In Revit the  lines types you can have is really pathetic compared to AutoCADs - dashes, dots and continious lines. (And the ofcourse the Insulation that has its own button to make, and the revision cloud if that counts...). Would be very helpful to be able to make various line types with shapes in 2d - like tracks, talus and I thing that was already suggested - with text in it. Out from deperation (again) we are using detail line family with text in it to display  ELEC, HYDRO, Xs (for fence), etc... but comes a curve and there the solution stops. We are also forced to do untinkable things to a surveyors drawings in order to preserve their line types in Revit. Show More

We have non-rectangular crop regions.  Can we please have non-rectangular scope boxes so we don't have to copy/paste the non-rectangular crop region to 30 views....... Show More

Isn't it time to devise something a little more modern for patterns? Hard to believe that the 35 year-old PAT file format is still the "technology" of choice for this. Would love to see a modern pattern creator that could do any kind of pattern. Including: rectilinear, random, and especially radial. It is just silly that we have to use model lines and arrays or material hacks to simple brick arches or radial floor patterns.    A new pattern technology and editor please...  Show More

Come on. It's time to just let us make tables from scratch in Revit. No more crazy Excel workarounds and no more hijacking a category I'm not going to use and hacking its schedule. I just want to be able to make a simple table straight in Revit. Show More

The new tabbed views feature in Revit 2019 is great! Thank you for it.   It is a bit confusing when you have multiple project files open. You might have views in different projects that are the same name. It would be great if you can categorize the tabs per project by using color coding for example.   Show More

1.  Ability to Tag Legend Components 2.  Ability to rotate Legend Components 3.  Option for "Floor Plan View" for Floors, Ceilings, etc. 4. Ability to Override Graphics, apply Filters, etc to Legend Components   Work arounds for these issues are too many, and leave too much room for error.  A legend should be representative of the items in your model.  It should have as much functionality as your floor plans do because it is meant to be a visual guide of the items in said floor plan.  MUST HAVE FULL FUNCTIONALITY!

It is quite common to have general notes or even a text object with a leader that says something like "FOR WIDGET TYPE A, SEE DTL 1, SHT A-101".  But to do this I currently have to either place my text and leave whitespace where I'll come back later and place a separate view reference OR type in the view reference by hand which will require that I manually update it if the view and/or change gets renumbered.   Please allow me to insert a view reference into my text objects.   I'm envisioning something similar to FIELDS in AutoCAD.

Please allow the revit template to hold predefined worksets. We use worksets in 100% of our projects and everytime we have to recreate them manualy (we don like the method to create project with worksets and use/copy that as it is prone for mistakes) Worksets are invaluable part of our workflow.   Show More

Hi everyone 1. Standard schedules in revit looks very simple like this: but what if I need something like this: I think we need schedule constructor for creating pattern for one element and automatically distribute this pattern for other elements. for sample above pattern will be looks like this:   in constructor will be necessary simply move every cell to right position and add information to cell, such as parameter name, parameter value and pure text. This will be looks like a formula in every cell, for example: parameter1name + ": "+ parameter1value (result of this formula for example: Area: 25.32) 2. Second idea: add legend view to special type parameter for elements and possibility to add this type parameter to schedule. This will be better then image parameter for many situations. Show More

In general, I agree with this post (especially if we are speaking about railing edit tools): https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/railing-overhaul-resolution-of-limitations/idi-p/7085622   But for creating new railing I suppose will be better to kill existing tool and create rail model constructor. Why kill: - very difficult for newcomers - inflexible How railing constructor could be looks like: this is interface where user create a part (one or some parts) of railing system from prepared families and create rules for distribute these parts in railing system. In general, for railing system we have 4 main type of parts: straight section, arc section, inclined section and transitions - any of part must be tune in railing constructor.    For example: This is illustration of constructor viewport (but, exclude transitions, any part must be tune separately). For any position on the picture user choose the family and create the rules of placement. For example: family 7 set on the base of family 4, family 5 set in crossection of family 2 and family 4... After this, user create a sketch, where he chooses a type of part for any segment of sketch:  If length of segment on the sketch 1000 millimeters and type of part for this segment have a length 500 mm, then Revit generate 2 similar parts, if segment have 900 mm, then last part must be automatically cut off.   When railing system is ready, user get some tools for editing it: - manually replace any family in system or replace a whole part - change the position for any family - change the path for any rail, like this:   And of course, any family in railing system must be available in schedule and parts of railing system must be available in legends.

It would be great to be able to view rooms and spaces in 3D views, and assign color schemes to the views.  This would assist with pinning down bounding issues, as well as allowing us to create things like stacked isometrics to convey how a building functions. Show More

So often we are left with powerful data within the Revit model that is not schedule-able nor available in view filters. The data is there, but we cannot use it, in what are supposed to be core BIM functions like schedules and filters. Why is it that we can access those parameters and parameters values through the API or Dynamo, but that Revit itself cannot? Makes no sense. Open the data floodgates please! Show More

there is something annoying that makes many of my colleagues create a "legend" phase for just for legend purpose.     For instance, we can tag material and layers on a wall composition , but why couldn't we dimension the overall width or even tag the typeMark of the wall?   who use only material tag?  Show More
