Hey Autodesk FIX GROUPS!!!

[Anonymous]

Hey Autodesk

I know you cats read these posts so:

If you guys release another version of Revit without fixing groups you
should all be fired. I'm sorry but in their current form they are useless,
a waste of time, crap. I am drawing a symetrical building. Theoreticly
(sp) I should be able to build stuff on one side group it and mirror it so I
don't have to draw it twice. This doesn't work in practice. I get so many
stupid group errors its not funny. I have almost drawn the building twice.
When it comes time to change things I have to do it twice. I'm sorry to
vent but come on guys - enough with new features fix the ones you have. I'm
serious, this feature is so bad you guys should really be ashamed of
yourselves. GROUPS ARE BROKEN!

-Thanks for the time. Flame away!

I cannot chime in onto the quality of groups (or lack thereof), but in a
rant about fixing items, you catch yourself with a misspelling but lack the
effort to correct yourself. Doesn't really help your argument much,
theoretically, anyway.

Groups are broken. They need to work. Many of us have been very descriptive
over the years - yes, years - about what is wrong with groups and what we
need groups to do.

I think the whole 'fix existing issues first before new features' is
felt by many, including myself.

Is anyone at Autodesk actually listening? Evidently not if the Revit
programmers haven't done anything in "years". The problems with groups and
the way Autodesk has/hasn't addressed the problems (as well as other things)
makes me seriously question my investment in Revit. Is it that the
programmers aren't trying to fix groups, aren't listening to users or that
groups are so problematic they can't be fixed?

yes, they are listening, and groups were addessed a year ago at the release
of revit 8.0, and again at 8.1. Beleive me, the Factory is working on many
things, including group issues.

Hey guys, I am very new to Revit, so haven't been around for past group discussions. Can someone give me a brief synopsis of things I should avoid trying to do with groups? Thanks.
