Hi,   I have been using Revit MEP since the 2011 release.  I noticed that the stainless steel press fit families are no longer available in the library since the 2013 release.  I have the fittings that I used in my template file, which I upgraded, but the 2016 version does not provide the look up table.  Therefore the result I was getting is a fitting that states it is the correct size, but in fact it is not.   I have imported  the look up table for the copper fittings into the stainless steel family, as they look exactly the same and this works.  However, I think it would be sensible to provide the stainless steel press fit families with look up tables in the new releases, as they are used frequently and will cause issues for other users.   Thank you Jillian Show More

Hello Autodesk,   The wall, floors, ceilings, roofs, stairs, topography and a few more are NOT a category that normaly is available in Revit. With a workaround this category can be achieved. The problem is that it is NOT showing the right area. In the example (see attached file) the area should be 1square meter. (1m2).   Regards,   Ramon van den Else Show More

mostly what happens is that when we used to draw stairs or wall ,if lines area  overlapped  then there is a message TIN TIN !  error , rather than showing errors, the stairs or wall can be formed with the overlapped line OR should there be any command which delete the overlapped line automatically and prevents any warning and initiate the formation.   Show More

It would be nice when organising stacked walls and editing their attributes to be able to select the element from the preview and it automatically selected the necessary part in the corresponding table. It would also be helpful to show which side the offsets are from, a marker etc? It's quite ambiguous at present. Show More

Minor annoyance, but once in a blue moon ToolTips will float over my witness lines and dimension strings and hotspots.  In the middle of an operation, needing to zoom/move/wiggle around to get the tooltip away from something I need to see or click on, is SUPER annoying.  It would be super awesome if the tooltip could float out of the way in these situations.

I found out that masse's materials are not included at the time of generating a material takeoff schedule. It would be nice if you could include this, because you could schedule the exact amount of earth extraction by modeling masses. By doing this, you should be able to calculate how many trucks you would need in a suposed scenario or even to obtain precise amounts to calculate your costs in a construction site.    I hope this info turns useful.   Regards,     Nicolas     Show More

Default Wall Constraint settings are defined by the Project Template wall constraint settings at the time of save.   A lot of effort is spent re-setting the wall constraints to the 'same' (but different from the default) settings every time a wall is placed in any given configuration. We all agree that modifying the Project Template to get different wall constraints to stick is not really a viable option (which would not affect the current project anyway - only new projects based upon the Template).   If I am placing walls on the first floor (default setting) in the morning, but then come back after lunch to place walls on the second floor, every wall I place on the second floor has to have the wall constraints reset, each and every time. If by 5pm, I am building the foundation walls, which have a common T.O. Footing constraint, but which also have numerous T.O. Foundation offsets, not having to reset the wall base constraints each time would be a blessing.   Would it make sense for Revit to change this parameter to allow the most recently used wall constraint settings to define the current 'default' settings, so that as we build walls, at any given moment, the constraint settings 'stick'?   Brilliant idea, no?   ---   While Autodesk is at it, please relocate the 'top' of wall constraints to be located above the wall base constraints in the Properties Palette, so as to be a little more intuitive, e.g., "the top of the wall is above the base of the wall."   Thank you!

Add tab for the  framework  to  calculate the  quantities  (m2 or  m3 ) and to show the detalis of frame such as place of support and other details related with framworks. make plaugin that make link between the Revit and Navisworks anf the function of this link is to import the time line (time of tasks ) and there are aplace explain followings ( drawings and 3d drawings , specifications and other details related with constructions ).and create alret to be attention for every task related with that day . add feature related with coordinations ( x, y and z) .Add tab for persentation to simplify it  and add feature when I make the arrow on the column (for example ) show me some details ( quantities . x,y,z and others ) .Add features related with road constrution ..   KInd  Regards Show More

As a building envelope contractor we need to be able to order materials from the model, or our version of the model. The problem is, most materials are not ordered by area, for example, insulation layers on a inverted hotmelt roof, these are typically ordered by 600mm X 1200mm X thickness. We need to calculate how many boards would be required, keeping wastage and site cutting to a minimum. These boards are typically laid with staggered joints, typically, 300mm from the 600mm edge between adjacent rows. this is relatively simple on rectangular roofs but quite complex on irregular shaped roofs. Often, the simplest soloution is to draw the board layout and manually optimize this, which means doing this work in Revit has no advantage over doing it in CAD, but as we are required to deliver a model as well as drawings it actually adds to our workload.   A similar situation is true when it comes to scheduling the elements that make up the hotmelt system itself, The bitument component is very easy as this is just area / coverage per layer required. However there are reinforcement fleeces and capping sheets that form part of the system, these materials typically come on rolls of a set size typically 2m X 20m long, these need laying with a 150mm side lap to the adjacent run and end laps of 150mm between rolls in the same run. Again this is a very manual process.   There must be some way that we could automate the creation of parts based on rules, that could at least get us pary of the way there. Show More

a tool that allows us to create set downs / ups of a nominal distance into slabs. For example, set down for wet areas and slab edges or block out zones above for service runs. Current methods such as a creating a full depth opening (with edit boundary or shaft tool) and then placing thinner floors inside or face/floor based void families are clunky, error prone and slow the model down.
