Ecotect 2011 New Features

[Rustle]

It looks like Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2011 will be released on April 20th but I have not seen anything about the new features. Anyone have something to share?

I've heard Ecotect 2011 will not have any new features added besides a new licensing system.

Given the overall lack of support from Autodesk since its acquisition of this software, I'm beginning to wonder if they just bought it for parts and pieces to add to Revit.

I have exactly the same sensation. No real update since version 5.6 except for some improvement in gbxml export to support use Autodesk Green Building Studio service and the licensing system.

It would be far more useful and impressive as an integrated part of Revit, rather than an additional £5K program...

If they could then get Autodesk Seek sorted out (properly - with truly regulated and accurate manufacturer content) Revit would flatten any opposition.
