Roundup – For November 13-19, 2017, New and Updated Revit Add-ins on the Autodesk App Store

The week of November 13, 2017 saw the release of two new Revit add-ins on the Autodesk App Store. Six Revit, one Navisworks add-ins were also updated.

This is also the first week that we've covered BIM 360 add-ins, and nine were added to the App Store while three more were updated.

For new Revit add-ins, SheetEz is for managing sheets.

ManufactOn BIM Viewer relates to both Revit and BIM 360, and is for integration with ManufactOn for visualizing material chains.

For new BIM 360 add-ins, Create Project features the ability to add folders to new projects from a template project, and Version Calendar displays each file version that was updated on a calendar. Several add-ins that integrate BIM 360 with other services were also added, including EgnyteHoloBuilder, Sigma Estimates 5D, SiteAwareSite Scan, and STACK Estimating.

Lastly, BIMcollab BCF Manager for Autodesk Navisworks received a relatively significant update.

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.

  • PROISAC-BIM-VDC
    • Styler (version 1.1.0)
  • DZ Studio
    • Revision + Cloud Manager (version 1.3.0)
    • Revision + Cloud Manager (Trial) (version 1.3.0)
