Freeze Drawing Extension

Robobat just released a 100% free of charge new Extension that you can download at

http://www.extensions4revit.com/n/e4r/856/20

This is a very convenient tool that can be used in any of the Revit products: Revit Architecture, Revit Structure or Revit MEP.

We got the request many times from our users to be able to "freeze" their details. Here is the use case: let us say you work on a bunch of details created from the model, you put text, annotations, symbols etc… then the architect notifies you that he has to change the level elevation or the location of a grid line or something like that… you know the story right? And then you lose all the detailing work that you did

With this tool you can easily in a couple of clicks generate drafting views out of the model views so if the model changes then you can freeze your details and reuse them on the same project or even on a new project by transferring the drafting view

I tried to install "Extensions Engine" and "freeze" extension but was not able to. I am running Revit Architecture. Any ideas???

Chris,

The Extensions work for Revit Structure 2008 only at this point

Nicolas,
Thank you, do you know if there are any plans to make them work with the other versions?

Chris,

For now the Extensions focus on Revit Structure but after we have enough momentum (probably next year), then they should be available for Revit Architecture as well

Thank you Nicolas

I'm trying to use the Freeze Drawing Extension to freeze a section view from the model and I go through the the dialog boxes and finally get a progress bar that goes half way saying "Freezing in progress" - Export, but it doesn't finish. I even let it run overnight and next morning it was at the same half-way point. Does the Freeze Drawing Extension work?
