[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

LotSpec Dispatch 3.0.1

Released 1/20/2022

Fixes

• Fixed an issue for Lot jobs created from LotSpec Dispatch where the mirror plan setting was missing from the note file resulting in the incorrect display of the mirror project values when viewed within View Job Summary details.

• Known Issue: Lot Jobs that are not created using LotSpec Dispatch will show incorrect mirror plan information when viewed from within the View Job Summary details, however the job will still process correctly with respect to intended mirror project settings. View Job Summary is available from within LotSpec Dispatch and the Remote Monitor feature for LotSpec for Revit.

LotSpec for Revit version 2022.1

Released 12/3/2021

New Features

Lot Job Solve

The Lot Job solve type delivers enhanced production level publishing automation to the Revit platform and aims to produce no touch lot specific results that are not achievable using the Project solve method today. LotSpec users can now predefine additional job details such as job name, job location, documentation output settings for PDF & DWF, project information parameter changes and more. When using Lotspec Remote, users can define email settings for job completion notification with attached documentation and can solve directly to LotSpec Remote without using LotSpec Dispatch.

Within the LotSpec Settings dialog, the Lot Job tab provides settings to control the available information and functionality of the Lot Job solve. LotSpec users can define which project parameters will be available within the job details list and which export sheet set(s) or PDF export setup(s) to use when creating documentation. Multiple sheet sets can be published at once to improve the efficiency of coordinating with various trades and LotSpec rules can be applied per sheet set to better handle scenarios where more or less sheets may be desired, such as alternate foundation types or optional second floors for example.

Option Packages

Option Packages can drive multiple option selections at once to enforce established sales standards for community defaults or specification levels. Multiple Option Packages can be applied together while also allowing for additional individual option selections if needed. Option Packages can be organized by color to help visualize the source for certain option selections and to better understand potential conflicts due to underlying option rules.

New Video: Option Packages

Section & Elevation Marker Utility

The Section & Elevation Marker utility improves the handling of vertical view plane markers during the annotation process and will streamline how users select, move and interact with them. LotSpec users can easily select the view plane markers to be moved, set their default location so that they always return after being moved prior to solve, move view planes more precisely between 2 snapped points, open the selected view, duplicate the selected view and more.

New Video: Section & Elevation Marker Utility

Enhancements

• A new Don’t Mirror toggle has been added to the Project Files tab within LotSpec Settings to disallow mirroring of a specified project file. This should be especially beneficial for those who manage project details in a separate project and do not wish for those details to be mirrored when using Multi-Project solve, even when the user chooses to Mirror within the solve dialog.
• The LotSpec Settings dialog now includes a Remote tab to organize and define any settings related to LotSpec Remote usage if being used. Any Remote settings previously located under the General Settings tab have been moved to this new location.
• Enhanced the Option Label “On” buttons to allow users to only show labels for selected elements as opposed to all elements within the view.
• LotSpec Remote will now always prioritize pending Lot Job types over Option Set Job types so that the more time sensitive and business critical job types don’t get stuck behind potentially hours of drafting related updates that are already in the queue.
• The LotSpec Dispatch utility has been updated to 3.0 to fully support the new Lot Job solve experience and Option Packages functionality for both the Revit and ACA platforms. LotSpec users will now have a common Lot Job submission experience across all LotSpec applications.
• The LotSpec Dispatch utility job status display page has been reworked to present more job related information. Pending jobs can now be placed on hold and resumed at a later time. All jobs can now be archived for record keeping or removed without navigating to the queue folder to do so. The Remote Monitor feature within LotSpec for Revit will also reflect these status display adjustments.
• The LotSpec Dispatch utility branding is now consistent with the LotSpec core products.

Fixes

• LotSpec will now prevent users from applying an Object Option to a Project Base Point, Survey Point, or Internal Origin Point. LotSpec will now also skip over the Internal Origin Point when solving scope box options to avoid the possibility of related errors.
• LotSpec Remote will now properly suppress errors & warnings that are “suppressible” when solving Lot Jobs as it already does for Option Set Jobs which will help prevent LotSpec Remote from becoming frozen until manually resolved.

Upgrade Note

• If using Pipeline X-RAY for comparison group work, customers must upgrade both LotSpec for Revit and Pipeline X-RAY to 2022.1 together for this release specifically.

LotSpec for Revit version 2022.0

Released 7/23/2021

Enhancements

• The Active View Property Option dialog will now provide visual feedback of which view is being targeted for improved validation.
• Added a ‘Select’ button to existing Option tools to allow users to select additional elements to apply the Option to without having to rerun the command each time.

LotSpec for Revit version 2021.2.1

Released 11/15/2021

Fixes

• LotSpec Remote will now properly suppress errors & warnings that are “suppressible” when solving Lot Jobs as it already does for Option Set Jobs which will help prevent LotSpec Remote from becoming frozen until manually resolved.

LotSpec for Revit version 2021.2

The Auto Dim Release 6/9/2021

New Features

Interior Auto Dimensioning

LotSpec’s new Interior Auto Dimensioning capability can help ease the creation of interior wall dimensions due to the displaced nature of a fully optioned project and allows users to focus more of their dimensioning related effort around the common content area. Interior Auto Dimensions work by converting ordinary detail lines that were drawn in a floor plan view into dimension strings. Detail lines that have been converted with the new Interior Dimension tool will be replaced with dimension strings during solve and will reference any Revit walls that the detail lines intersect according to the interior auto dimension settings.

Among the many new settings available for interior auto dimensions is the Wall Dimension Mode which provides control over which side of the wall the dimension will reference such as exterior, interior, both, or none. Many levels of override control are also available such as project, view, wall type, and selected wall element to provide flexibility of how and where the walls will be dimensioned throughout the project. Interior auto dimensions and interior wall overrides are available as option labels and can also be managed from within the option browser.

Interior Dimensions within Exterior Dimension Strings

With the introduction of the interior auto dimension, it is now possible to include interior wall dimensions into exterior auto dimensions as an additional dimension string. This is accomplished by drawing detail lines just inside the perimeter of the floor plan, converting them with the Interior Dimension tool and assigning them to a specific exterior orientation.

Hide Dimensions Setting

A new Hide Dimensions setting is available for both interior and exterior auto dimensions that will prevent dimension values of a specified size from displaying in the dimension string, such as wall thickness that is less than or equal to 3 ½” for example.

Relocate Dimensions Setting

A new Relocate Dimensions as Needed setting is available for both interior and exterior auto dimensions that automatically relocates dimension text that is too big to fit within the extension lines or overlaps with another dimension.

Omit Overall Setting

A new Omit Overall setting is available for exterior auto dimensions and can be used to hide the outer most overall exterior dimension string for any exterior orientation. This will be useful in circumstances where fully dimensioned floor plans of certain scales need a little more room to properly fit on a sheet.

Enhancements

• A new Auto Dimension panel has been added to the LotSpec menu to house all settings and tools related to auto dimensioning. Auto dimension settings will no longer appear within the LotSpec Settings dialog. The Exterior Opening Dimension tool has been moved to the Auto Dimension panel.

Fixes

• The Find & Replace utility now properly updates Batch options and Solve Routines which will also be included in the Find & Replace activity log. The Find & Replace utility has also been revised to prevent the partial replacement of Option Codes.
• The use of the @ symbol for relative numeric values now works properly for Property and Batch Property options.
• Option Group and Option selection rules will now be properly updated when renaming Option and Option Group codes.

LotSpec for Revit version 2021.1

Release Date 2/19/2021

Enhancements

• LotSpec for Revit is now also available in the Autodesk App Store as a Trial.
• A new setting to ‘Reload Linked CAD files after Option Sets Solve’ has been added to the General tab of the Settings dialog. This setting will be toggled on by default to align with previous release functionality but can be toggled off for scenarios where manually reloading the CAD files may be preferred, such as avoiding the ‘Nothing found in Model Space’ related solve warnings that would occur when using sheet based CAD links for schedules.
• When renaming Option Sets in the Options Palette, LotSpec will now update the Export View Option Sets settings defined within the Master Set Settings.
• LotSpec for Revit is now digitally signed and certified.
• The LotSpec for Revit License Activation Wizard now includes a Software EULA page and a “Request Trial License” button which will provide a request form that will automatically email the user a trial license key.
• The About dialog has been revised to allow the user to Activate a license in addition to being able to Deactivate a license and also includes a new Purchase License link that will navigate the user to the Simpson Strong-Tie Builder/LBM Solutions Marketplace.
• The Solved Project Options list that would lock the Settings dialog when active in a solved project has been removed. The LotSpec ribbon menu will always be disabled when active in a solved project that is located within the SOLVED or SOLVED SETS folders.
• The LotSpec and Remote Server applications have been combined into a single installation and a single license key can now control what products become available to the user depending on features requested. Existing Remote Server users can email lotspec.support@strongtie.com to have older Server keys replaced when upgrading to this new version.
• Solves performed on the LotSpec Remote Server will now log to the Solve History for the project being solved.

Fixes

• When cloning Revit linked views on a sheet using Quick Sheets, LotSpec will now only assign the original view scope box to new views if they are of the same view plane orientation, such as Front to Back or Left to Right. This will prevent issues with skewed cloned views when the new view is of a different view plane orientation, which is not a problem with CAD linked views that are all in plan orientation.

LotSpec Remote Dispatch version 2.0.1

Released 10/27/2020

Enhancements

• Remote Dispatch will now prompt the user with an error log if issues arise from copying job folders. This will make it easier to troubleshoot the nature of the problem if it occurs.
• Remote Dispatch will now automatically trim any leading or trailing spaces from the job name when submitting a job, which would produce an error and not allow the job to be processed correctly.

LotSpec for Revit version 2021.0.1

LotSpec for Revit Version 2020.2

Released 8/14/2020

New Features

Multi-Project Framework

The new LotSpec Multi-Project framework gives users the flexibility to break overly large and complex projects down into more manageable project files by providing the ability to control option selections and solve behavior for all project files within a single Multi-Project solve dialog. A Multi-Project solve can occur from within any of the project files and any or all project files can be solved for simultaneously.

One approach to using Multi-Project may be to break a project down by discipline due to the system performance challenges of managing architecture, structure, MEP, and anything else within a single project. Another approach may be to break a project down by compounding option types due to the organizational challenges of keeping all model elements for all foundation variations in a single project, such as slab, crawl, partial buried, full buried, and finished basements.

File and folder organization for a Multi-Project framework will be similar to that of a single source project with the notable difference being that each additional project file will reside within the root project folder. All project files will reference the same lotspec.xml for option and option set information. As Multi-Project solves and Option Set solves are performed, copies of the project files will also reside in the SOLVED and SOLVED SETS folders respectively.

For existing LotSpec users, there will be a subtle workflow change when using the Option Set or Multi-Project solve dialogs that requires the user to specify at least one project file before solving can continue. Existing single source projects are still considered project files, which means the source file resides within the root project location. If the active project has not been added to the Project Files tab within LotSpec Settings, the Option Set and Multi-Project solve dialogs will direct the user to do so before continuing. When using the Project Solve dialog for the first time, the active project will be assigned to the Project Files setting automatically.

Solve Routines

The new Solve Routines functionality allows users to apply their own Dynamo scripts and Macros to the solve process to help boost user efficiency. Any number of Solve Routines can be bound to option rules that trigger before or after the solve & mirror process to extend and customize existing production workflows.

Link Manager

The new Link Manager utility provides much needed tools for managing link visibility inside project views and for repathing any Revit or CAD links that may be missing or must be relocated, which has historically been tedious and cumbersome to accomplish. The new Find/Replace feature allows a user to find and replace any portion of a link path with something else. The new Pick New Folder feature allows the user to define a new folder location for the selected links and assumes all selected files will exist at that new folder location. The Link Manager also allows the user to manually toggle specific views to show or hide Revit links from a single location. As an added bonus, the new Hide/Show by Option Set feature will intelligently toggle only the display of option set links for views that are named according to that option set.

FBX Export on Solve

In addition to IFC file exports, LotSpec for Revit now allows for FBX files to be exported during the solve process to help automate the creation of hand-off files for the marketing teams. Similar to the IFC files, a 3D view will be required to define the visibility and look of the FBX file export.

Reload Project File Links

The new Reload Project File Links tool was introduced in conjunction with the Multi-Project solve capability that allows a user to quickly reload linked project files that become unloaded during the solve process since only one instance of a Revit project can be open at a time. The Reload Project File Links tool can be found within the Solve panel dropdown and is designed specifically for project file links that are associated with multi-project workflow.

Select <Not Associated> Utility

The new Select <Not Associated> utility allows users to select all face based families and model lines that have a <not associated> workplane reference to help quickly identify problematic project elements that may not work well with scope box options. These elements are often restricted to the original sketch plane they were created on and will require a reassociation to some other selectable object in order to work with scope box options.

Check Used Option Sets

A new right click feature called Check Used has been added to the Option Sets solve dialog which allows users to quickly make option set selections based on any views found in the active project that were created using the CAD Linked or Revit Linked Views commands. In most cases, this will save time on the overall option set re-solve process after the initial master set sheet work has been previously established.

Solve On Server

For users of the LotSpec Remote Server application, it is now possible to solve option sets directly to the Remote Server from within the LotSpec Option Sets solve dialog without requiring the use of Remote Dispatch. Option sets will be solved in-place relative to the specified project location. The Solve On Server feature will only be available when the new Dispatch Queue setting is defined within the LotSpec Settings.

Server Monitor

For users of the LotSpec Remote Server application, the new Remote Server Monitor can be used to view the status of all jobs submitted to the Remote Server without the need to use Remote Dispatch to do so. The Remote Server Monitor displays job status by Pending, In-Process, Complete and Failed. Both lot jobs and option set jobs will be visible together which can be refreshed, deleted or retried at any time.

Enhancements

• The visibility of solved Option Set Revit links is now automatically controlled when inserting new links and creating new views via the Revit Link Views tool. Links will only be shown in their respective Option Set views.
• The “Preserve Worksets in Solved Project” setting has been removed from the general settings tab as worksets will always be preserved when solving workshared projects now.
• The requirement to define DWG export views per option set setting has been removed from the master set settings dialog as LotSpec will now export all DWG files specified in the export views setting. Additionally, the option sets solve dialog will no longer present a list of specific views to export per option set. This simplification of project setup for DWG workflows was needed to facilitate the multiple project file UI adjustments, but should be less confusing for the end user. When performing additional option set solves, use the new Check Used feature to ensure LotSpec will only solve for any DWG files being utilized in the project for documentation.
• For users of the LotSpec Remote Server, a new Dispatch Queue setting has been added to the LotSpec Settings dialog which when specified, will enable the new Solve on Server ability within the Option Sets solve dialog.
• For users of X-RAY, the X-RAY database path can now be defined within the LotSpec Settings dialog which gets stored as a project setting in the lotspec.xml file. If the database location remains accessible on the local area network, any job submissions sent to the LotSpec Remote Server using X-RAY reporting will automatically find and use the specified X-RAY database.
• Adjustments have been made to the option sets by sheet view user interface to better accommodate the new project files selection.
• The SolveHistory.xml file has been modified to include project file name which will be helpful when troubleshooting multi-project solves. The Solve History feature has also been relocated to the Solve Panel dropdown menu.
• The Purge Unused dialog now provides the user with the ability to filter .RVT files separate from .DWG files. For users who work with CAD Linked master set projects, this can be useful for quickly clearing out option set .RVT project files prior to archiving for file size optimization.
• The Option Set Links feature has been removed from the master set tools panel to become the new Link Manager utility. As part of this removal, the ability to Insert Solved Option Set Links has been moved to the Revit Link Views dialog which will streamline the creation process for Revit linked option set documentation.

Fixes

• Property Option error handling has been improved for scenarios where a used family or project parameter is removed after the property option definition is created. The option browser, error labels and solve dialogs will now properly notify the user of the property option error when this occurs.
• The Reload function within the Link Manager, formally the Option Set Links tool, no longer produces an error when there are imported CAD links within the project. LotSpec no longer assumes that imported CAD files can also be option set links.

Remote Dispatch Version 2.0

Enhancements

• LotSpec Remote Dispatch is now able to process both single source and multi-project job types.
• The ability to solve master jobs from LotSpec Remote Dispatch has been removed as both LotSpec for Revit and AutoCAD have the ability to send option set jobs to the server.
• LotSpec Remote Dispatch 2.0 is to be used with LotSpec & Remote Server versions 2020.2 and newer.

Remote Server for Revit Version 2020.2

Enhancements

• The user version has been upgraded to align with LotSpec for Revit 2020.2
• LotSpec Remote Server is now able to process X-RAY reports using the database settings stored in the lotspec.xml file.
• When clicking the Start button to turn the Server on, the Server will now perform a check to ensure that the active project has been saved and will notify the user if this has not been done.

• You may now use the purge unused feature to delete unused option set views from the project and unused files from the project folder.
• When renaming option sets, LotSpec will now automatically update the SOLVED SETS folder name, all option set file names, all project option set view names and any parameters specified in map parameters that reference option set values, such as sorting parameters.
• LotSpec now creates supporting .XML files adjacent to each solved option set Revit and .DWG file to assist the new CAD link views and Revit link views features.
• The mirror solve functionality has been improved to better handle elements that are not easily seen by the user and also for better error handling.
• The original preview solve & partial solve features have been returned to the solve panel.
• You may notice that several command names, dialog headers, and tooltips have been revised for uniformity & spelling.
• You can now access the LotSpec help site directly by hovering over the ribbon menu while pressing the F1 key.
