Introducing the redesigned data+ application

A completely rebuilt experience with unit conversion, imperial support, and enhanced documentation

September 15, 2024

We're excited to announce the completely redesigned data+ application – the most significant update to our KLH® - CLT elements viewer since its original release. Built from the ground up with modern web technologies, the new data+ delivers a faster, more intuitive experience for engineers and designers working with KLH® - CLT elements.

What's new

Unit conversion at your fingertips

One of the most requested features is finally here: real-time unit conversion across the entire application. Switch seamlessly between metric and imperial units with a single click. All tables, SVG diagrams, and PDF exports automatically update to your preferred unit system – no more manual conversions or external calculators needed.

Integrated PDF viewer

Say goodbye to downloading files just to preview them. The new data+ includes a built-in PDF viewer for all downloadable documents, including ETA certificates, declarations of performance (DOP), and verification letters. Browse, zoom, and review technical documentation directly within the application before deciding to download.

Design standard support

Working with French building codes? The new data+ now supports both ETA (European Technical Assessment) and FRA (French) design standards. Each standard displays the appropriate flag icon in the interface, making it immediately clear which regulatory framework you're working with.

PNG export

Need to include cross-section figures in your reports or presentations? The new PNG download feature exports high-resolution images of element cross-sections directly from the application. Perfect for documentation, client presentations, or quick visual references.

Improved error handling

The application now clearly indicates when a cross-section configuration doesn't have available data. Invalid surface combinations are highlighted directly in the selection dropdown, helping you quickly identify valid options without trial and error.

Under the hood

The new data+ was rebuilt using modern server-side rendering technology, resulting in significantly faster initial load times and improved SEO. Search engines can now properly index KLH® - CLT properties, making it easier for your colleagues to find exactly the information they need.

We've also introduced language-scoped URLs (/en/dataplus, /de/dataplus) that allow you to share links in your preferred language, ensuring your collaborators see the interface in the same language you intended.

Try it now

The new data+ is available immediately at klhdesigner.at/dataplus. We'd love to hear your feedback as you explore the redesigned application.
