Roundup – For Apr 16-22, 2018, New and Updated Revit Add-ins on the Autodesk App Store

The week of April 16, 2018 was a fairly busy one for Revit-related add-ins on the Autodesk App Store. 4 new add-ins made their debut and another 12 were updated. 20 apparently false updates were also published.

For the new add-ins, Automatically offset in Ceiling _2017 is for automatically placing floating elements on ceilings. Extract family names from folder_2018 is self-explanatory, NavVis IndoorViewer Add-In for Autodesk® Revit® is for integrating BIM models with NavVis reality capture technology, and the free Sketchfab is for exporting Revit models directly to Sketchfab.

For updated add-ins, BIMcollab® BCF Manager for Autodesk® Revit® and BIM Track™ each received relatively significant updates.

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 primarily 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.

False updates may also be caused by glitches in the way the App Store serves up its database.

Lastly, apps are sometimes re-published with new logo artwork only.

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 problem, or developers will cease the practice, we list the developers and their add-ins that, though marked as updated, were not.
