Higharc Release Notes

✏️ For Design & Drafting

Void Openings have been renamed Full Openings to better reflect their functionality

  • Likewise the Void Wall Command is now the Full Opening Command. The default shortcut is still Shift+V.

  • Full Openings allow users to remove walls along room half edges. The functionality didn't change.

Live Plans users may now add viewport titles to any viewport

  • Live Plans users may now add viewport titles to any viewport, reducing manual annotation and supporting information-rich construction documents (CDs).
