• crashes when the shared parameters file did not exist or could not be created

Version 2.7.20 - July 08th, 2013

Version 2.7.19 - June 25th, 2013

Changes

• added support for Revit 2014
• textures assigned to native Revit materials are recognized in 2014, including the placement options such as tiling, rotation etc.
• added object render flags (hide to camera, hide to GI etc.)
• when the currently selected view is unavailable, the plug-in renders the first camera view it finds

• faster export in scenes with many lights

Fixes

• wrong position for the emitter meshes generated by the plug-in
• incorrect export of split faces
• scenes with grass created by an older version of the plug-in would crash in newer versions
• an MXI file was still written even if the MXI output checkbox was turned off
