When uploading parameters to the Autodesk Cloud Parameter Service today, users have no way to choose which parameters to transfer when selecting 'active model'. Instead, they must resort to work-arounds: Clean the model. Strip out every unwanted parameter so that only the ones you want remain, then upload. Use a Shared Parameter file. But this sacrifices the convenience of the “Active Model” option (see red rectangle in screenshot). Proposed Workflow Upload to Cloud Parameter Service User selects Active Model (or Shared Parameter File / Text-File Import). Ask user for confirmation to get all parameters from the model Display a multi-select list of all shared parameters in the model. Adjust Categories Give the user the option to change the applied categories for each shared parameter (for example to add revit categories which become available in new revit versions. Give the user the option to change standard categories in the properties menu, like Identity Data, Underlay, Graphics, etc. Final Confirmation from the user to transfer the shared parameters to the Cloud Parameter Service   Steps 4–6 would also be useful when importing from a Shared Parameter file, as this format has no category-and-property metadata. (Or add an extra option to the import method where the user can select a textfile with the extra data (like category-and-property metadata) Show More

One of the biggest sources of error in BIM is manual type naming. A simple yet powerful improvement would be a native Revit feature that allows users to auto-generate Type Names by concatenating selected parameters.   For example, a window type name could be built from: [Width] - [Height] - [Frame Material] → 1200 - 1500 - Alum   This would: Reduce manual errors Enforce consistent naming Make schedules and tags more reliable   Ideally, the Revit template could select 2–3 parameters in the Family Editor or Type Properties dialog, choose a separator, and have Revit build the name automatically.    BIM is only as good as the data we put in — and naming mistakes shouldn't compromise that.   Would love to hear if others see value in this or have workarounds without dynamo work arounds.  Show More

In many real-world refurbishment projects, when a door is removed from an existing wall, the resulting opening is often retained—or filled in a way that differs from the original wall construction. In Revit, however, demolishing an existing door automatically triggers an “infill” behavior that closes up the opening with the original wall type. This is both unrealistic and irreversible, forcing users to accept an unwanted wall patch. In actual practice, once a door is removed, the opening may remain as-is, be filled with a different wall type, or be repurposed in other ways. Having Revit automatically restore the original wall type is counterproductive and does not reflect typical site operations. It also removes the ability to keep a true opening without cumbersome workarounds. Proposed Solution User-Controlled Infill Settings Provide a setting (at either the project or element level) that allows users to choose whether an opening should remain or be automatically infilled when an existing door is demolished. Let users specify which wall type (if any) is used to fill the opening. Flexible Phase Behavior When a door is demolished in the Existing phase, give the user the option to leave the opening intact or fill it with a new wall. If the user wants to keep the opening or place a different wall, Revit should not force the infill to match the original wall type. Better Alignment with Real-World Workflows This change would more closely mirror actual construction processes, saving time and effort in creating workarounds or re-modeling openings. It would also provide clearer phasing documentation and more accurate takeoffs for demolition and new work. By introducing a user-defined or project-wide “Preserve Opening” setting, Revit’s demolition workflow would become more flexible and realistic, significantly improving modeling efficiency for renovation and refurbishment projects.

Hi Autodesk, I’m sending this message in the hope that it reaches you. Based on my experience, a major improvement for view layout on sheets would be having a parametric and snappable Scope Box in the views. This would provide much better control over the crop region, greatly improving the efficiency and precision of view placement on sheets. FY Show More

This image says it all. Right now, only the "Free End" option for leaders allows snapping to the endpoints of the leaders. This should also be a default for "Attached End".    Show More

While you can copy almost everything and move the copy nowhere but keep it in place, doing so is tedious. You can never be sure that there is not a little fraction of a unit showing up when eventually clicking. The idea is to provide the context menu with a duplicate entry. The duplicate would then end up being the active object, that is the one with the new Revit-Id. Ready to be altered concerning its sketch, type or anything really. Please do not bother about a warning showing up that two identical pieces are in one place, because that is the desired outcome. I will now finish off the other half of the ceiling I was just editing. Show More

The title says it all, i often use filled regions to calculate areas. Please show the combined area of all selected filled regions in the properties window. Show More

We need a Rebar Set Count parameter for Rebar Tags. When you have two identical sets on the same span, the multi-rebar tag tool will only show one tag, even though both sets were selected as hosts for the multi-rebar tag. That could lead to quantity errors, as we have twice the quantity of rebar set bars. Above is how it is now:     To work around this behavior, we add some text from the "Comments" parameter to force the multi-rebar tag to separate sets with one tag for each of them:     But the tool should be able to do this: where "2" is the requested "Rebar Set Count" parameter and "x" is a suffix.   This request also appears on the Revit forum:  https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-structure-forum/multi-rebar-tag-combine-similar-rebar-sets-in-one-tag/m-p/13122303#M1758   Show More

It would be nice to be able to hide rows in Key schedules. We use Key schedules to represent 'tabular' data like a Table in AutoCAD, but when you delete a row, it's nightmarish to re-create. The ability to hide rows without deleting would be handy. Show More

how come is it possible that user cannot control the visibility of the Tags from attached model (in grey color) in the meaning : "what is below and what is on top" ?  (even i have attached model as an "underlay") design for sheets in final state looks very messy though    please call for action to do with this silly issue something Show More

Never in my 10 year experience working with Revit have I gotten the message can't keep elements joined when trimming lines and thought: "man, I really wish those lines were still joined"...   So I suggest we don't need this pop-up anymore, unless of course many other people do see the use in this.

Revit is currently available in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR). However, there is no version available in European Portuguese (pt-PT). Many professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction across Portugal,  and other European and African Portuguese-speaking regions/countries use Revit daily. The availability of the software in European Portuguese would greatly enhance usability, reduce the learning curve, and improve productivity, especially in training and educational contexts. This request is not about replacing Brazilian Portuguese but adding support for the European variant, which has distinct terminology, spelling, and expressions more suitable for the Portuguese and African markets. Please consider localizing Revit into Portuguese (Portugal) to better serve the growing user base in this region. Thank you! Show More

It would be interesting to have the possibility of joining the walls to make a 45 degree chamfer in plan. In engineering, there are many cases of tanks concrete where it is necessary to have a chamfer at the junction between the wall in plan. Show More

It will be really helpful to change the View Range and preview the changes in real-time. I always have trouble displaying Parapets or windows at street level. Creating plan regions for each such window is counterproductive. Guessing and trying multiple view ranges is also counterintuitive. Incrementing the View Range in real-time would be a real time saver.  Show More

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.

Allow spot elevation annotations to display elevation values in section views, as they are currently limited to plan views only. Show More

Instead of constantly editing the view template or visibility overrides, it would be easier if the sheet view would function as a print preview. Reference planes would still show up when opening a view, but the sheet view would be as clean as it would be when it is printed.  Show More

(In German, automatically translated) In AutoCAD, there are functions for multiline text such as "Text Frame" and "Text Background". The "Text Background" function makes everything within the frame opaque (see Attachment 1). This is great for text annotations, as it gives a very professional appearance. Revit also has the "Show Border" function, but in this case, only the text itself becomes opaque—not the frame (see Attachment 2). This looks rather unintentional, which is why I always take the extra step to place a masking region behind all text (see Attachments 3). I have already brought this to the attention of support. Unfortunately, there is currently no alternative way to achieve this. I kindly request that Revit implements the same functionality as AutoCAD.   Thank you in advance!   with kind regards Timo Winkler Show More
