On release notes you will find an overview of all new features and improvements
The most important new features:
1. New Water accumulation on flat roofs
It is now possible to test water accumulation on flat roofs. Water accumulation in steel structures of flat roofs is and remains a hot topic. Every year a number of roofs in the Netherlands fail due to water accumulation. Many publications have been written about it and research has been done. The latest calculation rules and insights have now been implemented in XFEM4U.
2. New Section Box
As in AutoCad Revit, you can use a Section Box to limit the visibility of the model. The objects of the model inside the section box are still visible, what is outside it is no longer visible.
How does it work? Watch the demo here.
3. New Match properties (a new right-click function)
Match properties allows you to quickly and easily copy all beam data from a selected beam. The cursor changes. Now click on the other beam to copy that data. Right-click or ESC disables this function.

4. New Snap perpendicular to the beam
There is also snapping to the point of perpendicularity. The bullet node is drawn in red and the status bar shows that you connect perpendicular to the beam.
