What's New in Stabicad 25.05

May 5, 2025

We are happy to announce that version 25.05 of Stabicad was released on the 5th of May, 2025.

The following is a summary of the main new features included in this release and the benefits that come with it.

Highlights

  • Support for .IFC reference models in Openings for MEP!
  • There is now an integration between Stabicad for Revit and DIALux evo!

Stabicad for Revit | General

  • The way our licensing system works with Trimble ID has been improved, ensuring a smoother experience without changing how you log in or out. Now, when you access your Trimble ID, you'll see "Trimble" in the browser window instead of "Stabicad”.

Stabicad for Revit | Installation

  • During a new installation of Stabicad, Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Express Edition is set up as the default database application. However, Stabicad also supports Microsoft SQL versions from 2016 to 2022, giving you flexibility in your database choice. Additionally, the installation is compatible with Windows Server 2025 operating systems, ensuring you can run Stabicad on the latest server platforms.

Stabicad for Revit | Ventilation

  • Two issues related to selecting grilles with product codes have been resolved. Previously, you might have seen an incorrect pop-up message about parameter changes, even when nothing was altered. Additionally, the air terminal's geometry didn't always match the dimensions specified in the Edit Article section. These issues have now been fixed, ensuring a smoother and more accurate experience.

Stabicad for Revit

  • An issue with Revit's routing preferences has been fixed. Previously, when importing a Stabicad product line with identical product series across multiple categories, the routing preferences were not loaded correctly. This problem has been addressed, ensuring accurate routing preferences for seamless integration.

Stabicad for Revit | Mechanical

  • The Nodesolver tool has been improved to better preserve your custom parameters.

Previously, connecting elements with Nodesolver would clear custom parameters, even on items already placed in your model. Now, with this enhancement, your custom parameters will retain their values when Nodesolver creates connections between elements, ensuring your data remains intact and accurate.

Stabicad for Revit | Sanitary

  • At the tapwater level in StabiBASE, you can now manage the maximum allowed temperature drop in the hot water return system. Constraints for cold and hot water supply pipes are now also available at this level.

Stabicad for Revit | Electrical Installation Engineering

  • Introducing the new DIALux Evo import function in Stabicad for Revit!

This new feature allows you to seamlessly import DIALux Evo data (IFC 2x3) and integrate light fixtures into your 3D model in Stabicad.



You'll find a new Import from DIALux Evo button in the Stabicad Electrical ribbon and the Palette Center, making it easy to import light fixtures.

You can choose to place them as either hosted or in free space, depending on your needs.

Additionally, you can now define and populate Light Fixture Codes with relevant IFC information, such as Manufacturer and Type, for more detailed and organized project data.

Note: We are aware of an issue where Stabicad for Revit might crash if DIALux evo is opened prior to launching Revit 2025. To help avoid this, we recommend closing DIALux evo before starting Revit 2025.

Stabicad for Revit | StabiTOOLS

  • The Openings for MEP feature has been enhanced by adding native support for .IFC reference models.

This means you no longer need to convert .IFC files to .rvt, which often causes issues in the automatic creation of openings. With this update, you can automatically create openings using architectural and structural models from various applications, reducing risks and improving efficiency in your workflow.
