May 2021
The following enhancements have been made in this version of SMART Estimator:
- AddedA new Pavement lift tool has been added to Model IT. Apply this tool to an independent to adjust the first lift height and add safety lights and high-visibility safety standards in one action.
- AddedA new Recess tool has been added to Model IT. Apply this tool to an independent to add hop-ups set to fill a small gap (recess) in the elevation.
- AddedA Repair server tool has been added to the Server Tools application. This tool automatically fixes common issues with shared SMART Scaffolder Enterprise data.
- UpdatedIt came to our attention that some customers were unaware of the option to change the safety standard type (in Model IT > Options). The default has therefore been changed to yellow safety foam for all customers. You can change this back by applying one of the other types.
- UpdatedThe Guardrails menu has been updated with new tools for creating and removing roof edge protection. Use these tools to add (or remove) edge protection, update the drop height and set the edge protection type in one action.
- ImprovedRecesses can now be resized by dragging the ends.
- ImprovedThe appearance of brickwork around recesses has been improved.
- ImprovedColours and lighting have also been improved.
- ImprovedLaunch time has been improved. Launch no longer waits for the number of projects with a follow-up reminder to be checked.
- Bug FixedA graphics fix has been applied. This bug took effect on some computers, disabling “anti-aliasing”, making the 3D model less smooth. This has been fixed so all customers should now see the same smooth 3D models.
- Bug FixedImporting maps no longer fails for some Irish postcodes.
