We are excited to announce the launch of a new update : Kuba Cubed 2019 XS (V5.9). The XS stands for x-sections or cross sections, one of the most hotly anticipated features on the Kubla Cubed road-map. The good news for professional users of Kubla Cubed 2019 is that it comes at no additional cost. Update to V5.9 and the cross section element will appear as a new option in the Measurement panel.
The XS Edition has many more improvements as well as the new cross sections feature. We have also been working hard on increasing stability and improving the quality of the exports. We have now introduced the ability to export PDF and CAD drawings with carefully designed layouts to impress clients and increase understanding of the calculations among project stake holders.
The first image is Kubla Cubed's own cross section visualiser and the lower one is the cross section data exported to Excel and used to create a scatter graph.
The full list of new features and improvements can be found below and in the Update Log that can be accessed via the Help menu in the program:
