Below, you will find a detailed list of all the changes in this release.
Highlights of the 26.05 release
- The Lighting and Central Facilities palettes now include 10 and 12-connection junction box symbols.
- Reporting per Element has been introduced for Heating & Cooling calculations.
Stabicad for Revit and Stabicad for AutoCAD
- Core Platform Stability and Future-Readiness
To ensure long-term reliability and performance, Stabicad has been streamlined to prioritize core features and upcoming major releases. As part of this optimization, the Sprinkler Calculation module has been retired, and support for the German (DE) and Romanian (RO) localizations has been discontinued. These changes allow for a more focused development approach, ensuring that the most critical tools remain stable, high-performing, and fully compatible with future software environments.
- Indian Localization
The regional offering has expanded with the introduction of a dedicated Indian Localization. In this initial release, users in India can access a specialized package containing the UK feature set and content library, specifically configured for the requirements of the Indian market.

- Enhanced Junction Box Connectivity
The Lighting and Central Facilities palettes now include 10 and 12-connection junction box symbols. This expansion provides dedicated variants for both standard junction boxes and those with integrated lighting connection points.
For Revit users, these symbols are mapped directly to specific Electrical and Lighting Fixture families, featuring embedded 2D annotation symbols for clear documentation. This update enables the modeling of complex electrical installations and central connection points with greater precision, ensuring all connections remain valid for circuiting and Check Drawing logic.

- Detailed Element Reporting for Heating & Cooling Calculations
To provide greater transparency in system design, Reporting per Element has been introduced for Heating & Cooling calculations. While previous reports focused on entire systems or large segments, this update enables the generation of detailed data for every individual component in the network, such as specific radiators or pipe segments.
The calculation engine now tracks and outputs individual thermal and hydraulic data, including heat loss, cooling load, and required mass flow, directly into the calculation setup and the final PDF report. This improved granularity allows for faster troubleshooting and easier verification of equipment sizing, as performance can be analyzed at the element level without the need for manual segment calculations.

- Preservation of Manual Tag Rotation
An issue has been resolved where manually rotated electrical tags would automatically reset to a default horizontal or vertical orientation after being edited. Previously, modifying a tag’s group or properties via the edit dialog caused the custom rotation to be lost upon saving.
With this fix, all manual rotation angles are strictly maintained throughout the editing process. This ensures that carefully positioned annotations in crowded layouts remain intact, eliminating the need for repetitive adjustments and streamlining the final documentation phase.
StabiBASE
- The export process in StabiBASE has been improved to provide specific feedback when a file is currently in use. Previously, a generic One or more errors occurred message made it difficult to diagnose why an export had failed. The system now accurately identifies open files and provides a clear prompt to close them, allowing the export to be completed without guesswork or troubleshooting.
- A critical issue has been resolved where users created without assigned groups could become locked out of the system. To ensure continuous access, a Change User button has been added to the access rights dialog. This update allows users to switch accounts or log out even if their current profile lacks specific permissions, preventing permanent lockouts and providing a more flexible login management experience.

Trimble MEP makes Building Information Models (BIM) a reality by delivering solutions that transform disconnected workflows between stakeholders into a coordinated, constructible and actionable building model. To ensure a building is constructed in the most efficient way, the Trimble Constructible Process goes beyond BIM by creating models that use actual manufacturer content, allow for prefabrication and full clash detection, connect stakeholders to coordinate in real-time and bring the model directly from the computer to the field. This process optimizes the entire design, build and operate lifecycle.
