Autodesk, BIM, Revit, Updates

Revit 2015 R2 is out and waiting for you to download – As long as you are on Subscription

The BIMsider

Yesterday Autodesk released a mid-season update or R2 as it was called for Revit 2015. This new release has some cool new features and tweaks that improve on Revit 2015 R1. Of course you can only take advantage of these new features and tweaks if you are a Subscription customer of Autodesk – See note below from Autodesk

“Note: These enhancements are available only to Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers for Revit 2015 software releases.”

One of the biggest things that came out with the Revit R2 was a new (well new to Autodesk) extension called Site Designer Extension for Revit 2015, which is a repacked versions of EaglePoint’s Siteworks.

I was going to write something witty about this but ThinkBIM beat me to it, and his is to good to beat, so I will share his masterpiece:

A Site for Sore Eyes! Revit gets some Site Tools (Finally!)

You can also find out more about Revit 2015 R2 in the Autodesk In The Fold Blog post linked below:

Autodesk Revit 2015 Subscribers get a Slew of New Capabilities with “R2” update 

You can also take a look at the ‘What’s New with Revit 2015 R2″ help page (thanks to Revit OpEd for pointing with his post on the update)

What’s New in Revit 2015 R2

Now stop reading and start downloading!

Navisworks 2015 Service Pack 3

The BIMsider

product_AutodeskNavisworks2015

Autodesk has released Service Pack 3 for all three flavors of Navisworks 2015. This service pack fixes an irritating problem that was created by Service Pack 2 of only being able to appended models/files one at a time.

The Autodesk Application Manager has these updates on it now, or you can download it from here

I have also attached the read-me file if anyone is so inclined.
