Extra Tube&Fittings components have been added to catalogs as well as modeling intelligence enhanced bringing the ability to achieve any Tube&Fittings projects. 

Direct creation of the following components added from a tube:

• Steel and timber base plates

• Board retention clip

• Double coupler

• Swivel coupler

• Putlog coupler

• External Joiner

Direct creation of the following components added from double and swivel couplers:

• Tube - swivel couplers adjust the swivel head automatically on the tube creation (for tube bracing cases)

• Ledger

• Guardrail

In addition, swivel couplers adjust swivel heads & position (position changes for the double couplers also) on the tube creation.

It's possible to switch between rigid and swivel couplers from the contextual toolbar. A wide variety of couplers can be also created from a standard now.
