Please bring Building Pads back!

This is my regular system of work and now you have taken it away. I make my living out of this work and changing things like this is a big negative. If there is a new tool fine, keep it as additional option, but don't take away something that clearly being using in regular daily workflow for years. It suddenly stops workflow and all work in progress and creates too much down time

 

Not a happy customer

 

if a new tool is coming is then its additional and use education to transition it out so that both the user and the creators can work through the issues both ends.

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones i appreciate your comment. 

The building pad tool is an imperative feature for our team.

Whistout this one, we will not upgrade or even recommend Revit 2024 version.

Please help us!

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones In the update (REVIT-2024), when making the cut, the volume data of the excavation doesn't appear. The cut and fill parameters are already there, it's just that this data should be filled in automatically. To better understand, I explained it in comment number 3 of this post.

Pads are neccesity for Revit LT

Please reinstate them or something equivalent

@wisedrawing  It doesn't say it specifically, but it is included with the item "Excavate a toposolid with a floor, roof, or another toposolid". The card is linked to this Idea.

This is only one of the reasons I'm looking elsewhere for my company.....The sooner I can get away from Autodesk the better.

Is this where our building PADs is heading for 2024? if so how long before we see it released and will it be available in Revit LT?

 

Also what will that mean to existing building pads in projects? I cannot have any down time converting all my current works in process to update all the existing building PADs into something new! I feel that the wish of many customers has not changed, put building PADs back as well as any other additional feature!

 

This is why we just need the PADs back as well, how hard can it be to put a feature in that was already working?

 

In its current form, I have spent considerable time going through all the alternatives for Revit LT 2024 without Building PADs and there is no viable option (without a massing void tool which is able to be used as a cutting tool, but is not available in Revit LT) Therefore until this upgrade of being able to use a floor as an excavation tool (much like PADs already were) I cannot use my LT 2024, which I have paid for months ago, until this excavation feature is released.

 

Can we please have an update? The Road Maps are some small piece of information, but they do not provide a business with any timelines or ability to make decisions to a calendar.

Building pads were a great thing and not having them is terrible. 

Please restore this feature

In the meanwhile, please have a look at this post and see if it helps anything at all

Yes, please bring building pads back. We shouldn't need an Autodesk degree to use these programs.

hi revit Users, 

 

I am totally upset with the lack of the pad tools in the new 2024 revit version, since it is pretty much missing in the construction of the projects. Does anyone has a good comments, feedbacks or solutions about it?

 

thanks,
