New plugin for Revit. Section annotation

Published: 16 July 2021

Annotate drawing in Revit is a very routine activity. And if it is possible to automate this process, then only within certain cases. But in ModPlus, we can't create plugins for certain cases that will work for some users and not for others. That's why we try to make plugins as configurable as possible - so that users can customize them for themselves.

And today we are pleased to present you our new development - the Section annotation plugin!

The plugin is designed to speed up the process of annotating sections. The basic idea is that users will be able to create special configurations with annotation rules to suit their needs. At the moment the plugin handles a small number of categories, but we hope for feedback that will help us make the plugin more flexible.

And by tradition, we've made a review video:

Auto-update module. Fewer notifications

Published: 11 July 2021

Home autoupdate

Installing up-to-date updates is one of the main concerns of ModPlus. It is very important that users have all the relevant parts of the software installed and so it is very important that the auto-update module always works. But many users didn't like the fact that the module shows pop-up notifications about updates when they are working - the notifications are distracting - and users disable the auto-update module in every way possible. We spent a lot of time thinking how to circumvent this problem, and today we are pleased to present a new version of the auto-update module.

Now if the Configurator or a supported product (AutoCAD, Revit, Renga) are opened and there are new updates, the auto-update module will not show a popup notification but will download these updates and change its icon in the system tray

tryUpdatesExample

Once the Configurator or supported product is closed, the auto-update module will install the downloaded updates. Thus there will be no pop-up notifications while users are working.

An important difference - if a new plugin was released, the window suggesting installation of the plugin will now be displayed even if the Configurator or a supported product is open, so that the installation files will be downloaded immediately.

Revit. Reinforcement. Shapes of longitudinally bent rebars

Published: 20 June 2021

Today we released minor cumulative updates to all plugins in the line of reinforcement - we fixed some bugs and made a couple of changes to the code, which users probably do not even notice... But we would not write a whole article on the site because of this, if not a significant change - now you can set the preferred shape of longitudinally bent (bent "in the bottle") rebars!

BottleRebars

Those who have been using our plugins for a long time know this problem and know how long it took us to find a solution. So we looked at the problem from a different angle and suddenly we had an epiphany! And now there won't be dozens of new shapes being created when creating longitudinally bent rods! We are probably even happier about this fact than all our users put together!

This news is valid for the plugins Walls reinforcement and Columns reinforcement.
