Since recently, authorization through the Google account in ModPlus ceased to work. And the authorization pages of other social networks just looked clumsy. The problem was technical (let's not go into details) and there was nothing we could do about it. In the meantime, people kept texting us, saying that they couldn't login to their account using their Google account.

We spent a lot of time thinking about how to fix the problem and finally came up with a solution! The solution is quite complex, but the authorization process is still simple: now in the Personal Account when you click on "Authorize" will not open a box, but the authorization page in the browser. After successful authorization you will see a message that the page can be closed. Everything is simple!

But just in case, we left the old authorization option in the box, but removed the social authorization buttons from it. Special message you'll see in Personal Account

Enjoy your work with ModPlus!

The autosave service presented a couple of days ago was developed based on the R AutoSave plugin from Bim2B. After publishing the service and discussing it with our users, we concluded that most of the features were unnecessary! Revit itself saves backups, and creating a temporary file did not really do anything.

So today we updated the working libraries of Revit and removed the backups and the temporary file from the autosave service.

Although now our service is completely different from the Bim2B plugin, we decided to leave the note that this plugin was used, because that was originally the case. And also, because Bim2B are our friends!

Multiple times users have written to us asking us to make an autosave plugin. We hadn't planned to do so, since such plugins are available in the AppStore. But time passed, and we changed our minds for several reasons: one of the existing plugins is not updated (although you can make it work on new versions of Revit, but not everyone knows how), another of the existing plugins is paid, and just we wanted to make ModPlus even more useful!

We did not make a separate plugin, but made a built-in service, similar to the Coloring tabs. Which means that the service is free and is available in the settings window immediately when you install ModPlus.

The service is based on the R AutoSave plugin by Bim2B (by Dmitry Talalaev)

To make the service as clear as possible without any help, we added a description of its work directly in the settings window:

Update the Revit working libraries, enable the Autosave service and enjoy the work!

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:
