Give all families the option to be cuttable. It is a bit ridiculous we don't have the option to do this regardless of whether or not you'd normally do it for certain things such as furniture or MEP.   My drawings have plumbing fixtures that look out of place compared to the rest of the elements in the section.

Currently, walls, doors, and floors have a Function parameter, but you're limited to Interior/Exterior, plus a few other categories for walls.  This can be useful for filtering, but isn't quite robust enough. A typical use case for us would be to set a view to only show exterior and unit demising walls while hiding the partitions of an , the demising walls don't really fit in any of the available functions. It would be nice if we could create new functions, either as a type parameter, or similar to how we can create new object subcategories.  (I know we could just create a new custom parameter and assign it to the assemblies, but I'm reluctant to create a custom solution with 75% overlap of the stock functionality.)

Like Ducts and Pipes, it would be great to have section parameter to Cable Trays and Conduits. Show More

Currently, Revit limits custom work plane creation to selecting existing physical elements or predefined levels. This is restrictive especially in analytical modeling where elements like inclined panels or members often need to reference non-existent or virtual planes.     Introduce the ability to create a work plane by selecting three points in space or by entering coordinates- similar to the functionality in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis. This feature would allow users to model inclined analytical geometry more accurately and efficiently, without the need to rely on placeholder physical elements just to define a reference plane.

I would like to propose that system families could also read the information of the rooms they belong to in the schedules like the loadable families, they could even use <varies> when they exist in more rooms   Show More

Currently, when exporting pipe, there is no option to include the diameter in the layer names. This makes it challenging to identify the pipes based on their diameter in the DWG file. It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist in implementing a solution that allows us to export the pipes with the diameter reflected in the layer names, facilitating easier identification and handling of the exported files.

Temporary view properties are great, but there are three issues with the "Temporarily Apply Template Properties" option: If a template is chosen to apply temporarily to a view it then appears in the "Recent Templates" list.  This list is not user specific and there is not a way to edit this list to remove templates Request: Make this list user specific Request: Allow the list to be edited, turned off and/or require confirmation to add to the list, particularly if it remains project wide Once there are templates in the recent template list a view with temporary view properties activated will sometimes override the temporary changes to apply the first template in the list.  I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact scenario that causes it, but I typically notice it at some point after syncing when I return to the view.  This is very frustrating, since it can make a view unusable that would have been fine keeping temporary properties activated for the rest of the session, and time consuming if I need to go through and reselect the desired overrides.   Request: Fix the program so recent templates never override user modifications in temporary view settings   For example: On a current project I was using temporary view properties consistently without issue.  A team member working on detailing used the "Temporarily Apply Template Properties" option to apply niche detail templates to views twice.  These "recent templates" now appear in the dialogue for all users and can't be removed from the list even though they aren't ones that are likely to be reused and are irrelevant to most of the team.  Further, I am now consistently having issues where views that I am actively using with temporary view properties applied (one a working view where I've turned off dimensions to better see the elements, another a sheeted view where I was overriding patterns for a discussion with a subcontractor) have changed to be the first template in the recent templates list (in this case, for a window plan detail).  This is highly undesirable, and the only way to fix it is to reset temporary view properties and then temporarily override the properties again.

Would it be feasible to add a polyline feature in Revit similar to AutoCad's, with the ability to tag length or area if polyline is closed, and attach the symbols at start or end?     Show More

I suggest that we have an option of "hard modelling" for MEP pipes and ducts that when turned on, placing a pipe or a duct in a 2D view or a 3D view will check immediately for clashes with other MEP elements in the model, and suggest changing the level for example or just giving a warning at least. If people are restricted from the beginning not to clash, we will never end up with thousands of clashes that will never be able to solve one by one. I understand that this option might slow down the drafting process but it can be optional also. Especially in cases where clashes have a high priority compared to modelling speed this option would be very beneficial. It can also attach a property to the element indicating if it was created using the "hard modelling" option or no so that we can know, if later on a clash is detected with that element, what or who is the reason.

I would like to be able to include keynote symbols (customizable, hexagon, triangle, circle, square etc.) within the keynote schedule around the number that they already correlate with. Preferably the same file and symbol as the keynote family. Evan a separate family that can be loaded into both the keynote and into the schedule would work.  I think its comical that such a basic and standard practice of architecture was overlooked in a program designed for specifically for architecture.   Show More

In Revit Structure, stairs are currently treated purely as architectural elements, which prevents them from being included in the analytical model. This presents a limitation when dealing with stairs that clearly serve a structural purpose and are made of structural materials.         Allow stairs to be marked as structural elements when composed of structural materials. Once marked, they should be convertible to analytical panels just like floors or walls. Similarly, Ramps should also be treated as structural floors and allow conversion to analytical panels. Implementing this would greatly improve the workflow for structural engineers, who currently must manually model equivalent analytical panels to represent stairs and ramps. Show More

Hi all I would like to request to add various shape editing feature to the Foundation Wall tool for the below. This tool in Revit currently doesn't have any other shape except rectangular, for editing or adding profiles so we can achieve foundation of various shape under Structural Foundation category. If there is a way to create foundation like Taper Foundation, Stepped foundation, sloped foundation, under structural foundation category it would really be great. Request everyone to vote & support this idea. Thankyou   Show More

Background: Autodesk Revit previously included a dedicated Timber Framing tool that supported specialized timber construction modeling. While steel and concrete structural features have seen continuous development and improvement in Revit, advanced timber framing capabilities were discontinued and essentially outsourced to third-party developers.   Current Revit Timber Capabilities: Revit does offer some basic tools for timber construction modeling: Beams and Joists: Manual placement and customization of wooden beams and joists Families: Creation of custom families for specific timber components Connections: Basic connection modeling, though without timber-specific automation However, these features require significant manual work and lack specialized timber framing tools such as automatic framing, sheathing, or CNC export functionality. The existing capabilities represent only the most basic requirements for timber construction modeling. Current Issue Architecture firms now face additional expenses when working with timber structures. Despite purchasing costly Revit licenses or the complete AEC Collection, companies must additionally invest in expensive add-ins to properly model timber constructions. This creates an unnecessary financial burden at a time when the construction industry is increasingly adopting timber as a sustainable building material. The gap between Revit's basic timber modeling capabilities and the specialized tools needed for efficient timber frame design forces users to purchase third-party solutions that often contain far more functionality than required for many projects. This represents both a financial inefficiency and a workflow disruption.   Suggestion: It would be beneficial if Autodesk would reintegrate timber framing capabilities into the core Revit platform. Even restoring the original Timber Framing tool functionality would be a significant improvement, as it would allow for basic timber construction modeling without requiring additional third-party solutions. Additional Consideration A key concern is that users often don't need comprehensive, feature-rich external tools to develop custom timber frame constructions with structural data. In many cases, firms are forced to purchase complex third-party add-ins only to use a small fraction (often less than 3%) of their functionality. A simpler, integrated solution within Revit would be more efficient and cost-effective for many users who only need basic timber framing capabilities. This improvement would align with the industry's shift toward more sustainable building practices and materials, and would provide better value to Revit users who are already investing substantially in Autodesk software.

Please implement the filtering method used in view filters for schedule filters. I've seen so many similar ideas: Like "OR" filters, ability to create more filters than the defined in the schedule, and others. If it were implemented like the view filters, it would solve all those issues, and many more. I mean, so many schedules are used for data control and project model healthy, and what better way to achieve this than to being able to use the same filters in both views and schedules. Show More

Most improvements in new Revit versions, while beneficial, often consist of minor adjustments that could easily be included in an upgrade or service pack. Adopting this approach would allow more time and focus for deeper, more meaningful enhancements. It would also help standardise the software version used across different projects. Currently, the constant release of new versions leads to several issues: Projects often rely on different Revit versions, creating inconsistencies; Multiple installations take up significant disk space; Upgrading families and project files becomes more complex; Opening older projects can be confusing or problematic. Additionally, a typical construction project — from early design stages to completion — usually spans around four years. This means users often end up having at least four different Revit versions installed simultaneously, just to keep up.   One ideia could be to release a new version every two years for example.

When 3D pipe views export to DWG. Pipes, the elevation corresponds to the center of the pipe relative to the associated level. However, it would be extremely useful if there were an option to control or select the elevation in the export based on either the invert level, top of the pipe, or bottom of the pipe. Show More
