Solibri have today announced the release of Solibri Model Checker v9.8. This builds on the already successful quality checking tool, and brings in some useful new functionality to an already powerful product. Solibri Model Checker (SMC) v9.8 offers something for both existing and new users. Current Solibri fans will notice a modern, fresh, redesigned user interface. This comes with a new, fast 3D engine – allowing top performance for existing subscribers at no extra charge.

The current user experience has also been improved with a set of new features – notably the new ‘2D Document Markup’. Users can now overlay 2D PDF drawings directly into their 3D BIM to better compare (or visualise) the valuable information available in the PDF directly in the model. SMC v9.8 also includes BCF 2.1 and new rules for those considering site safety and the designing of large builds with ratios of required spaces per area.
