New features of the plugin Context filter that you shouldn't miss:

Moving

The filter is not a windowed application, and when called, it appears taking into account the position of the cursor. The filter can now be moved around the screen. You can move it by "grabbing" for any flooded space not occupied by elements. But we also added a special field with an icon, next to the close button, by which you can always grab and move the filter.

Dynamic selection

There is now a Dynamic selection checkbox above the category tree under the search. If you enable this checkbox, then when you select positions in the tree, the corresponding elements in the model will be selected. If a category is selected, then all elements of the category will be selected, if a parameter value is selected, then all elements with this value. In the tree, you can notice an increased indentation to the left of the check-boxes - the indent is added to allow you to select a position in the tree, since when you click on the check-box, the position itself is not selected.

System types

The system element types of this category are now indicated in the list of categories in brackets. System types participate in the grouping of categories. For example, you have reinforcing bars (system type Rebar) of the category "Structural reinforcement" in your model and ifc family (system type FamilyInstance) of the same category - they will now be split in the tree.

Recently, when testing ModPlus, one of the organizations asked me the question "Is there a plugin for replacing duplicate types in families?" After the discussion, I learned that somehow in the project not only duplicate families can appear, but also duplicate types of families. Most likely these are rare cases and they occur only under certain operating conditions. And these are the conditions in this organization.

Well, since we already have a plugin that performs a roughly similar task - replaces duplicate families - it was decided to extend it as well. And now the Fix families duplicates plugin can also replace the types of families. It can be used, in principle, not only for replacing duplicates, but also simply for mass replacement of standard types.

I didn't make a video, so I am attaching a screenshot of the new functionality. I am sure that the screenshot is enough to understand how the plugin is configured and works!

Enjoy your work with ModPlus!

Meet the new plugin for Revit - Copy Parameters!

This plugin will allow you to copy parameter values ​​in various ways: within an element, from one element to several, or from a host element to child elements.

You can copy a value from one source parameter to one target parameter, or from multiple source parameters to one target parameter.

And for a more accurate selection of processed elements, we have provided filters by category and by parameters.

By tradition, we have prepared a short video demonstrating how the plugin works:

We are sure that this plugin will definitely come in handy in your work! And thanks to your feedback and comments, we will make it even better!

Enjoy your work with ModPlus!

It is almost impossible to create plugins for Renga at the moment, since Renga's API is rather poor. But sometimes, not without the help of our users, we manage to do it. And today we are pleased to present you a new small plugin created at the request of users - Levels.

This plugin is designed to simplify the work with levels, or rather, with objects belonging to the levels, and allows to invert their visibility, isolate them or select them.

By tradition - a small video demonstrating everything described:

Yesterday, 11/13/2020, the server platform was updated on the hosting on which the modplusservice.com web service is parked. Basically, it's like moving from one server to another.

Unfortunately, this move created major problems for ModPlus - almost all requests from the application to the service began to return an error. And the web service is responsible for the licensing system and the update system. All day we talked with the hosting technical support, but or they can't fix the problem, or they don't want to deal with it.

Nevertheless, from the side of the application, we found a solution to the problem and by the evening we had already released an important update. The only problem is that probably the auto-update module of version 9.0.0.0 cannot download updates all due to the same problem. Vicious circle.

Therefore, all users need to update using the Web Installer, be sure to download it from the site, since the installer has also been updated. After updating, the error will stop occurring.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

UPD:

Today, 11/15/2020, hosting technical support has finally fixed the problem, so errors will no longer occur even for those users who have not updated!
