Hey there!

We’ve just released a new version of the beta, maybe you have already realized? Because we enabled “Update available” notification in our UI! :robot:

Aside from all others, one of the biggest ones is support for receiving reference geometries in Revit!

You can create a new project in your workspace from now on!

Changelog

User Interface

  • Projects can be created on selected workspaces.
  • Notify the user when a new version is available.
  • Send settings were in send filters before, they moved to model card actions to prevent confusion and misbehavior on changing things.
  • Filters can be saved without sending the model.

Revit

  • Receive models as reference geometry (direct shape).
  • Performance improvements: 3x smaller sends.
  • WIP: Simpler parameter extraction for all elements
  • Fix missing support on sloped glazing.
  • Fix receiving circles.

Autocad

  • Fix receiving render materials from Rhino and Revit.
  • Fix sending arcs.

Rhino

  • Fix missing render material of layers on second send

.NET Connectors

  • Simplify DI/assembly structure, and replace Autofac with Microsoft DI.
  • Add model’s “units” information to the root object.
  • Improve root and host object builders.
  • Fix 3h session timeout on bridges.

Any feedback more than welcome! Looking forward to hearing from you to shape our next steps together!

Hey hey,

:new: features and improvements have landed with the latest release!

Revit Views Send Filter

A searchable dropdown is added to select a view to send your data! Once the model card is clicked after sent is completed, Revit switches to the view that has been selected!

.NET Connectors :rocket:

Integration of multiplexing into our deserializer, we achieved a 3x increase in speed by dynamically managing data streams. Combined with our harmonized inner caching logic, this enhancement has led to faster access times and a more streamlined data processing workflow. Hats off to @adamhathcock and @Jedd :tophat:

Here you can find more details on the relevant pull request!

:next_track_button: What’s coming on short notice

  • Archicad and Civil3D will land soon.
  • Revit categories filter on send.

Best!

:building_construction: Tekla connector is on!

Tekla (2024) is now part of our send-only reference geometry workflow as a first pass! Kudos to @dogukan :raised_hands: Click here to install, let us know what you think; it will help us shape its roadmap!
