Revit 2017.1 Changes part 2

Yesterday I posted about some changes to 2017.1 as they reflect on Collaboration for Revit.

This morning i stumbled upon another more minor change.  This change was on the Collaborate Tab and selecting the Manage Models panel:

The first was a drop down to the panel itself, once opened you will see the new feature of “Repair Central Model”, this is a new feature for all workshared model not specific to C4R.  The other

Revit 2017.1 C4R Changes

Yesterday Autodesk released the latest update for Revit 2017 (direct download links can be found at Luke’s Blog).  A couple of changes have happened if you are using Collaboration for Revit.

One of which is the new branding from A360 to BIM360.  In the Open dialog box the icon has changed. (this is also true when SP7 for Revit 2016 is installed as well)

The more significant change is the Synchronization process, below we can see the status of the process in a dialog box (wish this was there for normal projects as well)

Two changes I have noticed with in a few minutes of using the updated version

Revit 2017 Ceiling Change

In previous releases of Revit we have been able to automatically place ceilings in rooms in most instances.  In 2017 the reasons for not being able to place rooms automatically have changed.  In my opinion this should be considered a bug.

The situation I am referring to is when we have a room that has a wall protruding into it, (see image below).  Prior to Revit 2017 a ceiling would go into this room with out any problem.  Now in 2017 you will have to manually place the ceiling using sketch lines.
