Bugs in Revit 2026.1

There are number of productivity killing bugs in Revit 2026.1

I noticed this started in R2025 and it is still there in R2026: 

The "Split Gap" command does not do anything.
You click the icon, and try to select a line to split and then nothing happens.
The work around is unproductive where you select the split icon, select 2 points, then delete the unwanted line to create a gap.

When editing a wall to create wall panels.
Say you have a cladding panel that is eg 1200mm x 3000mm, and you want those panels to have a gap of 20mm between them.  The top lines of the panels keep automatically moving one line in the gap to the adjacent line, closing the gap when you try to fillet the corners, particularly when the top line is at an angle.

When you fillet this:

This happens:

h_temling_10_3-1749352951354.png

There used to be 2 vertical lines here, but the one on the right automatically moved to the one on the left.

I can't see where where that suggests the lines are locked together, so I don't see a reason why the lines of individual "rectangle cladding panels" should automatically join together.  They should remain as individual lines that can be trimmed, filleted, etc...

The trim function ends up with the same problem.

It only seems to happen when the top line is at an angle.

Even the align function does weird things.

For example I copied all the rectangular panels above the lower ones which saw them above the angled roof line.

I used the align command to align the top horizontal line with the roof slope.  That worked for the first panel.
When I did it for the adjacent panel, that panel top line aligned with the roof slop, except then the angled top line of the previous one I just changed automatically changed to horizontal, that same with the next one and the next one.

I am trying to avoid having to create individual cladding panels and then arraying them over the wall face.

One other annoying bug is that when you want to change the size value in the properties box using the number pad on your key board, Revit no longer allows you to highlight the value and delete it or use the backspace button.  Sometimes it thinks you want to delete the component and deletes it so you have to undo, then select the value you want to change again somewhere in the middle and hit the back space button then sometimes it deletes the number or allows you to add the numbers you want and then delete the numbers you don't.

Have you asked for help with any of these things before determining that they are "bugs"?

Have got anything of value to say?
I have never had these issues with older versions of Revit, just 2025 & 2026.

Yes.

 

I suggest asking for help before declaring bugs that require programming changes for issues that may be solvable at the user level.

Ok then, what is your solution as you obviously must know the answer, if it is not a bug, then what is it?

Split Gap is intended to be used on a select few kinds of elements such as a wall to create a gap of a specified width, to simulate tilt-up concrete walls for example. See image for the list of elements it works on. The Split tool's option Delete Inner Segment will allow you to pick twice and delete the segment between those pick points, which creates a "gap".

I am fully aware of what the function does as I have been using it on previous versions successfully.
My point here is that in 2025 and 2026 versions it stopped working.
It no longer creates a gap in the walls.
In fact when you select the icon, it actually does nothing at all.
There is an issue with the Icon as it doesn't activate any command.

Can't confirm, works as intended in both versions. Obviously a bug on your PC, but strange that it happens on two versions of Revit.

Sound silly, but try assigning a keyboard shortcut to it and activating it that way.

Also, reinstall, obviously.

Oh, and one more, completely absurd but colleague had a case where some command (forgot which one) wouldn't work on one monitor, but when he moves Revit to another monitor then it works.

You shouldn't assume that. I just haven't seen these issues come up so most likely they aren't bugs.

I have a colleague who's having this problem with AutoCAD. It works perfectly on one monitor, but if he moves the window to the other, it lags completely.
He moves the mouse and AutoCAD lags behind by about 1.5 seconds.😅

That's a hardware issue, not Autodesk and they are completely different programs..

I know, I know. I was just commenting as a contribution to emphasize that these issues happen often.

Actually, in 2026 the command has MORE options:

vs. 2018 where it could only split walls:

Make sure your Revit is up to date, and so is your windows, .NET and Nvidia drivers.

If monitors are set to different scaling factors, then that causes weird graphic issues too. Set all monitors to the same scaling, and ignore "Recommended" values
