Import and Synchronize Scope Boxes
The Scope Box Synchronizer plugin allows you to effortlessly import all or selected Scope Boxes from a linked Revit project into your current project. This feature alone saves you from the hassle of manually recreating Scope Boxes or copying them one by one. With just a few clicks, you can have all the necessary Scope Boxes available in your project, ready to be utilized.
What sets the Scope Box Synchronizer apart is its ability to check if the Scope Boxes in your project are the same as those in the linked project. If any differences are found, the plugin enables you to synchronize your Scope Boxes, ensuring consistency across multiple projects. This feature proves to be invaluable, especially when working on large-scale projects with multiple contributors.

New Feature: Enabling and Disabling Synchronization
In version 1.8.0, the Scope Box Synchronizer introduces an exciting new feature - the enabling and disabling of synchronization. This enhancement grants you more control over your Scope Boxes, allowing you to choose when to sync them and when not to. This flexibility ensures that your project remains organized and avoids any unintended changes.
Additionally, the plugin tries to save the synchronization settings into an XML file in the current user's AppData folder. This offers a convenient way to store your preferences and easily access them whenever needed. The developer has put a lot of effort into this functionality, and while it may still have some quirks, it promises to enhance your experience with the plugin.

Important Notes and Bug Fixes
The Scope Box Synchronizer plugin comes with a few important notes and bug fixes that users should be aware of. First, please note that the Views Visible setting on updated Scope Boxes will not be retained. While this might initially seem inconvenient, it is a small trade-off considering the overall time and effort saved by using this plugin.
Furthermore, a bug was reported in version 1.7.2, which involved a Read-Only parameter. If you encounter this bug, the developer kindly requests that you provide a demo project with the issue. It is important to ensure that your views are not set to Temporary View status when performing synchronization, as this may be the cause of the bug. Despite this minor setback, the developer actively encourages users to report any issues they encounter, underscoring their commitment to improving the plugin's performance and user experience.
