Publish Updates

The following is a list of updates related to the STRATUS Addin for Revit and AutoCAD used for publishing models to STRATUS. This information will help companies determine if they want to update software or wait until the mandatory quarterly update is made available. Customers who encounter a publish issue that has been fixed by an updated version of the software will be required to install the latest software version.

Updated Published Views

When the New Construction phase is not part of the published view, it will not display in the STRATUS View drop-down list on the Assembly/Package viewer.

Updated How “Revit is always right” Setting Handles Revit Assemblies

Updated how the Admin > Company > Settings > Specific to Revit > Assembly Conflict Resolution > “Revit is always right” setting handles Revit assemblies. If a customer has both Revit Instance assemblies and Parameter assemblies and Revit is always right is set in STRATUS, then the Instanced assemblies will be deleted and only Parameter assemblies will be created. In the example below, the Activities display the initial publish included Instance assemblies. After switching to Parameter assemblies the Instance assemblies are deleted and the Parameter assemblies are created.

Updated How Publish Dialog Displays

Updated the underlying method of how the Publish dialog is shown (per updated instructions from AutoDesk).

Improved File Upload Retry

Improved file upload retry and chunking for files transferred from client to server during publish. This will fix many company publish issues!

Improved How Revit Models that have No Parts or Views are Published

Improved how Revit Models that have no parts or views are published.

Added Containers Dashboard

Added a Dashboard tab to Containers (covered below). The existing Containers functionality and information has moved to the Assign tab.

Packages > Items Updates

Added Include a Link to all Packages

Updated Packages > Items to include a link to all associated Packages. This provides the ability to navigate to all related packages.

For example, when an assembly or loose part is included in multiple packages, a link to all packages will display when any of the following properties are included in the report:

STRATUS.Assembly.PackageName
STRATUS.Assembly.PackageNumber
STRATUS.Part.PackageName
STRATUS.Part.PackageNumber

Note: If a Package does not contain a Package Number, the link will be hardcoded to “Package” for the STRATUS.Assembly.PackageNumber column.

Updated Available Tracking Status Options Based on Applies to Setting

Updated available Tracking Status options based on the objects (Assembly or Part) Applies to settings. For example:

The following Applies to Assembly and Applies to Part Tracking Status options have been set.
Assemblies Data Table - On the Packages > Items tab, in the Assemblies data table, click the Status button.
The Update Assembly Tracking Status dialog will display. The Status drop-down does not include Design because the Applies to Assembly checkbox is not checked for Design, but does include Issued because the Applies to Assembly checkbox is checked.
Parts Data Table - Similarly, on the Packages > Items tab, in the Parts data table, click the Status button.
The Update Part Tracking Status dialog will display. The Status drop-down does include Design because the Applies to Part checkbox is checked for Design, but does not include Issued because the Applies to Part checkbox is not checked for Issued.

Fixed Issue Displaying the Same Data between the Assemblies and Parts Data Tables

Fixed an issue where data like an editable checkbox or a comment displayed within the Assemblies Part Table but did not display within the Parts Part Table.

Added Container Information to STRATUS.*.Container Properties

When STRATUS.*.Container property is used on the Packages Dashboard or on a Packages Items report, relevant information has been added to the container name including the Processor (if any), a link to the container, the Container Status, and the Container comments (if any). The following STRATUS.*.Container properties include this relevant information:

STRATUS.Package.Container
STRATUS.Assembly.Container
STRATUS.Part.Container

For example:

The following packages (--0003, --0005, and --0006) have been added to the Truck D container. In addition, at least one part in the --0006 package has been added to the Truck B container.
On the Packages > Dashboard where STRATUS.Package.Container property is included in the report, the following displays.
1. Processor = Pipe Shop
2. Container (link) = Truck D or Truck B. Click the link to open the container.
3. Container Status = Shipped
4. Comment = Comment 0001 or Comment 0002
Note that package --0006 includes two containers (Truck D and Truck). This indicates that at least one part in the package is included each container.
Similarly, on the Packages > Items tab where STRATUS.Assembly.Container property is included in the report, the following displays.
Similarly, on the Packages > Items tab where STRATUS.Part.Container property is included in the report, the following displays.

Added Functions for Count and Value at Index from Arrays

Added Functions ArrayCount(array) and ValueAtIndex(array, index).

ArrayCount(array) - The Array Count function expects one argument and returns a count of items found in semi-colon separated list of values, or zero if empty.
Syntax: ArrayCount(array)
Example: ArrayCount('1;2;4')

ValueAtIndex(array, index) - The Value At Index function expects two arguments and returns the value from the array at 1-based index, otherwise empty result.
Syntax: ValueAtIndex(array, index)
Example: ValueAtIndex('1;2;4',2)

Added Model Column to Admin > Company > Activities

Added a Model column to Admin > Company > Activities data table.

Updated Packages Dashboard Actions Column

Updated the Packages > Dashboard Actions column so that MAJ, PCF, Archive, and Delete buttons in the same column. If a package does not contain Fabrication parts then MAJ/PCF buttons will not display for the package.

Updated the New Package Dialog to be Wider

Updated the New Package dialog to be wider to more easily read custom fields.

Fixed Issue Running CSV Reports from Models > Dashboard

Fixed an issue where CSV reports could not be run from the Models > Dashboard.

Fixed a Containers Issue Displaying a Part’s Package

Fixed an issue where after a part was added to a Container the part’s Package name did not display.

Fixed a Tracking Status Color Issue on the Packages Dashboard

Fixed an issue with the Tracking Status Color where the color column moved when report columns were hidden under Admin > Company > Reports. In this example, the color column moved to the right 4 columns.

Fixed an Issue with Packages Tracking Statuses Associated with Task Definitions

Fixed an issue where tasks were generated for Task Definition A which, upon completion, was to trigger tasks to be generated for Task Definition B. The Task Definition B tasks are now being generated.

For example:

Task Definition A = Cut Pipe. Once tasks are completed, the package tracking status is to be updated to “Fabricated”.
Task Definition B = Inspect. Once the package has been updated to “Fabricated”, new tasks will be generated.

Fixed a Project Name Override Issue on Labels

Fixed a Project Name Override issue where the Name Override did not display on labels. Note: For an existing cut list item, the cut list will need to be regenerated under Packages > Cut Lists > Generate Cut List. Then when the cut list item is cut using the STRATUS Workstation, the Name Override will display.

Fixed Activity Feed Grouping

Fixed Activity Feed Grouping toggles.
