New graphics sub-system allows smoother rotation, and improved drawing of airways. Airways can be drawn in cross-section view as well as plan & 3D view. NOTE : Saved views in previous version may not be compatible and will need to be resaved in the new version.
Move command can now copy whole groups of airways by fencing or select the airways and RIGHT click moving them.
Improved import function - merge function retains original fan database and option given to add new fan database.
Select EDIT function corrected and full operational for selecting and group editing airways
ICONS now used for fixed airways with a BOOST effect (green) or a regulator effect (RED)
Nodes now displayed at end of all airways.
Branch and airway numbering now entirely consistent - a checker existing in the tools menu to check for duplicate airway numbers.
Unit display accuracy (eg flow 23.446 or just 23) can now be adjusted through the OPTION menu
View ROTATION via the rotate button will now continuously rotate by pressing the RIGHT mouse button.
Lots of minor bug fixesSmoke and contaminant algorithms improved for more accurate and extensive tracking
