Hi folks.
Sorry for the week of silence, we've got a number of interesting projects going on at the factory and things have been moving quickly on items I'll detail in Future PostsTM.
One feature you might have noticed in Sundial is the search box in the Type Selector. The fun part of creating a feature in a portable way is that you get to use it in more that one place. If you're an electrical engineer using Revit, you've probably clocked a fair amount of mousewheel time to get to the panel you want to locate in the model. Instead, start typing in the new search box, and watch as the list starts narrowing down.
Sometimes it's the little things that people love the most. One customer testing this feature and the related "recently used" feature said...
“Wow, I can use most recently used too. That’s really nice too! That’s cool, I like them a lot! That’s a really big improvement, oh my goodness!”
Try it and let us know what you think!

Revit has been severely lacking in these simple "usability" enhancements for AGES. thank goodness someone's finally starting to integrate changes like this into the product. really looking forward to that feature being a part of the full software release.

With regards to the search function, one other place that I have noticed where it would be beneficial is in the reference elevation dialog window when adding a second referenced elevation to a central tag. The search function works great while placing the first referenced elevation, but is again missing when placing the second, third, etc.
Still... almost there!!

The search function is great...i've always believed that every list should have a filtered search function. This is a good start. Thank you!
