As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the user experience and accessibility of Autodesk tools, we are considering expanding the availability of Autodesk Informed Design to our EU servers. Currently, this tool is only available on US servers, which can result in latency issues and reduced performance for our users within the EU region.   Benefits: Improved performance and reduced latency for EU users. Enhanced data sovereignty and compliance with EU data protection regulations. Greater accessibility and user experience for our diverse user base. We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts on this proposal. Please vote and comment if you believe that having Autodesk Informed Design available on EU servers would benefit your workflow and overall experience with our tools.   Thank you for your continued support and contributions to making Autodesk better!

I propose that each time a new variant is generated from a product definition it keeps the same family name as other variants from that product definition, but gives a new family type. At the minute each time a variant is generated it creates a new family name in the form of _1, _2, _3 and so on. This way you have numerous different families in Revit each with 1 family type.   What I propose would result in for example; 10 variants of a product definition, all with the family name in Revit "Assembly 01". All 10 variants then have different family types that can be driven off the model, different in the form of the _1, _2, _3 that currently occurs for the family name.   This solution is a lot cleaner for the Revit user, with only 1 Revit family per product definition, and numerous family types that are customizable upon generation of a new variant.         Show More

Hi All,   I would like to suggest an improvement to Informed Design regarding product definition management. At this time users cannot relocate, delete or manage product definitions once published in a project on the ACC. This creates issues when wanting to relocate or delete product definitions from a project. Ideally a user would be able to carry out these actions through the Informed Design Portal, where a user could see all published product definitions in a project, delete or move these product definitions as required.   This would allow users to correct mistakes, if a product definition was published in the wrong location and remove one if a model is completely obsolete.   Thanks a mill,   Matthew Show More

As current users of Autodesk Vault, we appreciate its value for storing and managing our Inventor parts, models, and assemblies. However, we've noted that to utilize Informed Design, files need to be saved locally on the user's machine. This presents a gap in the workflow, as it necessitates an additional step of transferring files from Vault to the local machine. We propose an enhancement to the Informed Design feature: direct integration with Autodesk Vault. This would allow users to work on files directly from Vault, removing the need for local storage and subsequent transfer of files. After making the necessary changes or additions, users could then publish the product definition directly from Vault.   The direct integration between Informed Design and Autodesk Vault would streamline the workflow, saving time and reducing the risk of errors that can occur during file transfers. It would also provide a more secure way of handling files, as they would remain within the Vault environment throughout the entire process.   We believe this feature would greatly benefit all users who work with both Autodesk Vault and Informed Design. We hope that this direct integration will be considered for inclusion in future releases, as it would significantly enhance the efficiency, security, and user-friendliness of these tools.   This Idea came directly from customers who participated in our Beta program - please continue to upvote and comment with your additional thoughts so the team can thoroughly prioritize and follow up with everyone who is interested in this Idea!

The current process of creating loadable Revit families does not allow users to specify their hosting preferences, such as face, wall, floor, ceiling, or roof. This can limit the flexibility and efficiency of our design workflows, as changes often need to be made post-creation to fit the family into the desired hosting environment.   We propose an enhancement to the family creation process, allowing users to select the hosting preferences during the initial creation of loadable Revit families. This feature would provide users with the option to specify whether the family is to be hosted on a face, wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or any other element.   This would allow for more precise placement and orientation of families within the design, and would save users the time and effort of adjusting the hosting post-creation. It would also allow for better planning and organization of the design, as users would be able to determine the hosting preferences at the very beginning of the creation process. This customizable hosting feature would enhance the flexibility and efficiency of Revit, allowing users to create more accurate and detailed designs. It would streamline the design process, improve the overall user experience, and contribute to more effective and efficient workflows.   We believe that this feature would greatly benefit all Revit users, and we recommend its inclusion in future updates to enhance the functionality and user-friendliness of the software.   This Idea came directly from customers who participated in our Beta program - please continue to upvote and comment with your additional thoughts so the team can thoroughly prioritize and follow up with everyone who is interested in this Idea!

The current functionality of transferring parametric (Building Information Modelling, or BIM) metadata from Autodesk Inventor to Revit serves its purpose, but it remains limited to basic parameters. It allows us to control geometry (size, shape), assign materials, and hide specific parts. Our product files often contain crucial information that architects require when we share these files with them. To this end, we propose a more comprehensive integration between Inventor and Revit that allows for a complete transfer of all BIM metadata, not just the basic parameters.   This enhanced integration would streamline our processes by making all necessary product information readily available in Revit. It would save time and eliminate the potential errors that might occur when manually entering data. The increased data exchange capabilities would also provide architects with a more complete understanding of our products, facilitating their work and improving the overall quality of their projects. By implementing this feature, Autodesk can significantly enhance the user experience, optimize workflows, and enable more detailed and accurate architectural designs. We believe this feature would greatly benefit all Inventor and Revit users who regularly exchange product data, contributing to a more seamless, efficient, and accurate design process.   This Idea came directly from customers who participated in our Beta program - please continue to upvote and comment with your additional thoughts so the team can thoroughly prioritize and follow up with everyone who is interested in this Idea!

At present, making alterations to a Revit family after it has been placed can be a convoluted process. This can lead to inefficiencies in our design workflows, as changes often need to be made post-placement. To streamline this process, we propose the introduction of an in-place editing feature for Revit families. This feature would allow users to make necessary adjustments directly to placed families within the Revit environment, eliminating the need to remove, edit, and re-insert the family into the design.   This in-place editing feature would significantly improve the flexibility and efficiency of our design processes. It would enable real-time adjustments, facilitating better design outcomes and reducing the time spent on making revisions. As a result, users can focus more on the creative aspects of their projects, and less on the logistical complications of making changes to placed families. This would not only save time and resources, but also lead to improved design quality and overall user satisfaction.   We believe that the introduction of this feature would greatly enhance the user experience of Revit, making it a more powerful and user-friendly tool for design and architecture professionals.   This Idea came directly from customers who participated in our Beta program - please continue to upvote and comment with your additional thoughts so the team can thoroughly prioritize and follow up with everyone who is interested in this Idea!

I would like to see that ability to add architectural units to my form.  When placing a structural element, if I want it to be 4' 5 1/4" I have to put it 4.4375 which can get a little tedious if I have a lot of those to calculate. Show More
