We’ve focused on improving the overall infrastructure of the UNIFI platform which ultimately means you’ll enjoy an enhanced experience. You will notice a better general performance across UNIFI, including when you’re navigating and performing tasks, such as search and browse.

•Saved Searches

We’ve updated Saved Searches to include options for selecting search fields as well as filtering by Revit parameters. We also updated the UI for creating/editing saved searches to improve user experience.

ADDITIONAL UPDATES

•UNIFI Pro

We’ve made several improvements to Pro. Namely, Revit materials will now simply load into an active project (rather than initiate paint mode) and your shared parameters will be checked for updates more frequently to ensure the latest version is in use.  In addition, content request comments can be saved with CTRL + Enter and time can be specified as part of the due date.

•Web Portal

As previewed in our last release, the event stream has been removed from portal and is no longer supported.

• Project Analytics

Upon syncing a Revit model that has analytics turned on, you will now receive an alert letting you know UNIFI is collecting data for Project Analytics along with a progress bar.

Coming soon

•Autodesk 2021 Support

We’re just as excited as you are for Autodesk 2021 software!  To prepare, we’re already working on 2021 support.  You can expect that UNIFI will be ready to support Autodesk 2021 software shortly after it’s released.  We’ll notify you directly when it’s officially live.  Until then, check out the Autodesk software versions we’re currently compatible with here.
