Description
The application is able to import all or selected Scope Boxes from a linked Autodesk® Revit® project into your project, as well as checking if yours and the linked Scope Boxes are the same - if they are different you're able to Synchronize your Scope Boxes to match those in the linked project. Similar to the built-in Copy/Monitor functionality, but on Scope Boxes.
After importing or synchronizing you also have the possibility to reorder the Scope Boxes either automatically or with drag and drop.
Please note that the Views Visible setting on updated Scope Boxes will be not be kept.
PLEASE NOTE: In the latest update to Revit 2018 - 2018.3 the list of Scope Boxes are already organised automatically - there's no need to reorder the scopeboxes manually afterwards and the dialog might seem a little confused. It seems to work fine though. I will update the application as soon as possible! :-)
This took a minute to install and worked great. Thanks,
Thanks Sam! You're very welcome! I'm happy to hear that, thank you for your review! :-)
Outstanding app. I've used it on several projects as we follow the Architects scope boxes. I hope Autodesk picks it up and integrates it with the copy/monitor tool.
Thanks Russel! :-) So far Autodesk hasn't given me any offers but who knows! Have a great day!
Think this is a must for all. Autodesk should add it to Revit functionality.
Thanks Steve! Yes - they should and the only thing required is allowing Copy/Monitor to work on Scope Boxes and it's done. Have a great day!
That is true about the Copy/Monitor but I like you method better! Do you have a 2017 or 2018 version in planning to remove the error at start up?
The error message is actually a "feature" in Revit 2017 and beyond - it shows that the programmer has been trustworthy enough to prove his identity, pay for a certificate and cryptographically sign the application. It's also a good thing of course - it validates that the application has not been tampered with. The message should dissappear if you choose "Load Always" but I've heard of cases when it doesn't. I currently pondering how to proceed - such a certfificate is pretty expensive and I would need to charge something for the application.
easy to install and use
Thanks Diego - happy to hear it! :-)
Thanks a lot Thorbjörn for this must have app. Very clear UI, very usefull function missing from native Revit.
Super easy to use and very useful for large projects with a lot of scope boxes!
Merci Julien! I'm happy to hear that! :-)
Love the concept and it also works very well. I use this when setting up projects to ensure that scope boxes match for all disciplines. It is also helpful to be able to match changes when scope boxes in the link have been changed.
Great to hear that you like the application! Would you also like the application be able to compare Scope Boxes between several Revit projects - even if they are not linked?
This app and the Scope Box Purger helped me a lot in transferring scope boxes from an Arch model (and purging older ones that were messing up my plan views). Both apps were quick and easy to install, and provided good information previous to deleting or linking the boxes.
Thanks, Jesus! I'm happy to hear that you like Synchronizer - and that you have also tried my very latest little creation; Purger! Right now I'm working on an update to Synchronizer which will make it even easier to use and also make it a little prettier on the eyes. Have a great day!
No need to open any linked Revit model to review them Scope Boxes, just use the app and you're all done. Version 1.0 needed a little tweak, I admit (not-loaded Revit Links were the issue). So just wait for v1.1 to come online. The app is fast, very fast and within 2 seconds the job can be done. You can even reorder them if not already done. Very fast support by the way, thank you.
Thank you very much and the next version is, as you wrote, one the way - the friendly people at Autodesk India just needs to package and do some quality assuarance - should be out in a week or so. Thanks again for your bug report, if you ever come by Stockholm - the beers are on me! :-)
Did not work for me. Command Failure for External Command. =(
That sounds strange! If you have both my applications make sure that Scopebox Reorder is updated before you install Scopebox Synchronizer. I will contact you by email. I tried contacting you by email but recieved no response - thanks to another downloader I discovered that if you have an unloaded Revit link in your project, this error can occur - so please verify that all Revit links are loaded. I will update the program as soon as possible. :-)
Had the same problem. Just email to the supplied cust. support and you should have gotten the answer. I did it, and within 4.1 hours a solution presented itself.
