expected result and asks people to try it on their own devices, files or know-how
  • Decision Time 0 a decision, check, file, key, flag or go only you can give; folds into the list once answered

Built means built and working in the lab. Live means the public can use it, and is the last gate: 293 Built · Live, 4 Built · in the lab.

Grouped by track. App chips carry each app’s layer colour; Studio is in ink. "Waits on" names what has to happen first; the small lines under it say who asked and where the item is written up.

Suggestions (Track SX) 26
Sanity checkSU.1061 Link to SU.1061 Older Macs and browsers: say what the oldest supported system is

Asked: a version for older operating systems such as macOS Sierra, so old computers that still work can draw (#1061, Oct 26). Do: find the real floor today for each way to run the apps (web edition: oldest Safari / Chrome / Firefox that runs the apps and WebGL; Studio on macOS, Windows 10, Linux), state it on /download and in the help, and list what a person on something older can still do (the web edition in a current browser, or older releases). No promise of a build for systems the web view no longer supports.

FeatureSU.955 Link to SU.955 BimCraft: a project plumbing standard (US / Brazil ABNT)

Asked: a project setting "Plumbing standard: US / Brazil (ABNT)" so every new pipe run starts with that standard’s materials, sizes and slopes; today the standard follows the material picked (#955, Oct 23, from the contributor of the plumbing PRs #7–#12, CONTRIB-1024). They offered to send the PR. Do: accept the PR if it follows CONTRIBUTING (setting in Project, defaults per standard, runs and fixtures follow it, tests), and answer on GitHub.

FeatureSU.915 Link to SU.915 Tags: your own tag fields on elements that feed schedules

Asked: a tagging system for the relational requirements of an architectural project, connected to outputs for schedules (#915, Oct 22). Today BimCraft reads and writes IFC property sets and builds schedules from them. Missing: a way to define your own tag (name, type, allowed values), put it on elements in bulk, and use it in schedule columns, filters and groups. Owner chooses between property sets as the model and a lighter tag layer.

FeatureSU.1055 Link to SU.1055 BimCraft: the best of Revit and Archicad — trace reference, pen overrides, OBJ import, stairs

Asked (#1055, Oct 25; #930, Oct 22, duplicate): from Archicad, Trace Reference of any view, more fluid 3D design, multi-format point clouds, OBJ import; from Revit, pen and line overrides, and editing stairs as families from a sketch. Checked 2026-10-26: point clouds come in PLY / PCD / PTX / LAS (E57 partly, PF.1), views, crops and callouts are built (DF.19, DC.117), families are on IFC types (DC.114) and being deepened (BIM-FAM-MORE). Missing: Trace Reference of another view, per-view pen and line overrides, OBJ import in BimCraft, a stair family from a sketch. See SU.461.

FeatureSU.931 Link to SU.931 Project schedules in and out: Gantt view, Microsoft Project XML and CSV, critical path

Asked: Robot and Microsoft Project in the collection (#931, Oct 22); the structural half is SU.878 / SU.1056. Do: BimCraft's 4D schedule (WL.6) gains a Gantt view, import and export of the open MSPDI XML and CSV, dependencies (FS/SS/FF/SF) and a critical path.

FeatureSU.888 Link to SU.888 MEP: split, VRF and fan-coil equipment with refrigerant and condensate ports

Asked: an MEP modeller with fan coils, mono and multi split systems and ducts (#888, Oct 21). 3D MEP itself is built (LC.9, 0.7). Do: an equipment pack for the MEP add-on: wall, cassette and ducted indoor units, outdoor units, 2/4-pipe fan coils with ports (liquid, gas, condensate, water, duct), refnet joints, line sets sized from a table.

FeatureSU.889 Link to SU.889 Documents from the model: specification and description templates filled from IFC

Asked: a template system for project text documents connected to IFC for quantities, descriptions and calculations (#889, Oct 21). Do: templates (Markdown with fields like quantities by type, tag values, loops over elements) render a specification or description to PDF/DOCX from the open IFC; per-trade templates in the Library; reads SU.915's tags, no fields of its own.
