Plugin updates
As the plugins for Revit, Rhino, and Navisworks are installed concurrently with Prospect, you will need to re-install Prospect and check off the appropriate software should you upgrade your version. This is not necessary for OBJ, FBX or Sketchup files as they do not utilize a plugin.
If you neglected to close these applications during the installation process, simply close them, close Prospect, then relaunch Prospect; the add-ins will install automatically.
Notes:
