CDE

The Clash Detection module is now available in BEXEL CDE. All Clash Detection results from BEXEL Manager can be displayed here. Users can visualize conflicts directly in the viewer using either the default mode or Clash View Mode. Additionally, there are options to group clashes, edit or rename groups, change status, and adjust priority for both groups and individual clash pairs.

The user interface for displaying element properties has been improved. Property window is now shown like other modules, with the option to be rearranged anywhere on the screen. Additionally, properties can be regrouped based on their Property Set Name, Owner, Property Type, etc. For models published from BEXEL Manager version 25.0 or newer units will be displayed alongside values.

The option to receive summary email notifications on a daily basis has been introduced. Notifications are sent per project at the end of the working day, covering the previous 24-hour period. The Project Administrator can configure notification settings for each user per project within the Project Users form. Available options include:
- Instant – The user receives a notification immediately after a change is made,
- Daily – The user receives a single summary notification per project at the end of the day,
- Daily + Instant – The user receives both instant notification and a summary notification per project at the end of the day,
- None – No notifications will be sent to the user.

Cost

Fixed an issue that prevented the Automatic Quantity from being calculated at the element level when publishing cost data to BEXEL CDE. On the CDE side, this caused those values to be invalid on the CDE portal when filtering the cost structure by element selection. This fix will be available from BEXEL Manager version 25 or newer.

Docs

Added the ability to use Document Approval templates directly from the Docs module. All available Document Approval templates are now listed in the ‘Request Document Approval’ dropdown after selecting the desired documents. Options for resetting the status or setting ‘No Approval Needed’ are now available in the ‘Edit Status’ dropdown.

Facility Maintenance

Reports uploaded to the ‘Reports’ directory at the second level of the document structure were not available in Facility Maintenance → FM Reports.
