Version 8.50 of SteelVis (CIS/2 to VRML and IFC Translator) is now available.
This version includes a new and complete User's Guide for SteelVis. It documents all of the features of SteelVis and should be a useful resource for novice and expert users.
Some of the other new features in recent versions of SteelVis are:
- Support for openings such as web penetrations and holes in slabs
- Improved feedback about cross section dimensions found in a CIS/2 file
- Generate an Excel spreadsheet from a CIS/2 file
- Display models without any VRML plugin with an X3DOM file
- Better compatibility with Windows 7 and 64-bit computers
