As of version 2024.c, the panel for importing library connections includes the option to filter by text. When entering text over the filter field, the list of connections will show the ones that include that text in the reference or description.

Up until version 2024.c, bars entered with the "Bar" operation always had their origin located at the start of the bar. As of version 2024.c, if the "Centre longitudinally" option is activated, the origin will be at the centre of the bar.

As of version 2024.c, the "Adjust bar" operation includes the option for adjusting bars to the envelope of other bars. Up until version 2024.c, to make a similar adjustment in the case of the web of an open section, users had to adjust and apply a displacement, which varies according to the width of the bar.

As of version 2024.c, the "Reference plane" operation includes the "Edge" option to define reference planes on the edge of a plate.

As of version 2024.c, the "Reference plane" operation includes the "Intersection (Envelope)" option to define reference planes at the intersection between a bar and the envelope of another bar. This plane can be used as a reference for attaching plates, adjusting bars, etc.

Options existing up to 2024.c allow planes to be defined in any position, the advantage of using these new options is that the position of the plane is referenced to other elements so that if the dimensions or the position of the bars change, the position of the plane will also change. This is particularly useful when combined with the use of the connection library.
