Current Situation: In Revit, users currently define the view range (Top, Cut Plane, Bottom, and View Depth) by inputting numerical values. While this method works, it can be cumbersome, especially when fine-tuning the view range to display specific parts of a model. It often requires trial and error to get the exact visual result. Proposed Solution: Introduce an option to control the view range interactively using a section box, similar to how 3D views are manipulated. By enabling users to adjust the view range visually in the plan or elevation view, this would offer a more intuitive and efficient workflow, allowing for precise adjustments without relying solely on numerical inputs. Benefits: Enhanced User Experience: This would make the process more intuitive, especially for users who are not familiar with precise numerical inputs or who want to make quick adjustments. Improved Workflow Efficiency: Reducing trial and error when setting view ranges would save time, particularly in complex projects. Better Visual Feedback: Real-time visual feedback on what parts of the model are included in the view range would reduce the guesswork and make it easier to achieve the desired display. Industry Alignment: This feature aligns with trends toward more intuitive, visual design tools. Similar visual manipulation tools exist in other design software, so incorporating this into Revit would be a natural enhancement to its user interface.       Note: This post was drafted with assistance from ChatGPT, an AI language model by OpenAI, to improve clarity and structure.

One thing that seems pretty common is to have details and notes in a template that likely need to be updated. However, Revit doesn't have great ways of indicating this. At our firm we have started using red boxes to highlight areas of text, a special note family that is toggleable in global parameters, and Red text notes in details to indicate text that needs changing. However, this also means that teams need to change things back and delete things which isn't ideal. I was wondering if maybe there was a way to have an option in the text editor that lets you highlight things temporarily until someone changes them. For example, I hightlight a title and it turns red, but if someone clicks on it and edits it, it is normal. no need to undo a setting, change styles or anything. Essentially the  highlight has two functions. 1. Make it clear where text needs review 2. Make it easy to change it without needing to worry about styling. simply clicking the highlight you can change the text (similar to placeholders in word processing software). Show More

Currently, when a circuit not yet linked to a panel is assigned to a switchboard, it is connected to the first available phase. For example there are 4 outlets being connected to Panel 1, one per group. (Group1@Phase A, Group2@Phase B, Group3@Phase C, Group4@Phase A) When selecting the 5th outlet and clicking the 'Power' button, it will automatically be assigned to Panel 1 as  group5@Phase B. When the circuit is transferred, with the Panel selector in the Ribbon, from one panelboard/switchboard to the other, its phase is kept. So Group5@Phase B from Panel 1 transferred to Panel 2 will become Group1@Phase B. It would be helpful to have an option to choose between: "Reset the Phase assignment to the first available or specific phase" and "Keep the previous phase". This preference should be remembered. This might be a checkbox within the "Modify | Electrical Circuits" status bar as shown in the attachment. It now can be done by disconnecting the circuit first, which introduces an extra step.

Hello, It would be good if there was an option in certain Revit families to prevent the geometry from being mirrored. E.g. a Mechanical FCU which only has left hand side option. Or a single socket outlet which has the switch on the left. Connected items may be an issue, however, ideally these items can be grouped and mirrored, when mirrored, the items still appear correct, e.g. switch on the left.   Alternatively, it would be nice to have a simple method of scheduling which families are mirrored.   Regards David Show More

Curtain wall grid lines are always invisible until you mouse over them.   In complicated curtain walls, it can be very difficult to get the right grid and to understand the grid layout - as you can't see it!   Make the grid a sub category in Visibility Graphics so the user can turn them on and set their colour.   This would aid creating a complicated curtain wall a lot.

I often have to change existing geometry in Revit by editing the width and height properties etc.. Adding 30cm to an existing value of 1.5m is tedious because you can't just add "+0.3" to the formula but also have to jump to the start of the formula to add an equals sign so revit actually calculates the formula.   My solution would be to get rid of said "=" and just integrate the equals sign in the input by default.

So many Model Elements are connected to each other but there is no way to see all these relationships and making informed decisions when editing them. It would be useful to have a "Relationships" parameter for each element that gives a dialog where you can see what relationships there are with which other elements. Here you could undo these relationships. In a way this is like the new Excavation on Toposolid dialog. You can see what elements are excavating the Toposolid and each element shows what Toposolid it's excavating. You could expand this to all Model Elements.   Relationships you could show and manage here:   Hosted Elements/Hosted to Cut by/Cutting Joined by/Joining Attached by/Attaching Excavated by/Excavating Part of Group/All elements in Group And so many more ... A Wall would show the Roof it's attached to, the Doors and Windows it's hosting, the Walls it's joined by, ... Show More

Groups can be a convenient and efficient way to set up a project, especially when dealing with dimensions and attached groups. However, a significant issue is the limited API access available for manipulating groups.   In my case, I wanted to rotate a group using Dynamo, but the operation caused the group to be recognized as having a different base height relative to the group origin. This occurs because the group origin cannot be rotated, leading Dynamo to treat the group as an individual element, which results in altered values.   Additionally, adding elements to existing groups is, as far as I know, not possible with the current API.   It would be highly beneficial to make groups more accessible for automation through Python, Dynamo, or other tools.   Show More

We have a keyboard shortcut for Section Box : BX. But it doesn't work for turning off the Section Box. It would be very useful to me to select an object, then Section Box it, edit the object, then turn off the Section box, select another object, Section Box it, and so on. Reusing the same view would save a lot of time. Show More

It is not currently possible to export and MAJ file from Revit with shared coordinates. I don't understand why this is not an option since I can do everything else with shared coordinates. For some projects it is necessary to export from Revit to CAD. Some disciplines like fire protection and civil rarely if ever use Revit. We have to waste time aligning our MAJ file to the shared coordinate grid lines if we need fabrication part data for the coordination effort. This is a huge waste of time which could be resolved if MAJ files could be exported with either shared or internal coordinates just like a DWG or Navis file. Show More
