How about a general Revit Forum?

[MiWolff]

When I posted an idea to the Architectural Revit Forum some minutes ago, I did so because there is no general Revit forum to be had (well maybe revitforum.org). The the idea would be to introduce that.

Just because one's own background is in architecture does not necessarily mean the questions cannot be answered by other user factions of Revit.

Maybe general Revit is a bit too martial. How about a Basic Revit Forum.

Your suggestion to introduce a "Basic Revit Forum" is a thoughtful idea, especially considering that Revit is used across various disciplines, not just architecture. A general or basic Revit forum could serve as a central hub for users from different backgrounds—be it architecture, engineering, construction, or design—to exchange ideas, ask questions, and share solutions. This approach would encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and make it easier for users to find answers that aren't confined to a specific field. It would also foster a more inclusive community where all Revit users can contribute and learn, regardless of their specialization.

I've voted for this because I agree that general Revit platform related questions should have a forum of their own, but did you know that you can search within every Revit forum at once by changing "This board" to "This category".  I didn't, but I just figured it out.

@Ric_Weber Rick Weber, you make a good job! Well done! Very good!

Introducing a "General Revit Forum" sounds like a fantastic idea! It would create a centralized space for users from all disciplines—architecture, MEP, structure, and beyond—to share knowledge and answer cross-discipline questions. While specialized forums are great for niche discussions, many Revit-related challenges (workflows, interface tips, troubleshooting) are universal.

Rebranding it as a "Basic Revit Forum" could help users feel more welcomed, regardless of their expertise, fostering a more inclusive learning environment. It's worth proposing this to Autodesk or existing forum moderators to gauge interest.

I like the idea of a General Revit Forum. Sometimes, questions don’t fall neatly into one category, and having a centralized space would make it easier for users to connect across disciplines. For more thoughts about it, visit site. It could also help newcomers feel less overwhelmed and more encouraged to participate. It's definitely something worth considering!

That’s a really solid point. A dedicated general Revit forum would definitely make sense since so many questions overlap across disciplines — whether it’s architecture, MEP, or structural work. Having one space could encourage broader collaboration and avoid the need to cross-post.

I’ve noticed the same in other areas where communities benefit from being more centralized. For example, in fleet and asset tracking, centralizing discussions makes it easier to share resources and best practices — that’s partly why I’ve been building Flotilla Tracker, where the focus is on simplifying scattered data into one hub. A “basic” or “general” Revit space could do the same for users here.

I wonder if rather than "General Revit"> too martial as MiWolff said, or "Basic Revit"> makes it sound like "Revit "101"" in my mind.  How would "Overall Revit" sound?  Or, even though it's a bit long, "Multi-Discipline Revit"?
