Description of the function
To ensure correct, fast and reliable evaluation of your scaffolding planning, from version scaffmax 23 onwards, every "old" drawing is automatically checked in the background when it is opened. During this check, all scaffolding items used are scanned and the attributes are checked. Attributes are information stored in each article that is required for various functions within scaffmax. If attributes are missing or incorrect for scaffolding items, they are automatically corrected. The drawing is automatically saved after the check.
Note
If you want to be able to continue editing the older drawing with an older version of scaffmax, the drawing must be saved before loading.
If the updated drawing is saved as an older SketchUp version (e.g. SketchUp Version 2019), editing with an older SketchUp version is not possible.
