It's that time of the year when everyone publishes their top 10 lists. I know the year is not over, but I doubt the results will change between now and then. So when I look back over the year in terms of the number of downloads for a technology preview, I can easily see that this was a banner year for Autodesk Labs. I simply use a�SQL query against our metrics database that I maintain: SELECT YEAR(MetricsDataDownloads.Date) AS Year, ������������� SUM(MetricsDataDownloads.Completed) AS Downloads FROM MetricsDataDownloads GROUP BY YearORDER BY Year This gives me some numbers that I can easily past into Excel and produce a graph: 2011 was our most popular in the 5 years that Autodesk Labs has been in existence. The top 10 downloads that accounted for this popularity were: 10. Project Storm try structural analysis via the cloud 9. Feature Recognition for Inventor convert 3D CAD models to Inventor 8. 2D to 3D Tool for Inventor create 3D models from 2D data 7. Project Spark get started with lightweight BIM 6. Inventor Fusion Technology Preview combine parametric and direct modeling 5. AutoCAD LT Citrix Trial Player try AutoCAD LT online without installing 4. Revit Add-in for Autodesk Cloud Rendering submit Revit files to Autodesk Cloud rendering 3. Google Earth Extension for AutoCAD-based products work with Google Earth and DWG files 2. Project Vasari try conceptual modeling with cloud-based analysis And what should come as no surprise, the most popular technology preview in 2011 was: 1. 123D Catch / Project Photofly convert 2D photographs to 3D models via the cloud Thanks to everyone who makes Autodesk Labs possible. Without a community, it's just a web site. Without downloads and actual usage, it's just all talk. Thanks for trying these technology previews and proving meaningful feedback. Tabulation is alive in the lab. Go to the original post...
