[Modeling] Added Line Type Member Creation Function ⇾ (User Section Mode)
To facilitate the modeling of thin members specialized for steel bridges, CIM V200 has incorporated the creation of Line Type Members in addition to the existing Plane Type. Modeling is conducted by assigning thickness to line objects, prioritizing Section Lines during modeling to ensure proper application of Fitting tools and targets.
For detailed information, please refer to the manual.

[Modeling] Added Diaphragm Stiffener & Manhole Creation Function
In most steel bridge design plans where diaphragms are applied, horizontal and vertical stiffeners and manholes are essential. Just as rebar modeling is emphasized in concrete bridges, CIM V200 has incorporated the creation functions for diaphragm stiffeners and manholes to simplify the modeling of steel bridges.
For detailed information, please refer to the manual.

[Modeling] Haunch
In concrete structure planning, haunches or chamfers are prescribed to ensure smooth stress transfer in sections where the direction of stress changes abruptly due to sectional forces.
In CIM V200, during the creation of 3D models, the software has been developed to allow the addition of haunches or the flexible application of section sizes according to design plans without predefining these haunches.
For detailed information, please refer to the manual.

[Field Data] Field Viewer
In CIM V190, an environment for Field Data, which allows embedding information into objects, was established. In the latest CIM V200, a Field Viewer has been provided to allow users to view custom-entered Field Data through a separate popup window.
The inherent Geometry Data of objects can be checked as Basic Property, while custom-entered information, such as Object Breakdown Structure (OBS), can be displayed separately as Property Data and Quantity Data.
Additionally, you can directly access the Field Viewer by clicking on the symbol that appears after selecting a created object.
For detailed information, please refer to the manual.

[Field Set] Text Format Import
As a BIM model serves as an information model, it requires the input and management of a vast amount of information. While CIM V190 established a system for containing information, CIM V200 enhances related functionalities and introduces new user convenience features.
Field Set allows users to edit extensive information forms using editing tools similar to Excel and enables batch creation through CSV file imports.
Manual Link : Field Set, Text Format : Field Set
[Field Data] Object Group
The model of a structure is composed of multiple object units. For instance, modeling a bridge structure involves combining smaller units such as foundations, columns, and copings.
To assign management information to such structured models, CIM V200 allows management information to be assigned not only to individual objects like foundations, columns, and copings, but also to the structure as a whole.
One method of utilization is through the Object Group feature, which groups objects together. This allows information to be assigned to the model as a whole. Additionally, when models are exported in IFC file format, grouped models can be managed at the group level.
For detailed information, please refer to the manual.

[IFC Export] Improvements Including GUID Preservation
Files with the IFC extension appear in the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format, which sets international standards for importing and exporting objects and their properties for components. To ensure compatibility between different software applications, it is essential to support the latest IFC versions specified by buildingSMART International.
In the previous CIM V190, development and integration were carried out to enable exporting to the latest IFC version, IFC4.3. In CIM V200, ongoing improvements have been made to ensure that even if properties of the model change, their unique GUIDs are preserved.
Moving forward, for clients utilizing CIM, support for the latest maintenance of the IFC file format, which is crucial for BIM model compatibility, will be continued.
[IFC Export] Support for IFC Multi Schema
The IFC Export option has been enhanced to support both IFC4 and IFC4×3.
[IFC Export] Performance Improvement in IFC Export
In comparison to CIM V190, the average file creation speed in IFC Export has been improved by approximately sixfold, enhancing usability.
[Convenience] Save in Mode (File Saving in Library Mode)
Previously, in CIM models, file saving was restricted to Base Mode only, causing inconvenience. To address this issue, in CIM V200, it is now possible to save files while working in Library Mode. Even after closing the program, when reopening the file, users can continue their modeling work in Library Mode from the last saved state.
Furthermore, the speed of Mode Open processes for file reopening has been improved by approximately twofold on average.
[Convenience] Addition of Texture Images
To apply various material effects, CIM V200 has incorporated nine new texture images, allowing them to be applied to models.
[Convenience] Addition of Graphics File Export
To enhance the usability of models created in CIM, the range of files that can be exported as Graphics Files has been expanded. Export to Wavefront OBJ format (.obj), GL Transmission Format (binary) (.glb), and Autodesk FBX (binary) (*.fbx) is now possible.
