PLEASE READ - Autodesk App Store Updates - Availability at the App Store may be delayed waiting App Store approval - The list below is updated & published prior to updated installers being approved by Autodesk, and being posted by Autodesk at the Autodesk App Store. If you don't see the latest version at the Autodesk App Store, check back there tomorrow. Approval can take up to 2 weeks from the time we submit an update to the App Store.

 

 

•Revit 2024 Compatible, supports verions 2021 / 2022 / 2023 / 2024

•Improved IFC Support

▪PartsLab® will now create parts from any category from a linked IFC model

•Improved Parts Creation Messaging

▪When PartsLab® creates parts, alert has instructions to view objects if Revit failed to make a part on an object. This is not a PartsLab® issue, this is a limitation of Revit.

•Improved Level Association During Parts Creation

▪When parts are created, if the level of the linked-model objects selected for Parts creation does not have a matching level in the current model, the parts cannot be assigned a level. A new drag/drop dialog with isolation tools helps associate those parts to a level in the current model.

•Additional Category / Type filtering for Making Parts

▪Has Missing Parts: Filters the Category tree below to show all valid parts Types where all objects OR some objects are missing parts. Still shows categories and types where all objects no have parts

▪Has Some Missing Parts: Filters the Category tree below to show all valid parts Types where objects in the same Type have some parts AND other objects are missing parts. Use this to see only the categories and types where you’ve already been making parts, but at least one object is missing a part.

 

If you already have version 4.2.4.6 installed, you will not need a new authorization key for Revit 2021, 2022, 2023.

Use with Revit 2024 will require registration.

Revit 2020 - previous installed version will continue to work for Revit 2020 on the same computer with newer versions installed. No additional updates for Revit 2020 will be published.

 

 

•Isolate Categories of Types without Parts - Helps find objects without parts

▪Checkbox option on the main object tree

▪The main category tree can now be isolated to display only valid object Types where at least one object does not have a part.

o'Valid object Types' means types within Revit categories that allow Parts to be created - this is a Revit limitation, not a PartsLab® limitation

▪The red count number indicates the number of objects in that type that do not have parts

•Isolate / Highlight Linked Models - Isolate or highlight any linked model

▪New right-click features in the Models Being Searched list

▪Linked models can now be isolated/highlighted in the 3D view by right-clicking in the “Models being searched” list. This may help visualize what objects need to be targeted or don’t have parts from specific linked models.

 

If you already have version 4.2.3.10 installed, you will not need a new authorization key

•Document Busy alert fixed - After doing SAVEAS, PartsLab would not open and gave an alert stating the document could not be opened.

 

 

•Significant Performance Increase - When selecting linked RVTs to populate the content tree, some complex / dense models were slow to open. These models will now open almost instantly.

•Improved error handling that will allow you to skip objects that cannot receive Parts – In some rare cases due to heavy profile modification, valid objects that should host Parts, won’t. This was preventing the entire selection from receiving Parts. You can now skip these items & see an alert with their object ID.

 

 

Tool tip updates & text clarifications.

 

 

First public release of PCL PartsLab

•Cosmetic updates, final build for public release

 

 

First public release of PCL PartsLab

•Manage invalid instances of objects that should be capable of hosting Parts

In some circumstances, one or more instances of objects that should host parts may have geometry or other abnormalities that do not allow the Parts function to create that Part. In this case you will be given the option to create Parts from all the valid instances from selected tree nodes and skip those invalid instances. Because PartsLab must examine every object instance targeted to receive Parts, this will take a little more time to run when compared to applying the 'Make Parts' function to everything in that selected node.
