• Recipe Builder 👨‍🍳
  Building recipes on customer-level is of high value for our customers, meaning that the climate calculation will correspond to the BIM model.
  
  ℹ️  With the introduction of Recipe Builder, you can add, edit, delete, search and sort by customer-specific recipes. We will add the highest value-bringing functions in the Recipe Builder continuously.
  ℹ️ Duplicate global and company-specific recipes to speed up your recipe bank creation.
  
  📚  Introducing two concepts: Components and LCA Packages.
  Components are the fundamental resources that make up a recipe. A Recipe can contain one or more components, each of which is defined by its quantity. You will be able to set the quantity for each component in your recipe, ensuring detailed resource tracking.
  
  Each selected component is linked to a predefined Lifecycle Performance across all LCA phases. This combination of values and attributes is what we call an LCA Package. These packages automatically include key lifecycle events such as production, transportation, and disposal phases in order to streamline the assessment process for each resource
  
  🛠️  Ready-to-use Database
  The launch of Recipe Builder includes a pre-populated database of the most common components used in the construction industry, each tied to an LCA Package. This ensures that when you select a component, the associated lifecycle performance data is automatically added to your calculations.
  
  

• Dynamic Property Mapping 🧬
  For a smooth BIM & LCA workflow, property mapping is a core, allowing the BIM software and the LCA software to communicate BIM & LCA data.
  
  ℹ️  Anavitor LCA 2.0 has a future-safe foundation in place with an important property mapping upgrade, allowing flexible BIM modeling by using different modeling tools for the construction part being modeled. This means that you don't need to use the native modeling tool for what you are modeling.
  ℹ️  The property mapping upgrade supports multiple quantities for each construction type. For example you can calculate beams or columns with both m3 and m seamlessly with your BIM model.
  ℹ️  Archicad Properties are now generic English and Anavitor Properties have a new naming.
  ℹ️  'EPD Product Name' parameter is added for data back to the BIM model, allowing customers to generate EPD reports with Archicad Interactive Schedules in order to strengthen your BIM & LCA Delivery.
  
  ⚡️ The Property Mapping upgrade is critical in the release of Anavitor 2.0 for enabling the coming Recipe Builder Composite support.

• Archicad Add-On News 📢
  ℹ️  The new add-on brings back the important synchronization approach "What you see is what you get" from the BIM Model.
  ℹ️  Hotlink Support: Hotlink Management is improved with risk management to, in the Add-On, keep track of which Hotlinked elements are updated and not - with color fill. The add-on gives important instructions for opening the Hotlinked Archicad files for synchronization and populating LCA data, while maintaining Archicad's native Hotlink value of controlling Hotlink files in the master project without affecting the Hotlink source.
  ℹ️  A validation pop-up is added when synchronizing the BIM model with Anavitor LCA, showing added and missing Archicad elements in the upload. This reduces the risk of synchronizing wrong elements.

  ℹ️  Faster synchronization time between Archicad and Anavitor LCA for a more seamless BIM & LCA workflow, with % feedback in Archicad.
  ℹ️  Updated Archicad Property package in English.
