 Some new things appeared after the latest update. Here are some of the answers to the questions you are asking.
Question: What is the Skybox option in sketch under View? Answer: This is part of Photorealism. You won’t see much in regards to Photorealism in this release as the assets are not available yet. The Xactimate Team is looking at having assets ready to release in the Dec. update. This will basically give you the ability in 3D view to view the rooms with textures etc. on in the rooms. Question: What is the Split Screens in Sketch: Answer: Split screen Horizontally and Split Screen Vertically are options that show up under View in Sketch when you have more than one Sketch Tab. This allows you to split your screen either horizontally or vertically to view both sketch tabs. Question: What are the Wireframe Roof options that show up under the Roofing Tool in Sketch? Answer: These options have shown up from the last couple of updates. They can be utilized when an Exterior Level is created. They can provide a certain advantage over the traditional Sketch or Block Roofs. Imported property packages - including from third party providers - will import as wireframe roofs. Wireframe roofs will also be required for a new tool that will be released first part of next year. The Sketch team will be giving Shane Howarth and myself some in-depth training by the end of the year on this. We will make sure to include training on wireframe roofs in an upcoming XCT Quarterly Training.  This is a reminder that on July 31, 2021, support for all Xactimate 28 installations will no longer be available. In addition, end of life for Xactimate 28 will occur on December 1, 2021. On this date, the legacy comm servers that Xactimate 28 uses to communicate with XactAnalysis will be shut down, and Xactimate 28 will no longer function.
We encourage all users to upgrade to Xactimate X1 before support ends next July, even though Xactimate 28 will continue to work through November 2021. |
