Release Notes for Simplebim 11

Simplebim 11.0 (14.5.2025)

New Features

  • Dataflows for easier automated BIM data wrangling. The tools and Excel templates from older Simplebim versions can be used as steps in the new dataflows.
  • New simplified start-up window
  • New Trimmer Mode. Previously Simplebim had a dedicated trimmer workspace for deciding which objects and properties are included. Now there is a universal Trimmer Mode and include/exclude decisions can be made in any workspace.
  • New Home workspace (previously Trimmer workspace). In the Home workspace it is now possible to show only included objects in the 3D window (Trimmer Mode = Off) and in this case the 3D buckets used for trimming don’t waste screen real-estate.
  • New tools for
    • Adding properties
    • Copying property values
    • Adding and modifying groups
    • Including/excluding objects and properties
    • Setting and resetting the appearance of objects
    • Moving objects to container
    • Proximity
