The Auto-update module is one of the most important components of ModPlus, whose task is to ensure that the user has the latest versions of all components and plugins. At the same time, it has to work in a way that does not bother users, and we have periodically made special changes for that - not to notify if changes are not important, to disable irrelevant news, not to show pop-up notifications. And all of these changes have had consequences - how do you know for sure that you have everything up to date installed? Sometimes users have such questions and have to go to the program folder and see the file versions. Comments

Today we've released a major update to the Slabs Reinforcement plugin, and this article will briefly describe what's changed and added

Today we have released an update of two plugins at once - Beams reinforcement, Columns reinforcement - and in this article we will talk about the innovations

In the last major update of the Numbering plugin, we replaced the numbering algorithm in schedules with the "Itemized" checkbox removed, which works several times faster than the previous algorithm.

But time has shown that the new algorithm does not always work. The idea of the algorithm is to delete rows of the schedule, but there are cases when it is impossible to delete rows (and it is not quite clear why), and there are cases when deleting one row leads to another new row.

So we decided to bring back the old algorithm while keeping the new one. Now, when you run the plugin in the schedule with the "Itemized" checkbox unchecked, in the plugin window there will be a choice of algorithm. We recommend using the fast algorithm first, and if it does not work in your case - then use the slow one

Today we've released an update to the Revit working libraries that contains important and interesting changes to the tab coloring service and the autosave service, and now we'll tell you more.

First - in the tab coloring service we've increased the maximum thickness value when coloring the left border. Up to 26, which allows to maintain symmetry in the icon coloring.

Second - in the tabs coloring service we added an option to paint tabs by view type:

This option suits those who often work with a single file rather than with many open files. But there is a limitation - coloring by view type will only work in the Russian and English versions of Revit, because there is no easy way to know the view type of the tab, and we had to go for a trick related to localization. If you have a different program language, write to us.

But unfortunately we didn't manage to make the coloring in the drop-down list

Third, we added the autosave service saving .os$ when you save the file manually and restoring from .os$ when you cancel the save.

How this works: you have the autosave service enabled. You open it and the service creates a file with the extension .os$. You work for some time, and if you press the "Save" button, the service recreates the .os$ file at this time. You continue working - at specified intervals, the file is autosaved, but it has no effect on the .os$ file. You decide to close the file, but do not save it (the "Save file?" box appears and you choose "No") - in this case, after closing the file, the service restores the current file from the .os$ file.

Enjoy your work with ModPlus!
