Heron-AI (Ajmalpshaik)MCADConfidence: Medium

A Revit companion dashboard could not tell the modeller its numbers were stale. The add-in now counts DocumentChanged events and shows 'The model has changed in Revit since this read - press Refresh'. It never refreshes by itself, which is the core problem of an outside tool holding a copy of the model.
