What's Hot in Revit Add-ons for October 2016

In these monthly roundups, we usually only include posts that were published during the month being reviewed. This month we're making an exception though because our Autodesk Product Enhancements for Revit 2017 Roundup post spent the entire month in our Trending for the Last 7 Days list, even though it was originally published way back in early May. In fact, it received the most pageviews during October.

Also for the first time this month, we're including the dates of the posts in our bar chart graphic.

Next up was our take on the Revit 2017.1 Release, from an Add-ons Perspective.

For individual add-ins, the first Revit exporter for SketchUp we've seen, the SimLab SketchUp Exporter for Revit, received the most pageviews. (As an aside, we'll be posting about a free alternative tomorrow.)

Surprisingly, ARCHICAD is always a popular topic here on Revit Add-ons, and, last month, the ARCHICAD Connection Add-in for Revit 2016 placed 4th in our What's Hot list. (As another aside, we'll be publishing news on the 2017 version of the ARCHICAD add-in tomorrow.)

Rounding out the list this month are a couple of free add-ins, Align Views, for aligning views on multiple sheets, and Lights, an LED luminaire library from Winled.
