We are glad to present you an update of two plugins for engineering systems at once - MEP copy and MEP alignment! We will tell you more about the novelties below

MEP copy

Added new command Copy in direction, which allows you to copy elements along a linear MEP element (for example, along a pipe) and connect them:

In all commands the connection algorithm has been changed - now the connection is made not only to the element along which the copying was made, but to all MEP elements to which it is possible!

In the command Copy by levels added saving of marked levels, so that you don't have to mark them every time you run the plugin in the same file.

MEP alignment

Added a new Align vertical command to align the top point of a vertical MEP element to the bottom point.

The Multibuild command has added conduit processing and the Align command has added fitting processing.

In the Set distance command, the "Run in cycles" option has been added, and the order of operations has been changed - now the settings window is displayed first, then you select the elements to be aligned, and then the base element. With the "Execute cyclically" option, you just set the settings once, and then select the elements and the base element cyclically.

When exporting sheets to PDF with the Sheet export plugin, in certain cases the files were too large. If you used the standard Revit export (or print), the file size was smaller. Which tells us that Revit's API is clearly deficient. Therefore, in the new version of the plugin in the settings now available option "Compress PDF":

We recommend using this option if you have pictures on your sheets or if you are exporting with bitmap processing. Our tests have shown that if you compress images by 50%, the file size reduction reaches 75%! And at the same time the quality of images is almost indistinguishable!

In the new version of the Type Manager plugin, comparison of type parameters of types from several documents is now available:

And also on the "Current model" tab it is now possible to:

• Save the list of selected columns (saved automatically)
• Select several categories for filtering
• Select all type instances in the model and copy their identifiers to the clipboard.
• Edit the type name
• Change the "Workset" parameter

We present you a new version of plugin for Renga Batch Sheets Export version 2.0!

Now the plugin allows you to:

• export sheets by sections
• merge pdf
• drag and drop sheets in a list
• use sheet sets

Below we described these new features

Revit API does not allow us to define the position of a dimension relative to an element. That is, when we see that a dimension is conditionally to the left (top) or conditionally to the right (bottom) of an element, there is no way to define this in code. This limitation resulted in dimensions placed conditionally to the left (top) being processed correctly by the plugin, while those placed conditionally to the right (bottom) were not.

We are pleased to announce that in the new version of the Dim offset plugin we have developed an experimental algorithm that allows us to determine the necessary position of the dimension relative to the element and perform text offsetting more correctly:

Since the algorithm is experimental, it may not always work correctly. This will not cause errors - the offset will simply work as before. If you encounter such a case, be sure to describe it to us in the support chat.

Also in the new version we have added a separate "Offset selected" command, processing of pre-selected dimensions and changed the direction of text offset for some cases!
