New Simplify Command (What's New in 2022)

Learn about the new assembly level Simplify command which replaces the Shrinkwrap command.

The new Simplify command replaces both the Shrinkwrap and Shrinkwrap Substitute commands. With Simplify you remove components and features from complex assemblies in order to make collaboration and downstream use easier.

Benefits of the new Simplify command:

  • Uses a property panel to streamline the workflow and eliminate switching between dialog tabbed pages.

  • Provides four built-in presets, plus you can create your own. Presets assign values to the fields further in the property panel. You can override any value.

  • Save an assembly as a new part, a substitute Model State, or a Revit model (RVT).

  • Improved and expanded feature recognition that enables filtering pockets by depth, removing embossed features, tunnels, and cavities (voids).

  • Simplify is integrated into the RVT Export command eliminating the need to perform the tasks separately.

You can access the Simplify command from these points:

  • Assemble tab Simplification panel Simplify
  • File Export Export to RVT - for RVT output only
  • Environments tab BIM Content Simplify panel Simplify
  • Browser: Model State node New Substitute Simplify
Note: Task Scheduler continues to create Shrinkwrap Assemblies tasks.
