Platform Changes
New Features
Improved Revit Metadata Handling
Revit metadata processing has been enhanced in the following areas:
- Duplicate metadata entries have been eliminated to prevent attribute redundancy.
- Empty metadata attributes are now better filtered when
m_bReadEmptyAttributesis set to A3D_FALSE, resolving cases where blank values were previously displayed despite the setting.
Support of Revit Connector Points
Connector points associated with a Revit element are now imported as A3DRiPointSet entities when m_bReadConstructionAndReferences is set to A3D_TRUE. These A3DRiPointSet entities are imported alongside the A3DRiRepresentationItem corresponding to the associated element.”
Documentation Changes
Our C API Reference is undergoing significant work to improve structure, navigation, and clarity. This release delivers the first part of those changes, with more revisions planned to further improve usability and readability.
