Roundup – For Sep 18-24, 2017, New and Updated Revit and Navisworks Add-ins on the Autodesk App Store

The week of September 18, 2017 was a fairly slow one with regards to Revit and Navisworks add-ins on the Autodesk App Store. Two new(-ish) add-ins were published and three were updated.

For the new add-ins, Hangers is for placing hangers along MEP linear elements automatically, and the free rvt2skp is for exporting Revit models to Sketchup models. (Though new to the App Store, we posted about rvt2skp in November of last year.)

For updated add-ins, the popular Scope Box Synchronizer 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.
