In response to the continued support and valuable feedback of the extensive Omid Negar user community, a new version of the software is being released with a range of improvements and additional features.

In this release, alongside bug fixes and performance enhancements, efforts have focused on expanding the Foundation Module and upgrading the editing and drafting capabilities across various sections of the software. The new features provide users with greater control over detailing, more customization options, and increased flexibility in preparing structural drawings.

The key changes and features in this version are outlined below:

New Features and Improvements to the Foundation Module

• Added a Transverse Rebar (stirrup/tie) plan to the Foundation Module
• Improved the performance of the Foundation Module and enhanced the editing capabilities of its components
• Added support for Face Bar reinforcement in foundations

• Added the ability to define foundation reinforcement types based on the Design Strips defined in the SAFE model

Enhancements to Detailing and Editing Tools

• Added the ability to edit section and elevation markers, as well as select the desired markers, through the Symbols tab in the Settings window for each type of structural detail
• Expanded the customization options for beam elevation drawings in the Settings window
• Added the ability to visually edit beam and column stirrups by double-clicking on their stirrup labels

Enhanced Beam and Column Detailing Capabilities

• Added the ability to define continuous, additional, and torsional reinforcement for beams based on the section names defined in ETABS or SAP2000 models during Import or Rerun operations
• Added the ability to specify different ductility levels and concrete compressive strengths (fc) for columns on each floor
• Added the ability to group columns into types based on their connected beams
• Added the ability to manually group frames for generating beam details during Import or Rerun Floor operations

Performance Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Improved overall software performance
• Fixed identified bugs and issues across various sections of the program
