STLB-Bau Online – Check for up-to-dateness<\/h3>\n\n
This means that tender texts are always up to date!<\/strong><\/p>\n\nIf a BOQ item is created with the STLB-Bau Online tender text system, then the greatest possible legal certainty is given in accordance with VOB. But what happens if the BOQ contains “outdated” content? This can now be “checked” in NOVA AVA: all item texts within a specification that has not yet been commissioned are sent to the STLB-Bau Online server and checked there for compliance with the current STLB-Bau texts, including the regulations and standards contained therein. And in the Bill of Quantities, the texts are automatically updated after the check. <\/p>\n\n

Measurement module with amount control<\/h3>\n\n
The better overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\nYes, it’s true, the recording and approval of measurements is simply more practical and faster with the combined amount control! In addition, the displays for documents and comments on the measurements are now also more clearly highlighted. <\/p>\n\n

BIM news and much more: Nova Ava updates from April<\/h2>\n\nBIM add-on: release for starter package<\/h3>\n\n
BIM Add-On Starter Release!<\/strong><\/p>\n\nWe would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who actively participated in the beta test! And now the time has come: the BIM add-on has been released and supports you productively with cost planning and tendering. <\/p>\n\n
These are the features in the starter package:<\/p>\n\n
\n- IFC import interface (versions IFC2x3 & IFC4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Generation and updating of the room and building book (RGB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Model display and navigation in the 3D viewer<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bidirectional link between viewer and room book<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Variable-supported quantity determination for components (sampling)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n- with own cost elements & (master) BOQ positions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- with DBD-BIM cost elements & STLB construction items<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Allocation of cost groups (DIN276) & service areas (LB)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n
Multi-model viewer with 3D change log<\/p>\n\n
\n- Which components are new<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- which have changed and how<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Which elements no longer exist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n- Output of the room book-oriented cost planning in PDF & Excel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Creation of cost planning according to DIN276 directly from the RGB<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Creation of BOQ for tendering & cost calculation from the RGB<\/li>\n\n\n\n

BIM add-on: Compare models<\/h3>\n\n
Compare IFC models visually and log changes in detail!<\/strong><\/p>\n\nWhen building models are updated, the question always arises: what exactly has changed? In the NOVA AVA BIM multi-model viewer, you can now visualize and “superimpose” several models at the same time. With the options new, changed, deleted, unchanged<\/em> components, you can color models and see the differences at a glance. At the same time, you can generate detailed list outputs of component changes at the touch of a button, including a difference display of changed quantities and properties. <\/p>\n\nApril 13, 2018<\/p>\n\n

It’s the little things that count!<\/h3>\n\n
By the way …<\/strong><\/p>\n\n… unobtrusive improvements are constantly flowing into NOVA AVA. <\/p>\n\n
In the last few days it has been these:<\/p>\n\n
Excel import with new flexibility<\/em>short and long texts can now be read and concatenated from up to 3 different columns each<\/p>\n\nLong text editor and PDF output<\/em>Indents now with improved display in the print output What could previously only be displayed using tables can now be conveniently displayed using the indent function<\/p>\n\nUpdate cost planning<\/em>There is now a new option to update the cost planning according to DIN276 from the BIM: either overwrite or add to it<\/p>\n\n3D model viewer – Duplicate filter<\/em>Filters can be defined in the BIM module to reduce the view in the viewer (and at the same time the cost evaluation) to certain components. This is now even faster with the “Duplicate” function… <\/p>\n\nDiscount in invoices<\/em>Previously, only one discount % rate could be defined for an order; from now on, this can be done individually for each invoice<\/p>\n\nPrint list cost planning<\/em>The comments column was a bit narrow – now it’s wider and easier to read<\/p>\n\nApril 15, 2018<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n
New invoice type: Budget billing without measurement<\/h3>\n\n
Better management of discounts without measurement<\/strong><\/p>\n\nThe new invoice type for construction invoicing replaces the previous advance payment. Now all invoice contents, including any deductions (net\/gross) and the cash discount, can be taken into account – even if no measurements are available for the service. In the cumulative invoicing procedure, the corresponding payments actually made by the client are then taken into account and deducted in the subsequent invoices. <\/p>\n\n
