​

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 🧮 Fixed a bug where adding a special condition caused total emissions to increase instead of decrease. Yes — wrong direction. Now correctly subtracts.
• 🧱 Fixed a bug where the special condition (S) button disappeared when a construction was dropped onto a parent/collection row in the inventory. Drop where you like — the button stays.
• 📐 Fixed an issue in Speckle quantity extraction (mængdeudtræk) that produced incorrect quantities on certain models.
• 🤖 Fixed the AI Assistant crashing with “Stream error occured” for some users.
• 💾 Fixed a bug where users were unable to save constructions in certain projects.
• 🪟 Fixed white-background text blocks appearing inside info modals, breaking the visual consistency of the modal.
