New: Compatibility with  REVIT from AutoDesk

We’re more and more in demand for BIM so we now provide full compatibility with the most important software in this Sphere of activity: REVIT from Autodesk.

The installer is provided in \QDV\Additional Software\REVIT folder.

 

Please install as follows:

 

To install QDV add-in for REVIT you need at least REVIT 2017 (tested also with 2018, 2019 and 2020)

Then locate your folder C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\XXXX

Where XXXX is the year of your version of REVIT and paste entire content of current folder to it.

 

Start REVIT, you'll be asked to allow new plugin at first startup. Just answer 'YES' and you'll see a QDV button in the add-in tab of Revit.

Under REVIT, go to the Schedule branch of a project and name some columns as qdv_qty, qdv_title and optionnaly qdv_descr which stand respectively for Quantity, Reference and Description.

When in such a schedule table, just click the QDV button to copy entire data to QDV.

Under QDV just paste to the minutes to get data from REVIT.

 

New: Extended the user API with the support for scenarios

IEstimate.Scenarios property was added which returns a new IScenarios object. It allows for enumerating scenarios, reading their values and applying them to Quantity column.

This Guid is different than the HexID. The HexID has a format based on the WBS tree structure and it can change, for example, when the estimate is repaired. On the other hand, the format of the Guid has no meaning and it will never change.

New: Extended the user API so that be possible to edit sets of fields.

Now it’s possible to get more information about sets of fields, especially about time frame sets. New properties were added to the SetOfFieldsInformation class: UseCurves, DefaultCurve and TimeFrameHeaderFormat.

You can now edit properties of sets of fields, previously they could be only read. The new IMinutesFieldManager.UpdateSetOfFields method was added.

Here’s a sample macro code for changing a time-frame set of fields:

 

Dim fieldsMan As Fields.IMinutesFieldManager = Es.GetMinutesFieldManager()

 

Dim tFrame As SetOfFieldsInformation = fieldsMan.GetSetOfFields("TIMEFRAME")

tFrame.DescriptionShort &= "_1"

tFrame.NumberOfPeriods = 4

fieldsMan.UpdateSetOfFields(tFrame.Mnemonic, tframe)

 

fieldsMan.ApplyChanges()
