A common complaint among clients working on Revit Projects in Forma is that when opening up a Cloud or Workshared Cloud Model in Revit from the Docs dialog, the highest level of all folders that users have access to are displayed at the same level, regardless of the nested folder structure. This can be a little confusing, and I think the better solution is to provide the same visibility within Revit and the Desktop Connector that is available in the Web Viewer. Currently, the only solution is to provide View Only permissions at the Project Files level to show the folder structure, which is not ideal.   Folders would be greyed out similarly to the web viewer with the ability to expand if you have access to a subfolder.   This is the setting within Forma Data Management:   Show folder path (web only) On   Enable project members to see the full folder path for folders on web even if they don't have view permission, as long as they have permissions for at least one subfolder.   Show More

Our workflow requires the up-to-date use of the "Model Coordination" module. "Model Coordination" only regenerates when a Revit model is published. Our designers have to remember to publish their model every night or the "Model Coordination" view doesn't update.     In "Design Collaboration" there is a way to schedule publishing the model but only on a weekly basis.  There should be a DAILY option that takes the requirement out of the designers hands.   Show More

It would be nice when reloading linked files to get the option - just like in AutoCAD - to automatically apply the same path to the remaining missing linked files - instead of manually having to reload each file. Show More

Linking IFC files is a fundamental workflow when working with external models in Autodesk Revit. When an IFC file is linked from a local drive, Revit automatically generates an IFC.RVT file. This file is maintained by Revit and gets updated whenever the IFC link is refreshed. However, the workflow behaves differently in cloud projects hosted on Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). When an IFC is linked in a cloud project, Revit also generates an IFC.RVT, but this file becomes a regular Revit file instead of a cloud model. Because of this, the model is not included when using publishing settings for ACC in the Revit Central File. As a Sample, a Electrical Central File is published in ACC and we don't see the Architect in ACC Viewer. As a result: The linked IFC is not visible in the ACC viewer. The only workaround is to manually download the generated IFC.RVT from the IFC, upload it again as a Cloud Model, and then link it again in the cloud project. This creates unnecessary manual steps and breaks the expected workflow. Suggested Improvement When an IFC is linked in a Revit Cloud Project, the automatically generated IFC.RVT should: be created directly as a Cloud Model in Autodesk Construction Cloud be automatically updated when the IFC link is refreshed This would allow teams and stakeholders without Revit to correctly view the complete model, including IFC references, directly in ACC. Such a workflow would significantly improve collaboration and support the full use. Show More

With the RAM shortage, every bit faster Revit can be is savings for the users.  Fixing the memory leak in Revit's Family Material database will speed up models and reduce the need to split models, since they will not grow in size as quickly.  This is documented in an Autodesk Knowledge Network article here:   https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Unable-to-purge-data-from-family-in-Revit.html   Show More

Hi when carrying out an action in revit 2024, an error report is generated, and it can be long and extremely tedious to go through. Please improve exporting options, such as an excel file where you can sort by sheet, view, error type, element type, category, etc, and most importantly, whether model or annotation element, so one can much more quickly decide whether to carry out the action or not. Thanks! Show More

every once in a while we need to work with step files in revit. you can even link to them (r2025). sadly the link mechanism does not embrace a cloud work shared environment and just reverts to the last user's local location. everyone else will be greeted by an error message that really need not be one. please fix this asap. found this in r2025.4.

On behalf of a Autodesk For Government & Revit customer: Allow Publish settings to be saved when no default printer is enabled. The idea would allow Publish settings to be modified and saved in environments where no default printer is enabled in Windows or a printer cannot be installed. Currently the Publish settings cannot be saved if there is no default printer installed or enabled on the system.  Show More

Cuando se abre un modelo, especialmente cuando es pesado, no se tiene la certeza de cuánto tiempo puede tardar en abrir. Estaría bien establecer un porcentaje o un tiempo de espera realista de cómo procede la apertura. Ahora, por ejemplo, la línea de carga está todo el rato en el mismo punto y el porcentaje que parece en la parte inferior izquierda se muestra todo el rato en el 100% congelada, cuando la realidad es que el modelo tarda 20 minutos en abrir, en mi caso actual. Es un modelo colaborativo en la nube del ACC. Show More

Please let Revit remember the last saved location when using "Save as Cloud Model" - or have a list of the last saved location, Favorite locations, etc. Something 🙂 When you literally have close to 100 models to save in the cloud - and you have to hunt down the same location again, and again, it gets old. Thanks! Show More

On behalf of a customer from Germany let me post the following wish: Currently IFC files, stored in the cloud,  won't appear through nested links in a cloud worksharing model. Request is allow the support of IFC through nested links in cloud worksharing. This issue impact not only ifc, but non-workshared nested links as well. See this article.   Show More

The BIM Models are the single source of Truth – Is it Protected? Revit is one of the widely used BIM Authoring tool in AEC Industry. With the implementation of Cloud Worksharing it should be more advanced in controlling the Revit Models. Here are few examples of what can be controlled.  Who can create / delete a Project? Who can Add Links? Who can create / delete Levels? Who can load families to the Project? Who can rename the families? Who can lock elements / who can delete elements? on and on.  I was an ArchiCAD user and i used all these functionalities with BIM Cloud in 2014. We are in 2024(10 years later) and we don’t have any kind of such Permissions inside the Revit Model for the Cloud Workshared model in ACC.   We have around 100Users working on the Cloud Workshared Model and we don't have control on who can do what. Anyone can do anything. This is a very big risk. We had instances where a user deleted 2 levels and it deleted all the associated elements & views and it was identified on the day of submission.   We are working on Complex Giga Projects with intense pressure and tight deadlines pushing ourselves to meet the submission milestone and the authoring software we are using has no control on the Model.   For those of you who don’t know ArchiCAD & BIM Cloud, below is a link to know the permissions which enable an ARCHICAD user to create, delete/modify, and/or manage particular data types in Teamwork projects using ARCHICAD. ARCHICAD Related Permissions | User Guide Page | Graphisoft Help Center   Those who are facing the same pain as this everyday can vote this idea and let's see if Autodesk is going to take this Idea and implement It or Not.

Allow pinned ACC projects on Revit Home Screen on the left side panel under Autodesk Projects or BIM 360 or anything else the call it depending on the Revit version.   Recent files on the home page are good but users also must browse to the file location to execute publishes and stuff.  Would be super helpful.

Hello,   I think it would be helpful to have the possibility to also see the Description (from BIM360 or ACC) of a Revit link in Revit itself in Manage Links window and when adding a link.   Now most of the time the "names" don't say much about the content because they are usually named using a certain codification. Especially in a big project with alot of companies involved it's difficult to immediately see what the links contain.   Thanks and kind regards,   Bart Show More

Description: This could be considered a feature for both Revit and ACC/BIM 360 so I decided to post in both forums. Since ACC/BIM 360 currently does not have an automatic audit function, we would like the ability to automatically run audits by setting a day of the week and time—similar to a publish schedule—for models that are collaborated in ACC/BIM 360. Current Situation: Because audits can only be run when opening a project file, modelers experience waiting time when they start work in the morning. In projects where multiple people are working simultaneously, one person must complete the audit and synchronize the model before others are able to open the file. Request: We would like audits to run automatically by setting a day of the week and time, similar to the publish schedule feature in ACC/BIM 360. Optional: Also, although this feature does not currently exist in Revit, it would be preferable for audits to generate warnings and reports when errors are detected during the audit process. Proposed Implementation: Allow audit schedules to be set for files within the Team folder, in the same way that publish schedules are configured in BIM 360. Reference: This was originally posted to Revit Ideas (Japanese). As this is an important request from Japanese Revit users and was evaluated by the Revit User Group in 2025, it is being reposted here. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-aidia-ri-ben-yuforamu/jian-zhano-zi-dong-hua/idi-p/11886812 Show More

In software development circles the concept of source control is crucial to the development of any application, but even more so far large extensive applications that could have hundreds or even thousands of developers interact with the source code over many years.   It is well established that a number of owner operators of buildings have elected to maintain "up-to-date" Revit models (or their long term design partners choose to) in order to facilitate constant changes, upgrades and renovations to their properties. A variety of creative solutions have and continue to be employed to allow the "owners" of these "source" models to keep these models up-to-date. Sometimes it is a selective copy/paste (or the equivalent using an API based tool) other times it may be a common model that "everyone" works in while making use of the Phasing features in Revit, there are likely other approaches or variations to these common themes.   With the advent of Revit Cloud Worksharing it became easier to share access to these "common" models, however for a variety of reasons, common access to a single model is problematic particularly when there are multiple active projects with different timelines and multiple design and construction partners all accessing the data.   Arguably, in these cases Revit and RCW would benefit from a source control methodology more akin to what is used in software development. Where a "building" can be downloaded and branched according to the needs of each design (development team). Each team can then execute their changes following the normal course of events used today. Eventually that particular Team would need to submit a "Pull" request to merge their design into the master source. Just like software development depending on the configuration of the environment such a pull request might automatically trigger reviews prior to being accepted, or it could go through as what amounts to a "master Sync With Central". BIM 360 today by in large has the tools available that such a workflow could be imagined to be feasible, the biggest issue to overcome would be the automated "Master Sync With Central" and the user interface and experience for review and merging the changes.

If you save an updated cloud model, this is initially only saved in the local cache, if the model needs to be published to the ACC, this must be triggered manually as shown below. It would be nice to have a save button that updates and saves the model directly in the acc Show More

If other Revit Cloud files are to be loaded as groups in a Revit-Cloud-Worksharing project, this is only possible by previously publishing on Docs and then loading the Revit file using the Desktop Connector. It would be much easier, faster and safer (with links from other models a .zip can quickly hide behind the .rvt in Docs - then loading as a group is not possible) to have direct access to the Cloud-Worksharing-Models (External Resources) via the "load as Group" command. Including the update commands for groups as well. Show More

Please make it possible to have Workshared Models saved on ACC template files remain workshared when a new project is created using the template. The way ACC templates works currently is that it will just make a NON-workshared copy of the workshared files saved to the ACC template. This is completely pointless since the non-workshared copy can not even be opened in Revit. I would LOVE to use a feature like this to use on ACC projects for training that I often need to recreate for each training session. The option to quickly make a copied file workshared would also be a nice alterative. (eg a button on the ACC web interface for "initiate worksharing") At the moment the only way to make an ACC copied model workedshared is to download a copy from ACC, open it in Revit, and initiate cloud worksharing.
