Changelog: Edit & Clone Constructions are finally here! 🔥

Greetings @Community :tada:

We’ve got exciting news—your most requested feature is finally here! After countless upvotes, comments, and nudges (we heard you loud and clear!), we’re thrilled to announce the release of Edit and Clone functionalities for Constructions! :hammer_and_wrench:

But that’s just the beginning. This release is packed with powerful features, workflow improvements, and a major upgrade to our developer tools.


:rocket: Features

  • Edit Construction:
    You can now edit your constructions, giving you full control to adjust and improve designs over time.

  • Clone Construction:
    Easily duplicate constructions to create variations—ideal for rapid design iteration or versioning.

  • NTI Country Coverage:
    Projects can now be created in all NTI countries, supporting broader collaboration and standardized workflows.

  • LEVEL(s) Calculation Type:
    Now available across all countries—supporting standardized sustainability assessments under LEVEL(s).

  • BR18 2025 Generic Dataset (Table 7):
    The latest BR18 2025 dataset has been added to support upcoming Danish regulations.
    (Stay tuned for full BR18 2025 compliance coming soon!)

  • Operation Energy Use (B6):
    Now visible in the Project data carousel on the Insights view—giving better visibility into operational impact.

  • Rhino Classification via Attribute User Text:
    Send classification codes from Rhino to Real-Time LCA by setting Attribute User Text:

    • Key = the name of the Classification Parameter
    • Value = the Classification Code
  • ArchiCAD Classification Code Parser:
    Automatically parse and import classification codes from ArchiCAD—no manual mapping needed.

  • Revit Assemblies Support:
    We now support elements within assemblies sent from Revit for more accurate modeling.

  • Gutter Support via Speckle View Selection:
    Gutters are now recognized when using View selection.
    (Thanks to the Speckle team for the fix!)


:wrench: Improvements

  • Faster Type/Material Creation:
    The “Create New Type/Material” option is now located at the top of the list for easier access.

  • Improved Role Management UI:
    Cleaner and more readable dropdown menu when changing user roles.

  • Fixed Race Condition in Manage User Modal:
    Resolved a rare issue that caused UI conflicts during user management.

  • Ă–kobaudat Reimport:
