Current installer: Lizark Suite 1.0.28. Release notes for Lizark, Lizark Rail, and Lizark Roads Pro.

LizArk v1.0.28

  • Trimble-signed Lizark Suite 1.0.28 installer is available for download.
  • PDF and raster plan tracing: calibrated PDF vector import with near-loop, outside wall corner, capped short pier and window end-cap recovery, plus raster plan tracing kept separate from hidden geometry.
  • Windows and openings: Indian timber window depth, bay layout, fixed-bay steel grill anchoring and shutter swing clearance, plus Draw Window sash seating, library chejja head alignment, resize sill/design preservation and CAD/PDF Trace Wall opening provenance.
  • Lizark Roads Pro: graded road junctions, closed loops, curved branch joins, fixed roundabout variants, terrain grading, service junctions, turning heads, dimensional edits and CSV coordinate validation.
  • AI / MCP integration: plan image calibration with pixel coordinate mapping, interactive native tool input sessions, dialog/menu controls and setup lifecycle guards.
  • Retains continuous handrails, offline activation, seven-day trials and opt-in US wood, CFS, CLT and CMU modeling systems.

LizArk v1.0.27

  • Trimble-signed Lizark Suite 1.0.27 installer is available for download.
  • Improved continuous handrails over posts, rectangular, round and hollow railing profiles, stair baluster fitting and unwanted profile seam edges.
  • AI / MCP settings provide persistent bridge access, inspection-only mode, readiness checks and connection configuration. Node.js and the Lizark MCP companion are installed separately.
  • Improved scoped model inspection, isolated closeup views, camera restoration and model-change history for the local MCP bridge.
  • Retains offline activation, seven-day trials, structural sections, roof tile caps and opt-in US wood, CFS, CLT and CMU modeling systems.

LizArk v1.0.26

  • Trimble-signed Lizark Suite 1.0.26 installer is available for download.
  • Expanded structural sections and editable profile paths, with timber and steel stair structures and improved railing profile joins and attachments.
  • Open-web floor trusses support multiple bounded openings and supported orthogonal footprints. Foundation presets include pad, spread, strip, combined, thickened-edge slab and perimeter stem-wall choices.
  • Roof updates include optional rib detail, bounded angled concave hip layouts, closed hip tile caps and corrected cap taper and tile subdivision edges.
  • Added published dimension references to US CFS and timber sections and existing Canadian, Australian, UK and Indian starter choices. These references do not certify structural design or whole-assembly compliance.
  • Improved Lizark menu icon registration. Retains offline activation, seven-day trial enforcement and opt-in US wood, CFS, CLT and CMU construction systems.

LizArk v1.0.25

  • Trimble-signed Lizark Suite 1.0.25 installer is available for download.
  • Lizark offline activation: generate a signed, machine-bound Trial, Basic, Pro or Studio key from verified Dodo receipt details on the Buy or installation page. Requires the 1.0.25 build.
  • Seven-day trial enforcement: access expires during long-running sessions, and removing or reactivating a key preserves the original registered trial start.
  • Trial usage counters remain scoped to the trial period across calendar-month changes.
  • Settings > License has aligned activation controls and a Copy button for the full Machine ID used by the offline generator. Paid offline keys expire at the verified subscription period end.

LizArk v1.0.24

  • US framing: opt-in US wood, CFS, CLT and CMU model profiles. Apply in Settings, save with the SKP, and optionally remember defaults for new models. Existing solid geometry is preserved; presets do not certify IRC/IBC compliance.
  • US Light-Frame Wood: Nominal 2x4 and 2x6 dimensional lumber studs at 16" and 24" On-Center (O.C.) spacing with California corners, double top plates, and sole plates.
  • Framed Rough Openings: Parametric king studs, jack studs (trimmers), structural headers, and cripple studs for doors and windows.
  • Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) Framing: Standard C-studs and U-track profiles, deflection heads, and specialized opening stud grids.
  • Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT): Multi-layer solid mass timber panel generation and floor plate assemblies.
  • CMU masonry walls with configurable finish layers and material-specific concrete floors and roof panels.
  • Wall workflow expansion: Draw Wall, Trace Wall, Web Draw Wall, curves, individual stud edits, custom layer shapes, textures and compatible connected-wall updates.
  • Openings and fitting: finished curved-wall components, shaped cuts, repeated placement and compatible wall-to-roof fitting.
  • Profile cleanup: continuous finish surfaces and CFS roof seam cleanup, preserving genuine channel bends, cut boundaries and native solid volumes.
  • Recipe-aware quantity reports summarize modeled assemblies; estimating exports and cost database integrations remain future additions.
  • Floors, Decks & Porches: Staggered subfloor sheet layouts, corrugated CFS decking, under-deck support beams, post-pier footings, and attached polygon porches.
  • Continuous Roofs & Foundations: Faceted hip, gable, and shed roof envelopes with fascia, soffits, and ridge caps; attached polygon stem-wall foundations.
  • LizArk MCP Bridge: Native local Model Context Protocol integration for AI-assisted SketchUp automation.
