Remember this post about Steve’s wish?
When you open a Revit file that was last saved in a previous version, would you love it if Revit asked “Do you want to upgrade?” And would you want a “No” button?
If so, the free File Version Reporter from Boost Your BIM is for you!
- Check the ‘last saved version’ for a single file
- Check the ‘last saved version’ for all files in a folder
- Get a notification dialog when starting to upgrade a file from a previous version with a “No” button

The tool is free and also a test of the Pay What You Want approach that Laura Handler mentioned recently. You decide how much time this tool saves you, how much aggravation it helps you avoid, and how much it is worth to you. I hope you will love it and you will make a generous contribution. If you don’t like it, don’t pay anything. If this works for everyone, I’ll happily publish some more Revit API tools this way.

This is great when a new version comes out. When do you expect a 2015 version of this plugin to be available?
Here’s an installer for 2015

You da man.
This sure beats opening the file in a text editor and scrolling down for the version number with spaces. Does this work for Revit family (.rfa) files as well as project (.rvt) files?
Thanks, yes as I recall it will work with RFAs
This is one hell of a tool.
Great.
I’m so grateful, amazed and just have so much praise for this tool … you rock!
