          Intuitive UI to apply filters, query data, and manage results. Inspect and delete interferences
          by isolating them in model space.
        
 
        
          Increased precision when sectioning models with adjustable grips. Change the section type and
          depth from the properties panel.
        
 
        
          Attribute positions, orientations, and property changes are automatically synchronized when
          related parameters are modified.
        
          Run Blockify within the Create Block Definition dialog box. Create new block definitions and
          check for existing blocks available for reuse.
        
 
        Group symbols to boost performance and clarity in complex drawings.
