Trimble Connect User Forum

Hi, 

Since a last update, we get a visual warning on the screen that newer file versions are available. This is very helpful. In our situation, we generate IFC files of our projects every night, separately for each level. Then to update all the models, I have to click on them one by one. For this, my wish is that there will be an addition within this feature. For example, an "update all" button. Make it visible only when you unfold the menu, then you know that the user has also had the list visible. A next step would be to use selections to quickly exclude one or more files. Then it becomes an "Update Selected". Can the displayed files also be classified according to the folder structure?

Kind regards, Stefan - Byldis

Hello Stefan,

Thank you for taking the time to clearly describe and visualize your improvement request. We have now documented this request to the backlog.

In the meanwhile, I can think of a potential workaround that you perhaps could consider: If you create a view and then later open the view, it by default loads the latest model versions in it: https://docs.windows.connect.trimble.com/views/opening-views-in-3d#h.jtkw9mttc88l   For some users, this is a convenient way to load the latest model versions quickly.

Best regards,
Jari

Hi Stefan,

Nice to hear that the workaround helped. As a small clarification, the term "backlog" means that the request has been recorded and it is waiting to be picked up later. 

Kind regards,
Jari
