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 the Tolerance for Saddle Connections to 1/4”

Updated the tolerance for saddle connections to 1/4". This fixed an issue where a user reported that holes were not populating the .PSVR cut file. Since the relationship between the saddle and pipe is determined during publish, models must be republished to take advantage of this update.

Added Multiple Entry Selection and Action

Added the ability to select multiple entries (rows) and then take an action on those entries (Ex. Update Tracking Status, edit an editable field, and Delete). In this release, this feature is available on the Assemblies > Dashboard and Packages > Items pages.

The following rules are applied no matter what action is taken:

Multiple Actions Only Apply to Selected Entries - When Show is checked for any entry, the action taken will only apply to the selected entries. If the user attempt to edit an entry row outside of the selected rows, the following message will display.
Attachments - Cannot attach a file to multiple entries using the multiple entry selection feature.

To use the multiple entry selection feature on the Assemblies > Dashboard:

In the Show column, check multiple entries.
1. Each checked row is highlighted in light blue and the number of entries (rows) selected displays.
2. Check/Uncheck All
  1. To check all checkboxes in the table, check the Show checkbox in the header row. In this case, 3743 rows have been checked.
  2. To uncheck all checkboxes in the table, uncheck the Show checkbox in the header row.
Most actions that can be taken on one entry can be taken when multiple entries have been checked in the Show column.
1. Follow the edit/update prompts specific to editing the selected field (Ex. Status, Delete, Custom Editable Field, etc.) to make the change to all selected entries. See the examples below.
2. Note: Updating 1 row takes between .5 and 2.5 seconds depending on the edited column.
3. Exception: The ability to attach a document to multiple entries is disabled.

Example: Update Tracking Status for Multiple Entries

To simultaneously change the Tracking Status of multiple selected assemblies:

In the Show column, check the assemblies to be impacted by the Status change. Each checked row is highlighted in light blue and the number of entries (rows) selected displays.
For one of the selected rows, click the current status (Ex. Packaged). The Update Tracking Status dialog will display.
Select the new status and then click the Update button. The Status of all checked rows will change to the new status. Note: It takes approximately 1.5 seconds to update a row after a tracking status change. If 100 items are checked and tracking status updated it will take approximately 150 seconds (2.5 minutes) to update the Assemblies table.

Example: Delete Multiple Entries

To simultaneously Delete multiple selected assemblies:

In the Show column, check the assemblies to be impacted by the Status change. Each checked row is highlighted in light blue and the number of entries (rows) selected displays. Click the Delete button for one of the selected rows. The Delete Assemblies dialog will display.
1. KEEP - Click KEEP to cancel the operation and not delete the selected assemblies.
2. Delete - Click Delete to delete the selected assemblies. Note: It takes approximately 2.5 seconds to update a row after a delete action. If 100 items are checked and deleted it will take approximately 250 seconds (4 minutes) to update the Assemblies table.

Example: Update Editable Field for Multiple Entries

In the Show column, check the assemblies to be impacted by the change to an editable field. Each checked row is highlighted in light blue and the number of entries (rows) selected displays. Click an editable field for one of the selected rows. The edit dialog will display.
After saving the change the editable field for the selected entries will be updated.

Example: Add Spools to Packages

For companies that spool in Revit and package in STRATUS, multiple spools can be added to the Package in the Assemblies Dashboard.

Select Assemblies and click the Packages cell to display the Package selection dialog.
Select the Package and Save. A message similar to the following will display.
Click Modify and the select Package name will display for each checked Assembly.

Example: Packages > Items

Multi-entry row selection is also available on the Packages > Items tab.

Added Dimension Settings Tool

Added the Dimension Settings tool to the Dimensioning toolbar. When clicked, a list of snap point types will display. The checked snap points in the screen shot below are selected by default. When checked, the snap point will be used during dimension placement. Close the Dimension Settings dialog by either clicking the gear tool again or x-out of the popup.

Added Container Project Role Permissions

Added Project Role Permissions under Containers > Assign.

Empty Container
1. Checked - When checked the Empty Container and Remove buttons will display.
2. Unchecked - When unchecked, the Empty Container and Remove buttons will not display.
Delete Tracking Log
1. Checked - When checked, after using the Empty Container button to empty the container, the following prompt to start a New Tracking Log will display.
2. Unchecked - When unchecked, after using the Empty Container button to empty the container, the New Tracking Log prompt (see above) will not be presented.

Updated Cut List Area - Group by Area

The Cut Lists table displays differently depending on if Group by Area is checked or unchecked.

Unchecked (Default) - When unchecked and the Generate Cut Lists button is clicked:
1. Blank - Area will remain blank if there are parts in the cutlist that are not associated with any area.
2. Multiple Areas - Multiple Areas will be displayed if there are multiple areas in that cutlist. On hover over Multiple Areas, each area in the cutlist will be displayed.
3. One Area - The area will be displayed if there is only one area associated to that size and material.
Checked - When checked and the Generate Cut Lists button is clicked, a new list will be generated for parts having the same material and size, but different areas.
1. Each Area - A record for each area will be displayed if there are multiple areas for a specific size and material (Ex. Material = Carbon Steel, Size = 3/8).
2. Undefined - Undefined will be displayed if there are parts for a specific size and material that are not associated to any area.

Fixed an Assemblies Dashboard Issue Displaying Packages when All Models is Selected

Fixed an Assemblies Dashboard issue displaying packages when ALL MODELS was selected as a filter. The correct behavior is described below. In addition, in the Package drop-down, the user can select “Unspecified” or a specific package within the project. “Unspecified” indicates that there is ‘no’ package filter selected, so all packages will display.

ALL PROJECTS | ALL MODELS - Package list should be left empty, as this is too many packages to list
Specific Project | ALL MODELS - Package list should include all packages from the project
Specific Project | Specific Model - Package list should include packages from the model only
