No Ken they are supporting other manufactures. From my understanding they are working with the Revit/Fabrication Developers

Really?  That is cool, but like Tom said, it is still Revit...

It seemed easy to pickup and run with. Used it for about 4hrs.

We have installed it and it is working good. Nice addition to Revit and the tools it has work good too.
Thanks, Dino

I did a webinar with Victaulic about this. It is pretty slick. We are looking to use it in the future when we dip our toes in Revit.
They also are creating some other interesting tools for Revit in conjunction with Autodesk.

How is this new tool affecting a Fabrication design, let's say, you use the tool on fabrication parts, will the new parts be fully recognizable by the other Fabrication software?  ???
