Revit Sundial

The Revit Factory is back to blogging and they've announced a special preview version of Revit 2015 that everyone can access (if you have a fast enough internet connection).

To quote from the blog:

"To get things started, we’re providing everyone within reach of this blog the opportunity to test drive a hosted release preview of Revit called Sundial.

Autodesk Revit Sundial provides enhancements to Revit that are not currently included in the commercial release. We will be highlighting the many improvements in blog posts over the next days and weeks."

Try out Revit Sundial and see what you think.  Keep in mind that this runs on Autodesk's own servers.  The upshot of this is that the install is tiny but the downside is that you need a decent internet connection (and the distance means that there will naturally be some input lag anyway).

A couple of nifty things that this release previews are a Reveal Constraints visibility control and an additional button in the family editor Load Into Project and Close that does what it says on the box.
