On behalf of the Revit User Group DACH, which represents hundreds of customers, we ask for more flexible stairs, especially the monolithic stairs in Revit which lack a way to model and edit the correct shape of the riser base and top end connection profiles to meet the required constructions. With that higher flexibility it will also be possible to align the kink lines of two runs of a staircase what is also key for Architects. Picture number 1 shows three ways of stair base end connections that are possible at the moment, but those are neither meeting standard requirements nor possible to build (too sharp or finishing floor not possible to build):     Picture number 2 shows examples of required correct stair bases (end connections) that are not possible to model with Revit stairs functionalities, those were modeled as in-place families.     Picture number 3 shows a further example of a required stair end and top base including connection notch. The main focus here should be the requirement of aligned kink lines.   Show More

Currently, when exporting to DWG from Revit, the Cut/Surface Pattern of Structural Framings, Foundations, Columns is placed in the same layer as the structure itself. It should be possible to assign a separate DWG layer to the Cut/Surface Pattern for these structural elements, like it is possible for Walls and Floors. This option will make working in Revit-exported DWGs easier for the users, as the visibility, color, and pattern of the hatch layer will be controlled directly from AutoCAD. Show More

Currently, layer and color mapping for Imported categories are locked in DWG export settings. Imported DWG files in the project will keep the original layer settings (as defined in AutoCAD), but in case of imported DWGs inside families, everything is placed on a single layer and color (G-IMPT, color 8). Users would like to be able to modify these settings directly in Revit, or for the imported DWGs to keep the original settings.  Show More

The ability to apply a filter on a layer in a floor or wall. Currently if you apply a filter to a given floor or wall it applies the filter to all layers. If you only require a specific layer in the buildup to to have a filter applied the current option is to change the material properties. This would aid in quickly applying changes to specific layers without having to scroll or search for various layers in the materials., as everything would be pre setup up and all in one place.

Let's admit it, we all throw a bunch of money at Autodesk every year. They could take some of that money and invest it in getting us some better built in families. I mean, really, some of this stuff looks like it was created in a high school drafting class. When is the last time you have seen a urinal that looks like this?   This toilet was modeled with its seat on backwards... Is this what we have come to accept from a product that is supposed to be at the forefront of the industry. We disserve better (or at least should expect better for our $$$).     Show More

Make it possible to make a Revit version, with the functions from Revit lt, but with an option to add plug-in software to render. I work with the full version of Revit on a daily basis. I'm not even using 50% of the programs functions, but I have to use the full version to be able to render in external software - That dosen't make any sense. I'm not saying that Autodesk just have to add it to Revit lt, I will gladly pay some extra money to get that exstra function in a new version, I just think It's unnecessary to pay full price, for something you don't use.

Invert Currently when in a 3D view and you turn on a section box and adjust to suit it shows what is on the inside of the section box. By activating a invert option it will hide everything in the section box and only show what is outside of this. to better understand the idea please see this youtube link Open 3D View in Revit Tutorial - Balkan Architect    Multiple Section Box ability to have a multiple mix of inverted and non-inverted section boxes as required   Show More

Right now in schedules there is the possibility to change only one single value at a time, but very often we have the same elements which receive a new value for a parameter. It would be helpful if we could change this value for all of them at once and not need to highlight them in the model and then change the parameter value in the model. Show More

I would like to suggest a possibility to load family types from the library in a different language version than the current Revit session.   Currently, when trying to load family types saved in TXT from another language library than the Revit session, a warning message appears, saying that the parameters in the TXT file header were not recognized. Current workarounds for this are time-consuming, relying on the user manually changing the header in the TXT file.    The expected solution is to be able to automatically map and read parameters from TXT files created in other language versions when working with Revit in English. There is a need to use Revit in English while using family types from other language libraries, especially in multilingual company environments.      Show More

The ability to specify if the bordered/boxed area is opaque or transparent. Currently Text can be set to opaque but area between text and border is transparent. The should probably be an option too for extending the opaque option beyond the border outline to give border a little breathing room. Show More

I'm not sure wether this subject has been submitted before, nevertheless I'd like to post the following issue which me and my colleagues encounter.   The action: Once a group is created and an annotations group has been added to them.  The problem: Once the group is mirrored in the X and/or Y axis, the results are disappointing (see the attachment) (this happens with Revit 2020 and Revit 2021)   The Question: Is there a solution/fix for this? and not a work around?   Show More

Why oh why do we have to expand the only category "Lines" in the line style editor each time we open it.   For the love of god, can Autodesk make this category expanded by default or even better, don't show the parent "line" category and simply just show all the lines we want to edit. I can't believe Autodesk has left this, this way for so long. Sloppy.       Show More

Currently when you are working in a 3D view and trying to insert a DWG you are only given the option to select the last created level which in most cases will cause the DWG to the placed in the wrong place and you need to do extra steps to place it at your desired level. In 2D plan view you can select from all existing levels which is exactly what is expected! It does not make sense to have this option in a 2D view but not in a 3D view.   Show More

a very old and I think many people ask for it.  3ds max can accept Revit files with no problem at all. everything can be modified, remodeled, stretched, and basically do anything with it. however, that not the case for Revit.  Revit can only import 3ds max models/files in a very weird, triangulated, and messy form.  i think any architect who can use both 3ds max and Revit will agree that modeling organic forms and shapes in max is easier with more control on the shape.    I wish that we can import 3ds max models into Revit as a mass without the weird triangulating shapes and actually have the ability to create floors/roofs/walls from the mass.  Show More

currently while modeling a floor I have two choices to create a sloping floor.  1- use the slope arrow in-floor sketch mode. (ideal)  2- modify elements and manually control the corners/points and change their height.    while the second one is easy, it's not practical and can create weird breakings/zones especially if the floor is not unified (the profile of the floor is unsymmetrical or circular)    using the first method is perfect, however, I can only use one sloping arrow in one direction.  I would love to have the ability to slope my floors in two different directions since this is very common in many projects I worked on, especially while modeling the outdoor slab/path.  Show More

Parameters and Schedules available for Shaft Openings   Currently, it is not possible to create a Schedule for the Shaft Openings elements. When looking at the Shaft Openings Properties there are no Parameters like Widht/Depth/Height visible.     The expected behavior is the ability to create Schedules for Shaft Openings to calculate the volume or internal wall area based on basic geometric parameters like width/depth/height.

There are many commands that have no associated keyboard shortcuts, this idea is made to address the scattered ideas on missing command shortcuts. Please submit your shortcut requests below so they are all gathered and organised in one place. In my experience, one thing most of these commands have in common is that they are only found in buttons on toolbars, menus, windows, the properties panel or project browser, but no keyboard shortcuts was associated to them.
