In the four weeks this roundup covers, on the Autodesk App Store, five new Revit add-ins were published and another twenty two were updated, as were three Navisworks add-ins.
For the new add-ins, BV-MASTER PURGER is for purging unused views, Scan Terrain is for creating a toposurface from a laser-scanned point cloud, STRATUS is virtual design and construction software, UL SPOT app is for accessing green building product data from SPOT, and View Creator is self-explanatory.

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.
