Enhancements:

Dynamo for Revit
Integrated Dynamo Revit 2.3 to Revit 2020.2.
A new Dynamo node called ‘Selection – All Elements of Category in View’, which allows for selection of all elements of a designated category in a view, is available.
A new Dynamo node called ‘Element-Delete’, which allows for deleting elements through a Dynamo script, is available.

File Corruption
Enhanced data storage implementation to prevent missing element file corruption.

MEP Analytical Systems
Added support for specifying an absorptance value for architectural element types and passing it to the Systems Analysis feature.

An enhancement to the Route Analysis Path of Travel tool allows you to add and edit waypoints on an existing Path of Travel line so that it goes through specific points along the Path from A to B.
Two new APIs, PathOfTravel.FindStartsOfLongestPathsFromRooms() and PathOfTravel.FindEndsOfShortestPaths() support streamlined route analysis workflows to find longest paths from locations in rooms to destinations (such as exit doors).

Schedules
The currently active cell and row are highlighted so that they can be easily found when working in a large schedule.
Added the ability to freeze (lock)/unfreeze the schedule title and header in place to keep them visible when scrolling through a long schedule.

The Revizto Export Scheduler does a great job at automating export tasks from Revit and Navisworks direct into Revizto.

But what if you want to decommission a machine that is doing repetitive export tasks? And move those export tasks to another machine?

Overview
You just need to copy the .db files from the Source Machine to the Target Machine.

Note: The Target Machine will need to have an almost identical environment as the Source, especially in terms of file locations and BIM360 cache folder locations.

Here is how you might do it…

Step by step

On The Source Machine (the one with current Revizto Scheduler jobs)

Confirm that a given scheduled task runs successfully by using the Run button
Revizto Scheduled Tasks are stored inside the Revizto Working Folder, .db file. So we need to determine which folder to work in…
To determine which Revizto Project is being scheduled, look at the name to the right of the -> in the list. In the case below, the Revizto Project Name is “Scheduler_Connection_Status”
Identify the Revizto Project ID + location folder of that particular project (from Revizto Viewer, Project Open, hold mouse over the project thumbnail to see the ID)
In the above image, the project ID has been identified as a ‘60557’, and location folder is R:\Revizto\60557. Now, navigate to the Revizto Working Folder (location can be found in Revizto Preferences – General). Inside the Revizto Working Folder, look for the relevant project folder:
For safety – close, Revizto and forcibly close the background services “ReviztoService.exe” and “ReviztoServiceGUI.exe”
Navigate into this folder – there is a .db file in there. Copy it somewhere safe.
Proceed with next set of steps on the Target Machine…

On the Target Machine

Open the relevant Revizto project on the Target machine. Ensure the model is downloaded correctly (this creates the local cache folder). Now, close Revizto.
For BIM 360 tasks, ensure you have at least opened each model once on the Target machine (to create the cache)
Using steps 4 to 7 in the section above, close Revizto services, and find and backup the .db file somewhere safe
Now, copy and paste the .db file from the Source machine into the Target project folder
Launch the Revizto Export Scheduler from the desktop
Confirm the job has been imported
Test running the Scheduled Task on the Target Machine

If you experience an error like this, it is probably because your username is different on the new machine:

I fixed this by creating a dummy folder structure, and then adding the symbolic link. Keep in mind that different versions of Revit have different cache folder locations…

If this still doesn’t work for you, you might consider copying the entire Revizto Working Folder from one machine to another.

Navisworks Manage 2019 Update 4 Direct Download Link

November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 Luke Johnson

Fixes

When loading merged models from BIM 360 Glue, selection sets and clash tests that
were created with Navisworks 2018 or earlier now show and maintain the correct
individual model or file selections (NW-54655).
Changing a Timeliner appearance using the Configure tab no longer causes a crash
when .NET Framework 4.8 is installed (NW-54941).
Navisworks will no longer run out of memory and crash when saving an NWF file larger
than 2GB to an NWD format (NW-55133).
Patched a potential security vulnerability in the licensing code (NW-55168).

Known Issues

If Clash Detective is opened when a model is already open, Navisworks may crash. This
is caused by .NET Framework 4.8 being installed, which can be fixed by installing the
appropriate Windows Update. See KB4486153 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4486153/microsoft-net-framework-4-8-on-windows-10-version-1709-windows-10-vers)

Revizto 4.11 Released with Ability to Create Stamp Issues Directly from Revit and Navisworks

October 18, 2019October 18, 2019 Luke Johnson

When Revizto Stamps were first released, I didn’t fully understand how powerful they would become – but now, Stamps are probably the most widely used method of issue creation in the entire Revizto ecosystem. A Stamp is basically an “Issue Template”. If you have a particular type of issue or problem or question that regularly comes up on your projects, you create a Stamp so that you don’t have to keep entering the same data over and over again. These stamps can be pre-tagged, prioritised, and pre-assigned, and that creates real efficiencies across your entire project team and lifecycle.

Up until now, Stamps could only be created inside the Revizto Viewer – but as of Revizto 4.11 (released today), you can now create a Stamp issue from Revit or Navisworks (or other software with the Revizto plugin).

Here’s how to do it in Revit (the workflow is similar in all platforms):

Open a Revit project that is connected to a Revizto project
While reviewing the model or drawings, click the New Issue button
On the issue creation screen in Revizto, click the ST button (this allows you to apply the Stamp to the new issue):
Select the relevant Stamp from the list:
Optionally edit the pre-filled issue title to add more detail
Add any desired markups with the markup tools
Click Done

The above workflow can also be performed from a Revit Sheet (creating an issue on the 2D sheet that has been synced from Revit to Revizto):

If you want to adjust the Stamp pin position (for 3D issue):

Go to the issue
Click 3D on the far left
Click Update 3D at the top
Move the pin in 3D space
Click Done

The above workflow to move a pin position is similar for 2D issues, but you should click on the Markup icon on the far left, and then click Edit Markup at the top of screen.

This new feature will further increase the already widespread use of Revizto Stamps, and in turn improve the consistency of data applied to issues… regardless of what platform you are using to review or markup your designs!

Also in this new version is enhanced Procore integration, and Vectorworks 2020 support. Full release notes copied below…

Revizto BIM360 Integration Released – Here’s How to Use It

September 20, 2019January 22, 2020 Luke Johnson

Following the integration of Revizto with Procore and Box, starting today you can also connect Revizto to BIM 360 Docs and BIM 360 Team. This will allow you to browse BIM 360 hosted files within Revizto, attach them to issues, and convert hosted PDFs to sheets that you can easily markup.

Download it from here

This opens up some exciting possibilities:

Upload PDFs from your project into BIM 360 Docs, and then automatically sync and convert those sheets to Revizto 2D sheets. You can then markup these sheets with the Revizto issue tracker. You could even use the extremely fast ‘viewport sync’ from the Revizto Revit addin to actually enable those PDFs for 2D to 3D overlay. This potentially provides a massive performance enhancement to the existing Revizto to Revit sheet export process.
Store commissioning documents, specifications, and other project documents on BIM360, and then attach those live documents to issues in the Issue Tracker
Take the BIM 360 Docs offline to your device using Revizto, including on our iPad app. In this way, you can take the 3D model, drawings, and Documents offline to the device and take them onsite easily. All interactions with the issue tracker will ‘sync’ when an internet connection becomes available.
