Frequently asked questions

Do you have a question? We probably have the answer.

Installation

How do I install the add-in?

Please follow the instructions in the e-mail that you have received after your subscription.

What is Outplan Installer?

Outplan Installer is our installation as well as update wizard for all our add-ins.

What is Outplan Launcher?

Outplan Launcher is an add-in loaded via Revit. It's responsible for checking all our installed products for compatibility, both with each other and with the current Revit session. In addition, the Outplan Launcher can be for example configured to load our products from a central location.

Do I need Outplan Launcher if I want to use a single add-in only?

Yes, Outplan Launcher is always required for our products, regardless of the number of products.

Are floating/network licenses available?

No, we offer a subscription model where the costs are based on the number of devices.

How to load add-ins from another location/central storage?

It's possible to load our add-ins from another location (e.g. from a NAS). To do that, you need to create a configuration and edit the .addin file. If you need assistance, please contact Support on our website.

How can I activate a new device/machine?

A new device/machine is activated automatically - provided an add-in has been correctly installed with a valid license and activation key - when Autodesk® Revit® is started.

How can I free up licenses/deactivate machines?

By uninstalling them. After removing an add-in from an activated device/machine, the device/machine will be deactivated automatically after 14 days.

What happens if I reach the device/machine limit?

A new device/machine can't be activated if the device/machine limit has been reached. To increase the device/machine limit please contact Sales.

How does the licensing work?

The add-in is issued with a working license and activation key based on the ordered count of devices/machines.

How do I update an add-in?

You'll receive an email containing the update information and installation instructions in case a new update is available.

Do I need administrator permissions to install an add-in?

Should a standard installation/new installation take place, no admin rights are required. However, if a modified installation already exists and our add-ins need to be updated (for example, the add-ins are loaded from a NAS), it may be required depending on the scenario (for example, if the add-ins are loaded via a NAS, where admin rights are required to write/replace files on the NAS).

How do I allow or deny specific add-ins in a centralized setup across my organization?

If you require assistance, please contact us.

Where can I find my customer code?

We've send you your customer code by email when you started your subscription or trial period.

Product

Does the add-in support different project unit types?

Yes, the add-in supports most of the unit types available in Autodesk® Revit®.

Is it possible to work with the add-ins offline?

Yes, it's possible to work offline for 14 days since the last time the add-in was successfully started with an active internet connection.

Is the add-in compatible with Autodesk Revit LT?

No. Unfortunately, Autodesk Revit LT doesn't support add-ins.

What happens when Autodesk® releases a new version of Revit®?

At an annual update (porting), we aim to provide compatibility of the latest major and minor Autodesk® Revit® version at the release date. This is included in the Outplan subscription without any additional costs. We do this for the current updated and the previous 3 major versions of Autodesk® Revit®.

When or how often does the add-in receive an update?

Bug fixes are issued on demand, while functionality updates are delivered according to the add-in’s product roadmap. Ports to new versions of Autodesk Revit are issued until December latest.
