Revit^® 2026 plugin

The next version our plugin for Autodesk® Revit® is here!  If you are an existing user of Openings Studio, get instructions on how to download the new plugin.

Note: Older versions of our plugin will continue to be available, but we are no longer updating those versions as noted by the "Not Supported" next to them.

 

CRM ID added to Project Search

We have converted one of the columns on the Project Search screen to display the CRM ID, if available.  This will allow specification writers to visually see which projects are linked vs. which ones are not to a CRM opportunity.

You can right-click anywhere on the Project Search screen to access Column Visibility and turn this column on.

Helpful Hint: The ID column is also very useful if you are referencing projects by their ID on a regular basis.

 

New DoorBird families

New wall-hosted and non-hosted families for D31KV and D31KH for flush and surface mounted models have been added to the DoorBird library.  Our BIM object libraries can be found on the Home screen of Openings Studio.

 

Product Search: Selecting a manufacturer will filter hardware types

When you are in Product search, if you select a hardware manufacturer, the hardware type list will now only display the product types in that selected manufacturer's price book.

Note: A manufacturer and type selections are not required for searching, but can be helpful in narrowing down search results.  You can also search with only the manufacturer and type filled in and nothing in the product code field to see what products show up in that category.

 

Hold modified finishes when updating price books

If you override the finish on hardware product, previously when you updated price books, it was reverting back to the original value.  Now the modified finish will hold, similar to the way that Type Description and Part Description work.

Note: The modify functionality is not available in all parts of the world.

 

Spec Builder templates

Going forward, projects created after this release will hold the specification templates that they begin with indefinitely, unless the specification writer chooses to update to the latest templates.

To update a projects templates, uncheck the parent node of the specification, recheck it, and the Update Templates button will appear if there is a newer version.  You can click this button to update the project you are in, if you need newest versions.

This change was added to help eliminate "ghost language" that was occurring when templates were updated, but the project started on older templates.

 

Distributor file sharing streamlined - Americas only

Previously, any extracted distributor files had to be manually attached to an email and sent to the intended party.  Now, you can let Openings Studio do the final work for you.

On the Reports screen, kick off the Distributor Export like normal.  You may have some warnings to work through, but at the end, it will prompt you to send the files with a personalized message.  You can add multiple email addresses, separating each by a comma.  This file share feature will include the disclaimer that previously exported as well.

If you still want to email the files yourself, you can click Cancel on the file share window and you will be prompted to the save the files locally like you did previously.

Note: This is for not for PRO-TECH TITAN projects.  It works for PRO-TECH V8 and other text file imports.

 

 

Mobile app: "Assign" icon changes when a new QR code tag is assigned

We've heard you.  After a few dozen doors, those doors start to blend together and you start to question if you actually assigned a tag or not.  Going forward, when a tag is assigned, you will see a little checkmark on the icon to show it's done!  No more repeating your work, just to be sure.

 

Mobile app: Building picture in-app instructions

Building pictures now offer clearer direction on which way to turn your device to take a proper picture.  This is to make sure the picture shows up correctly in your reports.

Note: Building pictures are the only mobile app pictures meant to be taken in landscape mode.
