There should be a command that allows the user to make previously split Structural Steel Beams back into 1 singular beam. Lets say I split a W12x26 ten times and continue working on a different part of the project. Now I get redlines from the Engineer that says I only needed to split the beam nine times. Well by this time I've done a bunch of other work and its probably days or weeks later so I can't undo the split. There should be a "Mend" command that rejoins the picked segments into 1 segment. This "Mend" command could also be used on detail lines, line based detail components, columns, and walls. Probably not on Toposolids though.  Please comment if there's already a way to do this.    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

Many times, when modifying graphics in a view, I find myself with the following process: I want to modify graphic of a family (whose category I may or may not know). You have to select it, read its category in it's propieties, then enter VG, search for the category line (if the discipline filter is active), and sometimes search in subcategories (as in the case of room separators inside lines category). I think the workflow would be much better if, when selecting any element and accessing VG, its category was already highlighted.   The process would be: Select the element with the mouse. Hit VG. The VG window opens with the category line of the selected element already highlighted. If you have nothing selected, VG would open as always did It's a very simple idea that I think could save a lot of time and improve workflow in the long run. Show More

The Problem In our structural department, we frequently link Civil DWGs from both internal and external consultants. Each time we link a DWG, we must manually adjust the view templates by turning specific layers on or off to achieve the desired display. At the moment, we work around this by using a dummy DWG link to store our preferred layer settings within the view template. This process feels inefficient, and the way DWG layer states are handled could be significantly improved. Possible Solution When linking Revit models, we can control visibility in view templates using the linked model’s worksets. Similarly, AutoCAD files use saved layer states to manage visibility. It would be highly beneficial if Revit could recognize and allow us to apply these saved layer states from CAD links directly within view templates—just as we do with worksets. Show More

I just found that there is no short cut or context menu entry to make a selected level the current work plane in Revit 2024.3. The idea would be to change that. Show More

Please implement the filtering method used in view filters for schedule filters. I've seen so many similar ideas: Like "OR" filters, ability to create more filters than the defined in the schedule, and others. If it were implemented like the view filters, it would solve all those issues, and many more. I mean, so many schedules are used for data control and project model healthy, and what better way to achieve this than to being able to use the same filters in both views and schedules. Show More

  💡 Idea Description: Creating filters in Revit is something every modeler does constantly — especially when working with phases, view templates, or graphic overrides. However, one major inefficiency is the lack of a “Select All Model Categories” button in the Filters dialog. Right now, if you hit “Check All,” Revit selects everything — including Detail Items, Analytical categories, and other non-model categories. The result? You need to manually uncheck all the unwanted categories just to unlock the parameters you actually want to filter by. This not only wastes time, it introduces frustration into a task we repeat dozens of times across projects.   🎯 My Suggestion: Add a dedicated checkbox to quickly select only Model Categories (Walls, Floors, Doors, Windows, Roofs, etc.) — just like how the “Hide Unchecked Categories” checkbox helps with visibility.       ✅ This would especially help in workflows like: Setting up demolition filters that override colors for all model elements in a phase. Creating custom visual filters for design options or phased views. Any situation where you need to apply a consistent rule across the model, without wasting time manually selecting dozens of checkboxes. Until now, I’ve had to start with a handful (Walls, Floors, Roofs...) and build up from there , by wich i mean manually check categories when needed, which slows down an otherwise fast workflow.   Let’s reduce unnecessary clicks and make filters smarter. ⚡ Show More

I just found that filled regions could not be worked on using the LW command which would be handy to alter the sketch lines' line types. Tested in Revit 2026.1 Show More

Hello,   The implementation of phasing within View Filters is great, but it would be very useful in some scenarios to be able to make these relative. Right now, you have to select a specific phase for your Filter Rules. This can be handy, but having some relative options would also be very useful.   If we would like to implement some standards around visibility of things based on phasing, we would want to set this up within our template. We don't know what a project's phases will look like down the road, but we might know that this filter should override ANYTHING that is considered "previous" to any given view. If we could select an option for "Phase Created: is less than: Current Phase of View" this would solve having to create duplicate filters for the same thing OR ensuring that a user is adjusting the filter to the latest phase each time, etc.    Most things about phasing and phase filters on views is relative to that view, it only makes sense to make the View Filters have the same options.

Most improvements in new Revit versions, while beneficial, often consist of minor adjustments that could easily be included in an upgrade or service pack. Adopting this approach would allow more time and focus for deeper, more meaningful enhancements. It would also help standardise the software version used across different projects. Currently, the constant release of new versions leads to several issues: Projects often rely on different Revit versions, creating inconsistencies; Multiple installations take up significant disk space; Upgrading families and project files becomes more complex; Opening older projects can be confusing or problematic. Additionally, a typical construction project — from early design stages to completion — usually spans around four years. This means users often end up having at least four different Revit versions installed simultaneously, just to keep up.   One ideia could be to release a new version every two years for example.

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

Being confronted with this warning, Line in Sketch is slightly off axis and may cause inaccuracies, would be so much more helpful if it contained a Revit ID of the line in sketch for me to copy. Better even, if that number were directly copied to my clipboard. Show More

Our current PCs are powerhouse machines capable of incredible calculations, yet Revit lags unbearably. No optimization is done, and no performance improvement is possible in the current state of things. The software wallows in its own mediocrity, and Autodesk does nothing to change that.   I always hear the same advice: reduce file sizes, split buildings to use less memory, etc... But actually, no. It’s completely illogical.   Would you tell a video editor to reduce the resolution of their video files so the software can handle them? Would you ask a graphic designer to use fewer colors because Photoshop is lagging? Would anyone ask you not to exceed 60 km/h with your new car because it would start stuttering?   A professional software like Revit, which has a monopoly and is so expensive, should work properly. Users shouldn’t have to adapt. A 1 GB file is nothing exceptional today; we are asked for more and more data, so it’s normal for file sizes to increase. Here, every day, Revit crashes because it can't convert a slightly too large IFC file, for example. If I read correctly, the software still runs on a single core while our CPUs have at least 8. The capabilities of graphics cards are completely unused (as proof, it’s often recommended to disable hardware acceleration, which is absurd...). It's still run on DX11.   Should we just keep quiet and accept it?   Maybe a lot more clients should complain to Autodesk because the situation is clearly abnormal—and it has been for decades. We are tired. We should coordinate, maybe for a week, so that everyone calls the hotline, just to overwhelm their useless customer service and express our dissatisfaction—maybe then they’d finally do something instead of resting on their laurels and cashing in checks. (A competitor is really needed to shake things up.)   Show More

Enable different revision sequences to be identified using different colours. Useful for identifying when each change was made. Show More

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

Can we allocate some dev resources to fixing the numerous things that have been left dysfunctional in this software for years? I'm not going to list them here. There has been MANY identified by users over the years. Just browse through the Ideas forum or any of the help forums and you'll see what I mean.   I find it incredibly frustrating to encounter a problem in the software and then google it, only to find that someone else made a post about it many years ago (often with replies from Autodesk) yet it's still an issue today. Sure, there may be some workaround that someone figured out but it feels like nearly everything requires some sort of workaround at this point. I'm sick of using workarounds. I want things to work properly and intuitively.   It just feels like nothing is being fixed and all resources are being allocated to incredibly situational new features. I can honestly say that nothing on the roadmap excites me. And I don't see any mention of anything being fixed, just new features that I'll likely never use. I'm suggesting we hit pause on these unnecessary features and spend some time on the list of issues that I'm certain Autodesk already has yet seems to just ignore year after year.         Show More

...until you add features people ARE asking for.   Autodesk seems to be quite focused on design automation. Is anyone asking for design automation? I see people asking for some modeling and documentation automation. But not design automation.    Personally, I'm skeptical of design automation; I don't trust Autodesk to get it right. I fear Autodesk may actually make it harder to model and document the way that I want. Just look at electrical wire sizing as an example.   But, even so, new features like design automation are not what is important right now. In all the top Ideas, we are asking for features and improvements which make modeling and documentation more efficient.   How many of the top 100 Ideas could be implemented if you redirected resources currently being used to develop design automation features?   Please listen to your users.
