What's New in Archibus V. 25.2?

Platform and System Administration Changes

Smart Client Extension for Revit

Central/Local model management is now supported.

 

Central/Local model management provides these benefits:

• seamlessly syncs local model changes to a central file

• improves workflow for model users of different disciplines

• reduces duplication of effort for multiple users

Users do not need to take action to implement this feature. It fixes an issue where assets that originated from multiple local models were not recognized in the Space Console and 3D Viewer.

Typical workflow

1. Open a local model
   • Set Archibus properties
   • Catalog assets
   • Sync to Central
2. Open another local model
   • Sync to Central
   • Archibus properties are set
   • Assets are recognized

Key change in Revit Extension

Set the “dwgname” field value to the central model name instead of each local instance of that central model.

Outlook Plugin

OAuth2 authentication with O365 is now supported.

View 1.0 and Flash

We have ended support for View 1.0 views and views using Flash-based controls. The tasks supporting View 1.0 and the Flash drawing control, Flash chart control, and Flash maps have been removed from the Technologies section of the Navigator. If you have created views using these controls, you can convert them to the newer formats. See:
