it was supposed to be but we are not done Beta Testing. B4 comes out tomorrow, after that is the Release Candidate...I don't think they want us giving sneak peeks yet. I don't want to steel their thunder.

James B posted this on the Beta forum last night.

Also, with the official announcement, you are now free to discuss the new version.

With Tab based navigation do different tabs maintain their own layer and MVO settings, etc.? Or will each tab have its own independent view settings?

What about Mac RETINA displays?

I am curious about this too.

The tabs all change to the current layers and MVO of the view you have current.
Just like all your open windows do now.
But the TAB (so long as it is a view from the view map and not the project map) will have a triangular warning symbol on it to say it is not showing with its default settings.
Then a simple double click on the TAB will restore its original settings.

I would have thought this was a good opportunity to sort that out, especially with all the talk of "background processing". Not really an improvement.

I've been studying the feature comparison and this little guy caught my eye "BIMx Hyper-models: Viewable 3D in BIMx for Desktop"
Does anyone have any more information? Are we talking about vr?
Really excited about new features!

Curious to know what you mean by this. what could have been addressed?

The new tabs feature is really nice. Can already feel my brain gratefully sighing that a few less braincells will need to be sacrificed working in AC

Just to clarify:
Single-click on a Tab is like using the Project Map in the Navigator: view is seen with the current layer, MVO, etc. settings
Double-click on a Tab is like using the View Map in the Navigator: view is seen with its stored View Settings
The icon in the Tab matches the Navigator icons
So you can navigate with the Tabs the same way you can navigate with the Navigator

You only can have one floor plan tab open. Many sections, elevations, 3D, drawing sheets, etc, but you can't have .. say floor one and floor 2 open at the same time. You can't have floor 1 framing and floor 1 electrical open at the same time. You always have to have the floor plan open.
