Providing you with the flexibility to modify openings according to your needs after automated creation is essential. Therefore, our goal is to offer you the most efficient workflows. We're introducing a new method for aligning openings. Simply click on [Align], select an opening, set its reference, and proceed. Finish by pressing [ESC].
Upgrades to ConVoid Manager
We've added new features to the ConVoid Manager. Now, you can run approvals on Structural Openings, quickly navigate to an opening in a 3D view by double-clicking its row, and even copy cell values.
Web-based License Manager
We're excited to officially introduce our web-based license manager. This tool provides administrators with insights into ConVoid license usage and empowers them to release licenses if a user inadvertently blocks one. Additionally, administrators can prevent certain machines from accessing the license. Users also have the option to borrow a license for an extended period, up to 7 days. If you wish to integrate this with your existing license, please contact us at team@conclass.tech. New customers can choose to include this feature during their purchase.
