SubmitPrint overload with Boolean value to prevent raising of document printing events.   Currently two add-ins could clash during a batch printing operation when one is responding to a document printing event (which can cancel the print) and the other is batch printing.   I think the same goes for a lot of things that raise events containing PreDocEventArgs. To prevent them being cancelled by others during an ExternalCommandContext you need an option to not raise them.   I don't think there is a debate (in terms of API design philosophy) as to which external command should take priority during it's own context. I understand it isn't possible to 100% prevent interference.  Show More

I would like to see a switch that would lock 3D info in a model view for the purposes of creating & modifying 2D details/lines/text only. This would be simplify moving & editing 2D objects.   Show More

Here an idea: add the option to create automatic revision cloud for every new or modified elements. Show More

hi, working together in big projects in a company... by using central-files sometimes it is very hard to work together with the ONE table "sheet Isseus/Revisions"...   This table is usede for all sheet... I know, it depends on how/where revision-clouds are put... on any view or on a sheet...   We desidet - in order to have ONE easy workflow - to put revision-clouds only on sheets. That would bring up the possibility to have this issue-table for each sheet on its own... and would really help to work in sheets at the same time for more than only 1 person...   So we think, there should be an option in the project where to deside how to work with issues and clouds...overall or sheet based that would really save a lot of time because synchronizing on two sides needs really a lot of time in big projects, but more it would help to have cool colleagues who aren't stressed out by this "feature" as it runns right now.   THANKS for improving Revit 😄 Show More

Commit to new base point > we can move the base point but it's fake and doesn't reflect on various exports like fbx.   Could we have a way of moving the actual internal base point location and permanently accepting the change to become the new actual basepoint and grey out the "move to startup location" once done.    It can be very difficult to truly move an actual Revit model once many family types have been used.      Thanks, Show More

When creating a Color Scheme you have to give two names: one for the scheme and one for the Scheme Definition.   Since you can only have one definition per scheme, it seems a bit redundant (and confusing) to have the possibility to give two names. I suggest removing the "Title:" parameter and just keeping the scheme name for naming purposes.   Show More

I work for a MEP subcontractor and receive Revit models from a general contractor.   A question that has always bugged me.   Why doesn't Revit have the ability to allow me as a subcontractor to use the general contractor's sheets that are already set up with the view ranges and views that I need??????   I have to have the same views on my sheets as the general contractor because our sets have to be consistent with each other.   As far as view ranges.......I would like the ability to have their same view ranges to start.....but be able to adjust mine to compensate for piping and duct heights and depths.   Yet through all these years Revit cannot do this???     And still cannot????   This is a very cumbersome thing to have to do over and over and over because it takes too much time when I could be already setting up duct systems and piping systems.   Why can't Revit do this???     Thank you for your time.   Show More

i would be nice to have control over different types of annotations and symbols with the level of detail option.   example: in conception, we have different way to show our section views and grids buble than construction document.     Show More

Please add a different way of numbering electrical circuits: in Europe, it is not rare to number the phases as 1, 2 , 3A, 3B, 3C, 4, 5, 6, 7A, 7B, 7C... Thus the function gets a number (or the securing device, if you like) and the phases get a letter. It is essential we can change this, because sometimes a project start with identifying the existing situation. Also for this, it would be nice if we could assign a chosen free number to a new created circuit, since in an as built situation, it is very difficult to get everything right now... Show More

For some elements, several disciplines are applicable. To make sure the person responsible for the discipline is the one being able to manage those parameters of that element, you should be able to release those parameters to a user that links your model.   Let me give you a few examples:   1: Appearance assets The structural engineer is (obviously) responsible for the structural columns, framing, etc. so he includes those elements in his model. As an architect, I link his model in mine where I add the architectural elements. Now I need to make some visualizations with several color options. One includes the structural elements to be white, another needs them to be black. But the structural engineer has a fantastically beautiful standard color in his template: rusty red... The structural engineer loves beautiful buildings, but he doesn't give a s**t about the color in his model. Plus, he has no time (budget) to change colors every time I want to. Because, you know, I like to change my mind a lot. I would like to be able to changes the appearance asset in his materials and even swap this asset for one instance of a structural element. And I don't want to do it again every time I receive an updated model from the structural engineer, so all my changes need to be included in his central model.   2: Profile/size and physical assets In my design we need some supporting structures around a window opening. Without them, the building wouldn't collapse, so it's not part of the main structure and therefore not included in the structural engineers model. However, I'm an architect, so I have a feeling about the size of the structural framing, but I'm not especially good at calculating the exact profile needed. That's where the structural engineers comes in. Like before, I like to change my mind a lot, so I'm moving the window back and forth and the structural framing moves along with it. Since I changed the window size, the load on the structural framing might have changed. I would like that the structural engineer receives a warning about my changes on the structural framing when he reloads my model. He could check the profile and the physical material assets and change them if needed.   Suggested solution: Somehow, if you link a model that has so called 'released parameters', you should be able to copy/monitor only those released parameters, so you don't get double elements. Any changes to them would be saved in the host model. From that moment on, the changed values will override the values present in the link. Now, when you send this host model (with override values) back to the owner of the linked model, he could reload your model as a link. Revit will recognize the overridden values and their elements ID's, and presents them in a 'coordination review' overview. On acceptance, the values are transferred to the original model and everyone is happy 🙂   Show More

Hi everyone,   I was thinking (and needing) if a user can define the section representation of an element (beams, trusses, etc.) when they're not parallel to the view.   So far we can define the symbolic representation but only in parallel views but, when the member is sloped we can only see the real model representation which sees like this. (Left with small Far Clip Offset, Right with big Far Clip Offset).     We make use of this real view in most cases but several drawings require a simplification or otherwise, they're not clear and undestandable. So I'll would love to have the same ability as for the parallel views and have something like this.   For sloped members   Thank you all.     Show More

It would be good to be able to restrain the Rebar Cover values a RC Concrete Family Type can assume. This is motivated because in Brazil the rebar cover is dependent on the element nature (Beam, Column, Slab), so it would be nice to have some restraint option. This might not be the case for other countries but it could still be useful in some particular occasions, as it provides more control over objects parametrization. Show More

hi,   We have this issue in some projects :  there is some penthouse in our project on 2 different levels, and we use area plan because we need the rentable area. there is actually no way to combine both area in one. i founded a trick with schedule manipulation, but is prone to warnings.   I understand that area plan are used mainly for BOMA concern, but that could be extended for rentable multilevel units.     Yien Show More
