12 updates shipped to Argus this month, including 2 major releases — here's the full recap.
Group your QA checks into named checklists like 'Pre-issuance' or 'Weekly health', organised in categories with citable reference numbers you can quote in reports and emails. Run every check in a checklist with one click and get a report per check — each run is saved as a record, and if you cancel mid-way the report clearly shows which checks were and weren't run.
Ask Argus to model a parametric Revit family — starting with casework such as cabinets. It builds the reference planes, geometry, parameters and family types, then checks the result before handing it over. Flexible, properly constrained families from a plain-language description.
The family agent can now build MEP pipe fittings — elbows, tees, wyes, crosses, reducers, couplings and caps — with the Part Type, lookup-table sizing and nominal-radius wiring Autodesk's shipped fittings use, so they resize correctly when the routing engine places them. And every family Argus delivers is now flex-tested at half and double the shipped sizes and visually compared against your reference photo before handover.
Say 'these dimensions' and Argus reads your actual Revit selection. Delete dimensions in plain words ('remove all 0 dimensions'), move existing ones onto a dimension style, and tidy dimensions Argus did not create — with grid anchors taken from the view, not hidden grids elsewhere. Also fixed: an overflow error on large element ids in Revit 2024+ and cloud models.
Park work can be scoped with a Scope Box instead of a boundary floor. When adding to an existing park, Argus inspects one zone at a time with a highlighted crop of your drawing and leaves ambiguous areas unclaimed rather than forcing a pattern. Iterating keeps the elements you chose to retain, and a failed layout run rolls everything back cleanly.
With Autodesk connected, ask Argus what details or families the firm's catalog holds. It searches names, tags and parameters, shows preview thumbnails side by side, and can insert a detail as a drafting view, load a family with only the types you ask for, or copy system types, materials, fill patterns, schedules and sheets into the open project.
A single request can now work for much longer before stopping, so big modeling jobs — like a family with many parts — finish instead of being interrupted near the end. Cancelling is just as solid: one click stops a running request, the chat shows when Argus is queued behind other Revit work, and reinforcement generation across many columns, footings, slabs or walls got noticeably faster.
Browse and manage all your QA checks in a dedicated library: search and filter by tags, category, discipline and severity, and see each check's latest test result at a glance.
Bring everything you built in the old Copilot plugin into Argus: import commands through the improved command drawer and collection editor, or migrate your whole library in one batch. Imported commands behave like native ones — including full undo support for the changes they make.
A wave of reliability fixes: a rare Revit crash when reading certain element parameters is prevented, generated command panels are auto-checked before they're saved so faulty ones never reach you, panels no longer freeze while loading their dropdown data, the approval prompt shows correctly in narrow layouts, and older plugins now get a clear upgrade message instead of failing silently.
New dimensioning tools made for walls: dimension the interior walls or the exterior shell with its openings directly, with cleaner dimension chains and numbers placed near the walls they measure.
The shared Company command library is now tied to your actual organization instead of your email domain — only Owners and Admins can publish to it, and every member sees the same library. It sits in a redesigned command library with a responsive layout, sorting options, and a visible Company section.
Argus ships improvements like these every month — your workflows get faster without lifting a finger.
