When installed, you will see the following button in the Addins tab of the Revit ribbon.
Description
Revit’s backup files are great for restoring projects but they leave our project folders cluttered and difficult to navigate. The Backup Organizer add-in for Revit simply moves all backup files to subfolder, leaving only your project files in the original directory.
Settings
There are 4 main settings.
ON / OFF Toggle
Turn the backup organization on or off.
Folder Name
Use the default folder name or create your own. This is the name of the subfolder that will be created alongside your project files.
Maximum Number of Backups
This is the maximum number of backup files to keep (per project).
File Types
Optionally choose to organize backups of projects, templates and/or family files.
Syncing happens when the app is first launched so to trigger a refresh, hit the home button on your device and re-open Days Since.
Check your connection. If you have multiple events with custom backgrounds it may take a few moments to sync on a poor cellular connection.
If you’re still having trouble syncing, follow these steps while connected to wifi:
Add a new event on your first device.
Close and re-open Days Since on your second device to see if it appears.
If the new event appears, try editing your existing events (change the time format or title) and relaunching the app on your second device to see if they appear.
If you’re still having trouble syncing contact us.
Version 5.0.0 updates Days Since for iOS 11 compatibility along with a few notable improvements.
iCloud Syncing is here!
Your countdowns now automatically sync between devices!
All of your countdowns remain private and are only viewable by your iCloud account.
For example, once you open Days Since on your iPhone your countdowns will be sent to the cloud. Then once you open Days Since on your iPad the countdowns from your iPhone will automatically appear!
Syncing is triggered once the app is opened, re-open the app to refresh your list.
Note: Deleting events is not yet synced. If you delete an event on your iPhone you will also have to delete it from your iPad.
First, open Days Since and tap the + button in the upper right corner.
The ‘Edit Event’ screen will appear next. You can enter your event details by tapping on the individual items. For instance, tap on ‘New Event’ to change the event title. Tap on the date to change the date you’d like to countdown or count up to.
When you’re finished entering your event details, tap on the ‘Days Since’ back button to view your newly created countdown. Tap on the ‘Events’ back button will return you to your event list.
Version 5.0.0 of Days Since adds iCloud syncing. All of your countdowns automatically sync between devices.
If you’re having trouble getting your events to show up on both devices, check out our troubleshooting guide.
