The 2023 release brought numerous enhancements focusing on usability, performance, and automation. 1. Improved User Experience and Performance
If you're working with BIM and structural design, you’ve likely been asking:
Previous versions treated scaffolding like an afterthought—something you drew with lines and hoped for the best. introduced a dedicated Scaffolding Designer . For the first time, users could model temporary structures legally and safely, clash-checking them against permanent elements in real-time. If a scaffold pole passed through a curtain wall, the software screamed before the worker on site had to. Integration with Trimble Connect for better model review
Most version updates are iterative—bug fixes, UI tweaks, the occasional new bolt library. But 2023 was the "Interoperability & Scaffolding" release. It was the update that acknowledged that buildings aren't just steel and concrete anymore; they are ecosystems.
: Upgraded automatic rebar shape recognition handles complex, curved geometry.
For the uninitiated, a software update might seem mundane. But for the global army of detailers, fabricators, and engineers who live inside Trimble’s ecosystem, this date was circled on the calendar with the same reverence as a construction deadline. For the uninitiated
