Revit 2024
ConVoid is now available for Revit 2024 and can seamlessly be integrated into your upcoming projects.
Enhanced Creation and Tracking Process
All ConVoid Revit Versions come with an enhanced automatic creation and tracking process for provisions for voids, resulting in increased stability, improved performance, and better outcomes.
Room and Grid Location
Automatically add room names, numbers, levels, and the grid location to the openings, with our new feature and parameters, which can be used and added at any time into your project.
Improved BCF and Approval Workflow
Users can now define the coordination base for the automatically created BIM Collaboration Format, offering more flexibility in exchanging BCFs with different coordinates. You can also define a shared folder for your snapshots, enabling simultaneous review by you and your colleagues.
Additionally, issue titles can now be enriched with opening parameters, allowing for the automatic creation of titles that include data from the openings.
Lastly, we've enhanced the BCF import and approval synchronization, providing a more streamlined coordination process and exchange with project participants.
Elevation of Openings
A new feature to the existing level feature has been added, allowing you to set the top, middle, and bottom elevation of openings, making it easier to place and modify openings manually.
Join Openings
When manually joining openings, your custom parameters will automatically be combined into a single parameter. Additionally, you can now automatically join openings after the creation process using the Join/Unjoin feature. This feature appears when you deselect all openings and click on Join/Unjoin, allowing you to define the maximum distance for joining openings of selected filters.
