Here's an update with some more information on the Subsription Advantage pack for Revit.

--------------------------------------

Repost: http://cadalot-revitlearningcurve.blogspot.com/2009/10/subscription-advantage-pack-for-revit.html

Well Boys and Girls following on from the video conference I’ve just attended with the Revit Product team, here are the highlights of what is going to be included in the Subscription Advantage Pack for Revit 2010.

Rather than releasing separate extensions like they have done in the past, Autodesk have bundled these all up as a complete release with a number of new features which is due October 22 (2 Days time if all goes well)

improvements include:-

  • Enable shortcuts for additional commands
  • Additional shortcut commands
  • A new UI to control the shortcuts
  • Conditional formatting in all products
  • DWG export improvements
  • Text formatting – from shortcuts
  • Find and replace text
  • Model lines to Detail lines and back
  • Link file improvements
  • API improvements
  • Autodesk Revit Model Review
  • Revit DBlink
  • Image modeler will now be included so you can create point cloud data from images and
  • export this to DWG and import this into Revit
  • Wood Wall Framing tool


Revit Architecture gets all the features they wanted from a Revit Structure Port:

  • Curved beams
  • Beam copping
  • Create Trusses
  • Tag beam systems
  • Slab directions and decking
  • Slanted columns
  • Split with Gap

Revit Structure advantage features will also include:-

  • Insulation tool
  • Placing 3d beams from geometry references in imported 3d drawings
  • Control beam length tolerance
  • Wood Framing
  • Interferences of Reinforcing bars
  • Bridge Design Modules
  • "A" ansd "W" User defined parameters to be available in Schedule Field
  • Placing 3D beams from geometry references in imported 3D drawings
  • Countrification Content for China, Russia and Italy
  • ADS now available in 64 bit

Structure Extensions

  • Wood Framing
  • Interference of Reinforcing Bars
  • Bridge Design Modules

Revit MEP advantages features will also include:-
 

  • Temporary dimensions in layout mode
  • MEP performance improvements
  • Content Countrification for China, Russia,UK, International
  • New Electrical content for the US to be available as download from Subsription Centre
  • Communications, Fire Safety, Security, Data, Nurse Call, Power.

So who was there in no particular order:-

Autodesk:- Wai Chu ~ Revit Structure Product Manager, Anthony Hauck ~ BIM Design Product Line Manager, Scott Latch ~ Revit Architecture Product Manager, Richard Taylor ~ Platform Feature Product Manager, David Pothier ~ Revit MEP Product Manager, Betsy Werra, Armundo Darling & David Mills


Bloggers:- David Harrington, Gregory Arkin, Jeffrey Pinheiro (aka The revit Kid), James Van, David Light, Richard Taylor, Robert Manna, Kelcey Lemon, Robin Capper and Yours Truly.

Sorry if I missed anyone.....

Great Event can't wait to get my grubby little hands on the software
