The idea is easy to implement. QR codes are overtaking the world! Instead of old boring text tags, we should have the ability to create modular, scalable, and dynamic QR tags inside Revit. QR codes should be  This would be beneficial for many people, as you can track, install, order, go to a website, and many many many many other things.   Attached is an example for editing the "QR Label" and adding parameters:   Show More

In a text box, when selecting a block of text to replace, typing new text does not replace the selected block of text; in fact, it does nothing at all. In order to replace the selected text, you must first delete or backspace to clear the selected block of text, then start typing. This is different behavior than every other text editor in every other application and is so very counter-intuitive. Please, update the text box so that selected text will be replaced by typed text like every other text editor in every other application on planet earth for consistency and sanity, please, and thank you.

Current situation: Use first the command move and activate disjoin. Afterwards you can click on copy and then disjoin is active. Wish for future: Select the button disjoin at both commands (move / copy). It should be active only during that procedure - afterwards it should be deactivated again (because disjoin is "dangerous" in general).     Show More

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.

We need better overall control of the visibility of revision clouds and their respective revision tags. Whether it is being able to control the visibility of each revision sequence or having the ability to half-tone all the revision clouds and tags for a particular sequence once the issued box is checked.   We typically keep all the revision clouds and tags on the plan. Any old revision cloud and tags would be half-toned, and any new revision would remain black. It is a very painful process to find all the revision clouds and tags to override.   Show More

It would be helpful if the Revit family editor could highlight all instances of a selected parameter name inside formulas, similar to how modern code editors work. Right now I have to manually scan each formula to find where a specific parameter is used. It's easy to miss something or make a mistake when renaming or editing formulas. This would make working with complex families a lot faster and easier. Here is a snip I marked up showing what it could look like.   Show More

I want to be able to nest a generic annotation into a detail component, and then I want to be able to align and lock elements (e.g. masking region lines) to that generic annotation.  I can do it in the family, but once that family gets to the project environment it breaks.     Been through everything with tech support and they say it just can't be done with Revit right now, so I guess this becomes a wish list item.     Biggest reason I'd like this to be able to have a break line where I could keep the zigzag the same size on the sheet regardless of scale, but be able to stretch and pull the break line how I want it.     Anyway, I hope others can see what I mean and we can get this capability underway.  Thanks!!!   Show More

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

It has becoming more and more common for clients to request the issuance of all drawings as part of a set regardless of changes on the drawing. Currently, when a revision is selected to be shown on the revision schedule, it gives it the next revision number regardless of if there are any clouds in any of the views. To get around this, we have to create 2 revisions, one with a number sequence and one without and apply the second revision without numbering on sheets to get it to show on the schedule without screwing up the numbers.     Having the number on the revision schedule without there actually being clouds on plan is an issue because the contractor will be looking for a change that is non-existent.    How the revisions and revision schedule should work is: when there is a revision on the sheet, the revision number and respective date and description show up automatically when the revision is selected to be included in the revision schedule on a sheet without change, the date and description should be shown without a revision number Show More
