New script sharing in BS Contact saves memory
Memory allocation is drastically reduced. The prototype declaration is an important means to express recurring program parts in the VRML/X3D language. Programmers are using it to lay out general features in a library that can be re-used in various projects with small variations in the parameters again.

New Geometry Instancing Node in BS Contact
Using Bitmanagement's new geometry instancing node multiple copies of the same object
are rendered in one pass. This technique is mainly used for objects such as trees, grass,
or buildings that contain recurrent geometries of interest. In spite of the large number
of additions of objects, the performance of the scene is not affected significantly
as the hardware acceleration of current graphic cards in DirectX is exploited.

Additional CAD related functionalities like Orthogonal View or Line Picking
BS Contact supports now the orthogonal projection and users may select polygons per click with the line picking function.
