New: "Freeze" Height Construction

05/07/2024 Software

In Compass Software, it is now possible to freeze the height construction so that the run parts remain unchanged when modifications are made to the floor plan.

It is possible to freeze the contours of the height construction in the floor plan construction. When this mode is enabled, the contours of the run parts remain unchanged until the run part lengths are changed and a recalculation is required. If a recalculation is unavoidable, a warning message is displayed, and the mode is disabled. The mode can then be reactivated.

The following floor plan actions do not trigger a recalculation, as the run length remains the same:

Creating a riser
Changing riser thickness
Changing tread thickness
Changing tread overhang
Rounding the front edge of the tread
Creating block treads
Creating child protection slats
Changing baluster type
Deleting infills
Tread winding in the staircase, except at the entrance tread

The following actions in the floor plan trigger a recalculation as the run length changes:

Creating posts
Changing corner connection type for run parts in the floor plan
Tread winding at the front edge of the entrance tread
In general when creating infills and run parts (depending on situation: preserving the contours works for some actions)
Changing infills (depending on situation: preserving the contours works for some actions)
Changing run part thickness
Changing handrails to round handrails

The function will become available with the next release version.
