Multi Region Support - Introducing Europe & North America

ToBe Builder has now deployed to 3 new regional Azure Infrastructure.

  • Oceania : Based in Sydney Australia

  • Europe : Based in Germany (GDPR Compliant)

  • North America : Based in US East

The region drop down is presented to you before login, and will direct you to the correct regional infrastructure, including B2C login flow from that point.

The move also included several file caching and storage improvements including;

  • Major reworking of the Main, Consumption, BIM Conversion, ARView, Programmed, and Config APIs to improve performance & security.

  • Added support for regional infrastructure, multi-region file/library/project APIs, and smoother cross-region project migration and file movement.

  • Moved all file storage to Azure Cloud files improvements, including conversion, storage, and secret setup.

  • Enabled IDD Tech admin controls to allow for the migration of tenants and projects between regions, as well as migration of projects between tenants within regions via simple Admin tools.

  • Improved resource library, resource cache handling, and validation.

Automated Cleanup of PC user model, resource and programme Cache:

If you have been using ToBe Builder for a extended period, you will have accumulated a significant store of cache model files. This new build will give you the option of to cleanup these files. Don't worry, ToBe will download any files you still need as you open each project, so this will just help free up some space on your PC.

Project Setup Improvements (CRS Lookup):

Tobe Builder allows you to easily federate your georeferenced BIMs at their real-world location on the globe. To achieve this, the project location (latitude and longitude) must be converted into a grid position within your project’s Coordinate Reference System (CRS) and provided during project creation. The resulting grid position is entered in the Grid Offset fields when setting up the project.

This process involves transforming coordinates from WGS84 (latitude and longitude) to the Coordinate Reference System used by your BIMs (northing and easting, or X and Y).

You can obtain this information by requesting it from your GIS coordinator, using the CRS Lookup, or performing the coordinate transformation through your preferred website or application.

The CRS Lookup menu allows you to quickly find and apply the correct Coordinate Reference System (CRS) for your project. It will display a list of filtered valid Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) based on the location of your project on the globe.

Scene State Modes:

2.6.2 adds a new scene state modes to the scene window. The state mode extends the existing 4D BIM Linked toggle to include a new scene filter option.

All: Show every element from every BIM in the scene.

Scene Filter: Filters BIM elements based on the Scene Filter Settings. To open the settings, click the chevron next to Scene Filter

  • Show Unlinked Elements: Filters the scene that only elements that are not linked to any tasks are visible.

  • Show Linked Elements: Filters the scene to only show BIM Elements that are linked to a task and abide by the conditions below.

  • Conflict State: When a BIM Element is added to more than one task and any of those tasks have overlapping dates it is considered a Conflict for that element.

  • Linked To Task Amount: Filter the Elements by how many tasks they have been assigned to.

  • Apply 4D BIM Linked: See 4D BIM Linked Below


4D BIM Linked: Sets linked BIM Elements states based on their task links at the current project time.

Multi Task BIM Links:

Previous versions of ToBe Builder prohibited the user from linking BIM element geometry to more than 1 task. This simplified the workflow and avoided visualisation conflicts, but it introduced overheads if users wanted to show multiple stages of work appearing sequentially for a given element. Such as Reo, Form and Pour stages of typical concrete construction.

This release of ToBe Builder allows users to link multiple tasks to any item of geometry within the system. This would allow for example a user to link a single wall element to a task for reinforcement, formwork and pour stages of concrete construction without having to duplicate geometry as was required in the past.

Element Conflicts

TobeBuilder supports linking BIM elements to multiple tasks. When an element is linked to two or more tasks that have overlapping time frames this is considered an Element Conflict. When assigning links or editing a task that produces a conflict you will be presented with a notification popup.

Conflicts are not considered errors but do be aware that the latest task to be active will control the shared links and will only relinquish those links if another task sharing the element has now started or the task containing the link has finished.

Construction Visualization Styles Conflicts

If a BIM Element is shared between two or more tasks that have overlapping durations, the most recent task's CVS settings will control those elements and relinquish the element when the task is over or another more recent overlapping task that contains that element has become active.

Selection Inspector tasks conflicts panel

An Element Conflict occurs when an element is linked to two or more tasks that have overlapping dates. When you select an element with conflicts, it will display a list of its Conflict Groups. Conflict groups can be used to help identify and resolve conflicts.

Within a group item, you can select the conflict time to investigate the issue, view all linked elements included in that Conflict Group, and select any overlapping tasks directly.

If multiple elements are selected, the Conflicts Panel will only display conflict groups that are shared among all selected elements.

Resource Keyframe Copy and Paste

The system for copying and pasting resource keyframes has been improved.

When you have some resource keyframes selected, you can now copy and paste them using Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V instead of needing to click the buttons in the Selection Inspector.

Copying keyframes also now copies their data to the system clipboard so you can paste it into a text editor, make changes manually, and copy back to this application.

Video Export Changes

The Video Export Settings for sequences have been streamlined.

  • "Wait for GIS" is now always on instead of being an optional toggle.

  • "Frame Delay" is now "Max Frame Delay".

  • So the default settings will now export the video as fast as possible while waiting for the GIS to load fully for each frame.

  • If you want to quickly export a low-quality video, you can simply reduce the "Max Frame Delay" to 0 so it never waits.

Minor Usability and UI fixes:

- Visual fixes for dropdown menus, dialog text sizing, and project creation layout.

- Annotation shaft and point now scale correctly in screen space.
- Better sorting in resource prefabs and sidebar tabs.
- Project menu improvements and search field clearing when tenant changes.
- Hotkey and focus fixes for UI navigation.
- Safety and error handling tweaks in manifest loading and data APIs.
- Improved rotation snap input formatting and handling for inspector panels.
- CLI and installer improvements.
- General:
- Vivox and Meta SDK updated/managed.
- Innate logging and better exception handling added.
- Bug fixes affecting element conflicts, shader keywords, and annotation modifications.

- Renaming projects from the menu.
- Improvements to recycle bin and deleting/restoring projects (including from the recycle bin).
- Added confirmation after project deletion and improved locking when loading projects.

- Patch for illegal characters in annotations.
- Performance warning popup is now more informative.
