• Fixed a bug in the IFC-importer that made some models not align correctly.

Note:

On laptops with multiple graphics cards (integrated + NVIDIA) you should select "High-performance NVIDIA processor" as Preferred graphics processor for best performance/quality (Right-click on desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel and go to "Manage 3D Settings").
