CET 16.0 Minor: August 18, 2025

 All Editions News & Changes

New Features

Introducing Glass Doors and Partitions

• We're happy to share that you can now create glass walls and storefront windows to design those sleek, transparent spaces without workarounds! 
  
  Thanks to the new 'Frameless glass door' and 'Glass partition' components, found on the 'Walls' component tab, putting in those glass segments is quicker and easier than ever before.
  
  

Show Hidden Objects in Selection

• A new option, 'Show hidden objects in selection', has been added to the 'Views' tab in the Control Panel. When enabled, selected objects hidden by a View Mode or Filter will now appear transparent, offering clearer visual feedback during selection.

Increased Control When Moving Objects

• The 'General' tab in the Control Panel is also seeing a new addition. The 'Arrow key move distance' setting lets you set how far the arrow keys will move objects to your preference and convenience. You can choose a fixed value or set it to dynamic, meaning the distance will scale with the camera zoom level.

Excel Export for Calculation

• Calculation can now be exported directly to Excel from the current article view, enabling easier analysis, reporting, and sharing outside of CET.

Improvements

• Finalized fixes and adjustments to toolboxes and menus to align with the updated user interface.
   
• Improved how icons are generated for component tabs, resulting in faster loading times for specific tabs.
   
• Improved the Catalogue Downloader to better handle multiple CET instances running at the same time. For best results, make sure all instances use the same download directory.
   
• Updated the default setting for 'Run without CET' in the Catalogue Downloader to off to reduce confusion. This setting will still remember your previous choice.
   
• Renamed the leg length setting in Dimensions to 'Extension Length' (previously 'Line Length') for better alignment with CET terminology.
   
• Improved the performance of Custom Shapes.
   

• Updated RevLink to now support Revit 2026.
   

  Please note that there is currently a known issue with the 'Get Update' button failing in Revit 2025. Instead of opening a web browser with the intended RevLink page, an error dialog is displayed. We were able to get a fix out shortly after the release of CET 16.0 Minor, but please note that:
  - the fix will only apply to new installations of the RevLink add-in and their future updates.
  - existing users on Revit 2025 who already have the older add-in installed will still see the error message and need to manually go to the RevLink page to obtain the latest version of the add-in containing the fix.

Fixes & Enhancements

Crash Fixes

• Fixed issue that could cause CET to crash when loading sections of a selected Extension in the Component Tab Configurator.
   
• Fixed issue that caused CET to crash when double-clicking a chain dimension.
   
• Fixed issue that could cause CET to crash when loading a drawing with a missing DWG file.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed problem where the animation for some tools did not align properly with the mouse cursor when the view was highly zoomed in.
   
• Fixed problem in the 'Block' dialog where interface elements would appear or disappear when clicked.
   
• Fixed problem where hiding or showing an Architectural Level would also activate it.
   
• Fixed problem with the Architectural Extension where toggling floor properties on or off wasn't synchronized between the component tab and the separate Floor properties dialog box.
   
• Fixed problem where column thickness would sometimes not change dynamically in the 2D view.
   
• Fixed problem where changing wall thickness in the 'Schemes' dialog caused the placement and thickness of attached doors, windows, and other objects to adjust incorrectly.
   
• Fixed problem where walls sometimes received the wrong elevation when using the 'Continuous Wall' tool.
   
• Fixed problem with renamed levels and alternatives in drawings, where the level's modified name was not retained when creating new alternatives; instead reverting back to its original name.
   
• Fixed problem in the 'Color Picker' dialog where colors added to 'Custom Colors' were not saved.
   
• Fixed problem where part lines did not split by numerical feature value in the Calculation.
   
• Fixed problem where sub-components in the Calculation lost their numerical order. The format now correctly follows 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, instead of 1A, 1B, 1C.
   
• Fixed problem with the Flooring Extension where 'Install View Mode' was not visible in PDF prints.
   
• Fixed problem with the icon of the 'Lights' component tab that could cause it to sometimes display the old icon when running the facelifted version of CET.

• Fixed problem where RevLink layout files could not be imported into Revit 2024.
