CTC BIM Suites 16.0.1 Released

Just in time for RTC NA 2015, the CAD Technology Center has released new versions of their popular BIM suites. 

From the CTC website...

BIM Manager Suite 2016 Updates: 

New Feature: Batch Family Loader can now reload only the selected or all families in the currently open project or family.

New Feature: Import and Link Manager now allows saving a report to a spreadsheet file

New Feature: Import and Link Manager now breaks down the imports and links into separate lists by these filters:  All, All Links, All Imports, Revit Links and CAD Links.

BIM Project Suite 2016 Updates:

New Feature: Model compare allows filtering snapshots to include only selected types of information, which can dramatically speed up the process of taking a snapshot and can simplify the resulting report.

Enhancement: Model Compare’s engine for comparing two snapshots runs amazingly faster (about 10x faster).

New Feature: View Creator can now create and/or update sheets.


New Feature:  Schedule XL allows including only the Print Area on each sheet to be placed in the schedule view.  If no Print Area is defined, the entire sheet is used.

New Feature:  Schedule XL allows specifying whether or not Auto Update should be on when adding new worksheets to the project.


New Feature:  BIM List Browser now has an option to force update the local copy of the remote database when checking for the database updates.

New Feature:  BIM List Browser now allows the user to load multiple family/project content in the active project.

New Feature:  BIM List Browser now allows the user to load multiple family types in the active project.

New Feature:  BIM List Browser has a new option to change the preview image size of the selected content to scale the image as per user requirement.

New Feature:  BIM List Browser now allows the user to set a default content preview image size using the new Display Options dialog.

New Feature:  BIM List Browser can automatically change the size of the content preview image on mouse hover.  This can be set using the new Display Options dialog.

New Feature:  BIM List Browser has “expand all items” and “collapse all items” options in the display dropdown that expands and collapse all the tree nodes.

New Feature:  BIM List Browser now has a new Clear button for the simple search.

Enhancement:  BIM List Admin will no longer allow user to add a folder to a project.

Enhancement:  BIM List Browser now remembers the last selected group and tab.

Enhancement:  BIM List Browser allows the user to select more than one content at a time, so operation such as adding/removing the content can be performed on all the selected content.

Enhancement:  The database update availability button in the BIM List Browser is now more apparent. The button now has an image and text stating “Update Available”.

Enhancement:  The in-project group in the BIM List Browser is now added to the top of the group combo box in the tab view mode so it’s more consistent with the tree view mode.

Enhancement:  Revision Reporter will now automatically scan for revisions on startup.  The “Get Revisions” toolbar button has been removed as it is no longer applicable.

Enhancement:  Revision Reporter’s “Save” button has been renamed “Save Report” for clarity, and the default report file name will now start with the current project’s name.

There's more information available on the CTC website.
