faq

How often do you push out new releases?

We push out a new release about every 3-5 months, on average. Every release is carefully planned with user feedback in mind and includes new features, protections, fixes and performance improvements. Our release cadence is, in fact, one of the things our customers most appreciate about Guardian. There is always something new and exciting coming. Click here for the most recent release notes.

We have an incredible vision for the future of Guardian. Now is a great time to be a part of it!

How does user management work?

We value an experience that is uncompromising in value and ease of use. With Guardian, you don't have to manage lists of users, single sign-on, permission roles, etc. Instead, normal users are identified by their Revit IDs or Autodesk IDs automatically, from the moment they first open Revit.

Administrators utilize their credentials to activate their installation and customize the project experiences for their users. Company administrators manage this list of administrators and set up the company dashboard, where all user activities appear. Where needed, certain settings can be customized for individual users.

Do you accept feature requests?

We hope you see us as a literal extension of your own team. We are very transparent with our customers when it comes to release planning. We respond eagerly to requests, encourage dialog between our customers, conduct webinars often and even share feature specifications before any code is written. So yes, we accept requests!

We have a product vision that we take very seriously, so not every request will be implemented. We can assure you, however, that all consideration is taken seriously.

What effect do all these cool features have on Revit performance?

Performance is of utmost importance for us. Guardian is cleverly using the Revit API to apply protections in a way that doesn't impact the regular Revit experience. For example, when users open Revit, Guardian caches all settings and references those during the Revit session when certain actions are performed (instead of asking the server each time). When an action is performed, the data is sent using separate CPU threads.

Our team is more than happy to share more details on this topic. However, perhaps the greatest testament of great performance is that of the many 10's of thousands of daily Guardian users that don't notice it's there.

Some proactive actions, such as cleaning families when loading, may display a progress bar to the users for a few seconds.

What if a user doesn't have Guardian installed?

Guardian runs on each user's workstation so if it is not installed there will be no benefits to the user. There would be no issue to users without Guardian installed either.

Does Guardian support BIM Collaborate Pro? Are there server requirements?

Guardian supports all methods of Revit worksharing, including BIM Collaborate Pro. Because Guardian runs on each user's workstation, the projects will run normally, regardless of where they are stored. Files that are registered to Guardian will appear in your Projects dialog with the file path.

There are no other server requirements for Guardian. Just install or deploy it and you're well on your way to a more proactive approach!

Can you manage Guardian for our firm?

Yes, we can help set up Guardian for your firm and maintain the service for you. Please reach out to our team for more information. We have also partnered with several BIM consultant firms that are qualified to provide this service.
