This build has some new features and fixes. The first feature is cross-engine mouseclicks, which allows you to interact with objects outside the current sim engine, such as opening a door in another building. This build also introduces malfunctions, currently only elevators use this, but when enabled, elevators randomly malfunction and require intervention to get them operable again (the malfunction involves emergency stopping the elevator, switching the run state off, resetting the queues, and turning off the fan - any more ideas would be very helpful). External ambient sounds were added to the Glass Tower building, for lobby-level street noise, and also high winds on the roof. The elevator fan feature has been added to the elevator editor.
I'm also seeing if I can get the Mac version of Skyscraper signed properly, so that it won't show up with errors when trying to launch (on Mac you need to allow it to run).
For more information on the other recent features, such as VR support, primitives/shapes and hydraulics, see the previous build post.
