Hello Revit Community, I would like to share a few ideas for improving the basic operating in Revit. I will present them in this and next posts. Typing distance while moving/copying   and holding Shift key not possible Holding Shift while moving or copying an object activates the ortho mode. Unfortunately the mode works only when the user specifies the distance freely with mouse – but doesn’t work when the user wants additionally type the distance on keyboard. So the user has to let go the shift key and position the moving/copying direction precisely with the cursor, what requires more carefulness and makes the work slower.   Show More

To narrow fields in View Range window: In a few projects I found an irritating problem that the fields in View Range window are to narrow and the user cannot read the whole name. Sadly there is also no possibility to widen this window. These fields should automatically adjust their length proportionally to the number of characters in them.   Show More

be able create multiple paths on a beam. right now seems like you can create only one path. Sure I could use the spline but that has it's own quirks to accomplish a simple bend at an end.    or just be able to join to beams   Show More

In a Tag Label, if "Show Border" is OFF, the "Leader/Border Offset" value is ignored for Leaders. Instead, the "Show Border" value should not affect the "Leader/Border Offset" so that Leaders are offset by that value. This is the way it works in Text with the same parameter names.   Show More

Hello there, a few months ago Diroots solved an issue that We have been requesting and are still wating from Autodesk. I wonder why Developers or Autodesk colaborators do not give us a response for this need?   We need to Bind images as ole in dwg file when exporting from Revit.   It is not a ideal way to deliver DWG files with a lot of refernced images. If the same image is placed in many sheets, it will appear many times in the dwg file folder.     Please take our idea and consider it! Show More

Currently, Revit requires users to manually select or create print sets to manage sheets with different orientations (landscape and portrait). When a project includes both orientations, batch printing becomes inefficient because users must either print each orientation separately or maintain multiple print sets. When doing these sheets must be printed in separate files, combining is not an option and inefficient. Proposed Improvement: Add the ability for each sheet view to store its print orientation (Landscape or Portrait) as part of its properties with print detection. This would allow Revit to automatically detect and apply the correct orientation when performing a batch print, combined multiple to a single file without the need for manual sorting or multiple print sets.

I will present them in this and next posts.   Too small „+” Characters to add another pipe / duct While drafting HVAC and Plumbling installations  the + or - Character that appears after selecting a fitting is too small, hence dificult to hit,  and in such a color that it is often barely visible when displayed above the pipe. It should be bigger to avoid missclicks that make the work slower (tested in v.2026). The color should be inverted to the object behind it or it should have some opaque background around it to make it easier visible Show More

Wrongly highlighted fields: The following fields I found wrongly highlighted -  1) after selecting a pipe the content of the field with the size of the pipe is highlighted. Normally in any other program it means that I can start typing to change it, but not in Revit. 2) When using Tab keyboard button in properties palette the content of the field to which the user goes with the Tab button is not highlighted, so it doesnt give a clear information that I can start typing.

I have a project that has multiple on a site and as such I need a title block per building. Sheet collections have been set up for each building.   I had to update the title blocks for the sets.  The architect set up the title block family to have the various and I had to go to each sheet to select the title blocks and the switch the title blocks to the correct family type per sheet collection.  To be clear I opened each sheet and then started selecting title blocks while holding control to get all title blocks in a sheet collection in one fell swoop, which is still tedious.   The feature request will speed this up.  When you select a family and right click, and go down to select all instances, under that flyout there are 3 options.  The 4th option needs to be, select all by sheet collections, so that families with sheet collections can be selected without having to open every sheet in the collection to select and change the title block family.   Show More

Drawing installations at 45° angle: I would be glad if Autodesk could imporve the process of drawing lines / pipes / ducts or some other linear objects at the angle of 45°.  When drawing fe. sewege installations this angle is often used. Below is the example how easy it is in Nova Program and how hard in Revit. The cursor has to be moved very slowly and precisely to pick this angle. Show More

Bug report: extending pipes with slope: When designing sewage systems I noticed a bug when extending one pipe with a slope to the second pipe with a slope. The pipe that is being extended is wrongly displayed - extended is the middle line but not the whole pipe. The walk around is to extend pipes with a slope always to the line and not to the second pipe.     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
