Roundup – For Aug 21-27, 2017, New and Updated Revit Add-ins on the Autodesk App Store (Updated)

The week of August 21, 2017 was a moderately busy one for Revit add-ins on the Autodesk App Store. Two new add-ins were published and nine were updated.

For new add-ins, Copy scope boxes from linked file 2018 is self-explanatory, and Text Properties is for changing the text case of text notes.

For updated add-ins, Ultimate Plugin Suite received a relatively significant refresh.

Apparent False Updates

Most weeks there are a number of add-ins listed on the App Store as having been updated when they appear not to have been. We call these false updates.

We suspect false updates occur because developers have the ability in the App Store database to mark an 'update' without changing the version number. This is advantageous to developers because it moves their add-ins up in the App Store  'Newest' list. Also, authors of multiple add-ins on the App Store may use the practice to group their add-ins together. And some may mistakenly not change the version number for a legitimate update.

We verify false updates by comparing the current version numbers with our last posts about the add-ins. This is work for us, though, hopefully, value for you.

In the hopes that the App Store will someday fix this loophole or developers will cease the practice, we list the developers and their add-ins that, though marked as updated, were not.
