This would be an invaluable feature, creating voids to smooth off sharp edges is a very clunky way of doing things but is often the only option that works!
I want this as an option to floors and slabs, i.e. select an element and all top corners are chamfered, then de-select individual sides as needed. In other words, each line forming the sketch of a slab has an internal parameter that turns on or off the chamfer.
Like all mature CAD softwares we should have the ability to fillet or chamfer edges within the family editor. Using a void sweep works for simple cases however is time consuming and fails when applied to multi curved edges.
Revit is an amazing and smart software for engineering, that is why I am seeking to help to develop it to have all the options we may need to design, and to make it fully useful.
therefore, it is an annoying point, that there is no opportunity in Revit massing to make the edges and joints filleted or chamfered, since it is a must specially in the organic designs.
I hope this idea can be achieved in the next versions
Coming from beginings in AutoCAD a commonly used command I always used was chamfer.
Can you please add this for use in Drafting Views when drawing detailed linework, as well as any other areas (eg family editor etc) where you can do linework.
And like AutoCAD it would be good to have the ability to key in the size of the chamfer without having to click into another distance area on the screen (this is equally frustrating with the fillet command in Revit)
Being a keyboard shortcuts guy, the continual need to take the cursor away from where you're working in Revit is difficult to get used to.
By the way: There is no explicit Fillet command in Revit ! It is presented only as "Arc/Fillet" contour option inside many commands.
Revit is still drenched into obsolete architectural drafting techniques. BIM is NOT architecture. BIM is not even engineering. It is beyond all that. Just make a predictive and responsive interface like Sketchup has. No more redundant buttons in many menus: Component, Architectural Column vs. Structural Column, etc
Totally agree, coming from ACAD/Inventor where it is a couple of clicks to add a fillet or chamfer, thsi is SADLY LACKING in Revit. To Model in place > void sweep > select the path, draw the profile, complete that command then cut as well, come on Autodesk, you can do better than this!
3D Modeling tools in Revit are one of the reasons it becomes so difficult to promote it as a powerful modeling software. Not when it is compared to modern alternatives.
Seriously, Revit comes off looking like a very unprofessional tool. The time it takes to model relatively simple solid forms is unreasonable. So building one's own family libraries is badly hobbled. At the very least, if Revit can't create its own 3D chamfer tools, then it should allow more robust importing of complex forms from other modeling programs into the family editor. The import procedure is equally as frustrating as chamfer procedure.
It is 2022 and no sign of a CHAMFER command. It would be so much easier if it was possible to have a CHAMFER command which could be used to chamfer the top edges of a wall rather than modelling a wall with a chamfer included in its sketch or worse still, modelling a void and using it to cut the chamfer out of the wall. Having 2 commands where 1 is enough makes no sense.
It's not a problem in Inventor as everything starts as a sketch but Revit is supposedly above that. Why not introduce a CHAMFER command and make all our lives easier?
