    <description>&lt;P&gt;If we are going for pie-in-the-sky- revit could use a major overhaul (Revit user since 2006)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;This is in 5 parts:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Family categories&lt;/STRONG&gt; open for editing/purging -base system components remain with GUIDs intact&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Family-dependent subcategories with their own GUID- Creating "door.frame" makes the "frame" compatible with all "door" family types, scheduled by its own subtype, or as a subtype of door (e.g. door schedule parameter door.frame[all subcategories of door available here to door.frame]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;OL start="2"&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Linetypes&lt;/STRONG&gt; editable//accessible by GUID in the linetype editor:&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Show/ Use&lt;/STRONG&gt; [&lt;EM&gt;None &lt;/EM&gt;|&lt;EM&gt;&amp;lt;System&amp;gt; &lt;/EM&gt;|&lt;EM&gt; NickName&lt;/EM&gt; |&lt;EM&gt; &amp;nbsp;Generative&lt;/EM&gt;]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;None= not allowed/shown for use in this project&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&amp;lt;System&amp;gt;=use default system name (greyed out for non-system items)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;NickName to show user-defined names for sets&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Generative = use generative system to generate names and sets (Given formula and data generate line type and name them by a formula)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Substitute&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;Linteype (For each non-conforming linetype)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Map unused linetypes to the next adjacent&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Map imported mismatched linetypes to those allowed&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[conform] to permanently re-map the linetype&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[Save] list mappings [GUIDs -&amp;gt; Remapped]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;OL start="3"&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;U&gt; All&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;EM&gt;components are &lt;STRONG&gt;shared&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; and reliant upon #1 to identify family sub-content. Sub-content can be brought into a family along with generic annotations.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Open database allows for any component and host components in families to be referenced using intellisense. E.g. in a door family, the "host&amp;lt;WALL&amp;gt;.structure.core.width" is accessible as a variable, as would be " host&amp;lt;WALL&amp;gt;.structure.core[1].material.identity.type&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Database integrated and accessible on a LIVE bases - e.g. Built into SQL
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;where database can be queried,&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;or manipulated by an outside source.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Common database lookup could provide 'open source' subfamilies with common GUIDs provided VIA blessed content by Autodesk for use by all (Translated options available for "Nicknames" - GUIDS remain the same for same content- us Machine learning to map across languages and concepts).&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;VB style formulas with VB functions (Including concatenate, string manipulation and REGEX!)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All menu and components can be modified/remapped - e.g.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;coarse/med/fine can be remapped and supplemented: LOD100&amp;lt;Coarse&amp;gt;, LOD200&amp;lt;med&amp;gt;, LOD300, LOD400&amp;lt;fine&amp;gt;, LOD500&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Profiles and other components can tie into this system using the &amp;lt;SYSTEM&amp;gt; names or NickNames (Nick names appears on the list)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And soforth- a complete overhaul.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This is great list for 2020 updates.&amp;nbsp; But I'm wondering what is the most 'complained' about yet simple Revit feature over the past, let's say, 5 years (Possibly longer even)..... which needs to be fixed?&amp;nbsp; Come on - you all know what I'm speaking of.....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;RAILINGS!!&amp;nbsp; This one is very simple Autodesk - just go get a few seats of ArchiCad and copy how they do theirs.&amp;nbsp; NOT KIDDING!&amp;nbsp; I have used both platforms (Archicad since 1996, Revit 2003) and Archicad completely rocks on railings and stairs over all others.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If you have never used Archicad, take the time to test it and do a compare - you're eyes will be opened as to what's possible.&amp;nbsp; Oh, and yes backwards compatibility is possible.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Happy New Year!!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
