3.1.3 Release Notes

Hey UNIFI Customers,

Our latest software update was released May 31, 2018.  We’ve fixed a few bugs and have made a few updates to improve performance while building out capabilities for upcoming features.

Updates can happen in 2 ways depending on how your company has asked us to set it up:

1. Users update the UNIFI add-on themselves:
   • In this case, close Revit, wait a few minutes then re-open and then open UNIFI through the desktop application or Start Menu. All done!
2. Your IT Department does it for you:
   • In this case, you don’t have to lift a finger.   IT can update everything centrally for you.

Wondering which way your company has this set up?

If you get a prompt that a new version of UNIFI is available, you need to update at the user level.   If you never see a prompt, your IT department is probably managing the situation for you.

We hope the new updates improve your user experience.

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or feedback to support@unifilabs.com.

Thanks

Team UNIFI
