**From Sylvia Knauer, Industry Marketing Manager at Autodesk** Hey there! I’m excited to share some fantastic news with all our Autodesk Revit software subscribers. Today, we’re rolling out an updated version of Revit specifically designed for Building Information Modeling (BIM). This latest release is now available to both Maintenance Subscription and Desktop Subscription customers. The newly launched Autodesk Revit 2016 R2 builds upon the speed and performance enhancements introduced in Revit 2016. It also brings over 25 updates, many of which were directly requested by our users. With improved software performance and scalability, along with exciting new features, this release empowers subscribers to capture their design intent more effectively and efficiently. One of the standout features of Revit 2016 R2 is its full compatibility with existing Revit 2016 releases. There are no changes to the file formats, meaning you can seamlessly install the update without interrupting any ongoing projects in Revit 2016. For those of you with Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscriptions, Revit 2016 R2 offers significant incremental value by providing immediate access to the latest capabilities. Here’s a sneak peek at some of what Revit R2 brings to the table: ### Faster: Revit 2016 R2 continues to refine the software’s performance and scalability. For example, orbit, pan, and zoom operations are now faster thanks to the new **Draw Visible Elements Only** option. This feature enhances navigation speed by focusing only on visible elements within a view, which is particularly beneficial when dealing with complex files and large views where regenerating significant amounts of content is unnecessary. ![Image of Draw Visible Elements Only](https://via.placeholder.com/150) Another time-saving improvement is **Color Fill Background Processing**, which allows you to keep working while Revit updates room, space, HVAC zone, duct, and pipe color fills using multiple CPUs. This reduces delays caused by computational tasks, ensuring smoother interactions with your models. ![Image of Background Processing of Color Fills](https://via.placeholder.com/150) ### Smarter: Revit 2016 R2 introduces several tools that help users better capture and embed design intent into their models. One such tool is the **Global Parameters** feature, which lets you define project-wide parameters to control dimensions and instance parameters across different elements. This means you can measure dimensions and use formulas to automatically adjust values in other parts of your project. ![Image of Global Parameters](https://via.placeholder.com/150) Another useful addition is **Family Visibility Preview**, which helps you filter out unwanted geometries and preview only the relevant ones before loading a family into your project. This streamlines your workflow and ensures you're working with exactly what you need. ### Better: We’re constantly listening to user feedback to enhance Revit. In this release, we’ve incorporated over 20 user-requested improvements. Some highlights include: - Unloading links per user to boost performance and reduce memory usage without impacting other team members. - Copy/Paste commands in perspective views for greater flexibility. - Canceling print or export operations for multiple views and sheets with a single click. - Filtering solids/voids separately to simplify bulk geometry selection and editing. - Enhanced rotation controls and an insert part option in fabrication part modeling. ![Image of Per-User RVT Unload](https://via.placeholder.com/150) ### Incremental Updates: As an incremental update, Revit R2 provides a less disruptive experience for both users and administrators. By spreading out changes rather than bundling them into larger annual updates, we minimize downtime and ensure smoother transitions. ### Availability: Autodesk Revit 2016 R2 is now available globally to Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers starting today, October 20. The software will be offered in the following languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese. This update is available to current subscribers of Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium and Ultimate, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Ultimate, Autodesk Revit Collaboration Suite, Autodesk Revit Architecture, Autodesk Revit Structure, Autodesk Revit MEP, Autodesk Revit LT, and Autodesk AutoCAD Revit LT Suite. That's it for now! We hope you find these updates as exciting as we do. Let us know how they work for you and feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback. Happy designing! Best regards, Sylvia Knauer Industry Marketing Manager Autodesk

Sink Roll

Sinking roller is an important roller type equipment, mainly used to achieve coating or anti-corrosion treatment on the surface of steel plates, aluminum plates and other materials by immersing the roller body into the rolling liquid pool. Sinking rollers are widely used in modern industrial fields, such as automobiles, shipbuilding, and other industries.
Structure and working principle
The sinking roller is mainly composed of a roller body, bearings, bearing brackets, and seals. The material of the roller body is generally cast steel, ductile iron or welded steel pipe. Its working principle is that when the steel or aluminum plate passes through the roller body, the sinking roller sinks it into the rolling liquid, then rises, causing the coating to adhere to the surface of the plate, and finally lifts the plate from the rolling liquid pool. Through this method, it is possible to achieve galvanizing and coating on the surface of the steel plate, giving it better performance.
Application scenarios
Sinking rollers have a wide range of applications in industrial production, such as:
Automotive industry: Used for surface treatment of sheet metal used in manufacturing car bodies to improve corrosion resistance and durability.
Shipbuilding field: used for anti-corrosion coating treatment of ship hull panels.
Other industries: surface coating and anti-corrosion treatment of tin plate, copper plate, stainless steel plate, galvanized plate, color coated plate, aluminum plate and other sheet materials.
Maintenance and upkeep
When the sinking roller is used in the molten galvanizing production line, it will be corroded and penetrated by the molten zinc liquid, resulting in pitting and pitting on the roller surface and becoming rough. In addition, high-speed movement can also accelerate wear and tear. Therefore, frequent replacement or maintenance of sinking rollers not only reduces the operating rate, but also increases production costs. In order to extend its service life, surface modification measures can be taken, such as improving the alloy composition of the roller substrate, adopting new sealing structures, etc
