This update is the first of a few expanding the resolution of the interiors model, allowing input of the takeoffs and specifications on an assembly basis.
Additionally, there are two unit-related bug fixes.
Additional Resolution of Interiors Data
Previously, a user could only enter interiors data on a per-area basis for the entire area with an interiors fitout. This was difficult, as users couldn't target reductions or tune take-offs to better match their project or ambitions.
Now, users can input more granular data on the following: interior walls (
interior_walls
), interior doors (
interior_doors
), casework (
casework
), ceiling finish (
ceiling_finish
), floor finish (
floor_finish
), and fitout & equipment (
fitout_equipment
).
All of these improvements are detailed in the schema. For the simple schema, all takeoffs happen in the
interiors
object. For the stacked schema, all takeoffs happen with the
building_level
. In all cases, specifications, reuse, and service life parameters happen in the
interiors
object.
On-Site Combustion
We all make youthful mistakes, and one of ours was equivocating between 0,100 and 0,1 ranges for parameters that are conceptualized as percentages. Regrettable, but fixable. In this release, we're addressing this for one troublesome parameter (
onsite_fossil_fuel_use_percentage
). If a value is less than 1, we interpret the value as a proportion (0.67 is interpreted as 67%); if a value is greater than 1, we interpret it as a percent (67 is also interpreted as 67%).
We'll do a deeper (e.g. breaking) refactor here in the future, but this adjustment meets the needs of everyone currently using those parameters in production.
Bug Fixes
  • SMQi will now properly convert to lb/sf for IP projects.
  • Edited refrigerant charge description so that it is correctly described on an absolute basis. Previously, refrigerant charge was incorrectly described as being on a per-area basis
