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.

We are pleased to introduce a new single-user subscription option - a free monthly subscription!

One AutoCAD subscription and one Revit subscription per user

The subscription can be used at any time, but only once. To activate, you need to add the subscription to your cart and proceed to checkout - just like when you buy. And since the price of the subscription is zero, there will be no transition to the payment service and the subscription is activated immediately.

We hope this news will make our users happy!

ModPlus does not have many plugins for architects and designers, and this needs to be corrected. And we'll start with a small plugin that allows you to nicely design architectural documentation - Room volume.

The plugin allows you to create a non-editable geometry like DirectShape in the model and set its coloring. You can group volume views by room parameters, set the color for the entire group or for each view separately, and generate a random color.

You can see how easy it is to work with this plugin in the short demo video:

Introducing an update to the Sheet numerator plugin with a new feature - adding leading zeros!

Leading zeros can be set for both simple numbering and extended numbering. In extended numbering, leading zeros are set for each part of a composite number.

This update, as well as many others, was made based on users' suggestions. So, head over to our Telegram support chat and submit your ideas!

Introducing an update to the Totals plugin with a new feature - write back the sheet number and name, specification name

Now, once you've collected the general data and made changes, you'll see an orange icon notifying you that you can write the changes back into your drawings. To do this, simply click the Write back button. This functionality is only available for data that was received in the current plugin session. That is, the data loaded from the xml file can no longer be written back.

Also want to draw your attention to the fact that we refactored most of the code, which means that there may be bugs that we did not find during testing. If there are any errors, don't hesitate to contact us!
