Roundup – For Aug 28 - Sep 3, 2017, New and Updated Revit and Navisworks Add-ins on the Autodesk App Store

The week of August 28, 2017 was a busy one for Revit and Navisworks add-ins on the Autodesk App Store. Five new add-ins were published and another ten were updated.

For new add-ins, all for Revit, Global - MEP Centerlines Off is for globally turning off all MEP centerlines in the active model, Legend Add/Remove is for batch adding or removing legends on sheets, Masonry iQ is for creating custom masonry walls with wall sections and more, Rated Doors in Walls is for identifying non-rated doors in fire-rated walls, and Remove Non-Placed Rooms is for removing all redundant and non-placed rooms from the active model.

For updated add-ins, Enscape V2.0.2 and Find and Replace Materials V1.1.0, both for Revit, and Navisworks to OBJ Converter V2.0 each featured 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 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.
