The from view limit is essential when using this "Framing Elevation Tool" is used to create framing elevation views . We in general do not just use it for framing.  The front limit would allow the section cut to show members coming into the cut such as beams intersecting the frame line from the view side and or angle bracing that's mirror imaged and it resides on the front side would not show in the cut frame.  This tool is used throughout the industry for cut A frame cut at every instead of calling out a section cut such as stating elevation at column line 1 instead of seeing section A. Emphasis here is the front limit is not intended to move the forced work plane from the center of the grid  but it is only a visual incorporation of whatever resides in that plane on both sides front and back of the grid line.   This is essential in our industry and right now it is missing. Please incorporate this ASAP.  Show More

I would like to see Revit display a small, persistent indicator showing the time since the user's last successful Synchronize with Central. During a typical workday, it is very easy to dismiss or ignore the Synchronize with Central reminder because you are in the middle of a task. Once you get focused on your work, it is surprisingly easy to lose track of when you last synchronized. For example, Revit could display something in the status bar or another non-intrusive location such as: Last Sync: 10:42 AM (1 hr 18 min ago) or simply: Sync with Central: 1 hr 18 min ago The timer would reset automatically after each successful Synchronize with Central. This would be different from the existing synchronization reminder because the goal is not to interrupt the user with another notification. It would simply provide constant visibility into the age of the user's local changes relative to Central. This would be especially useful on large, actively coordinated projects where multiple users may be working in the same model. It would also help prevent situations where a user spends several hours working without realizing they have not synchronized. Additional functionality could include: Display the exact time of the last successful sync. Display elapsed time since the last sync. Optionally change the indicator's appearance after a user-defined amount of time. Show “Never Synced” when a model has not yet been synchronized. This seems like a relatively small UI enhancement that could have a meaningful impact on Revit worksharing awareness without changing the existing synchronization workflow. Show More

It would be great to be able to set filters for rooms when exporting to IFC. At the moment, it is only possible to export either all rooms or none of them.       Show More

There is a problem with exporting stairs into IFC: the threads are always visible. In a concrete stair when the threads are turned on, the concrete part of the stair is lower by the amount of the thread height. If you need to export the IFC model of only the concrete elements the problem is that there is no way of turning off the threads.  The procedure is to turn off the visibility of the threads in the 3D view and in IFC setting make sure the export uses only the visible elements. The threads show in the IFC export model. If you turn off the threads (not in the view, but as the element of the stair) then the geometry of the stair is wrong because there is too much concrete in that model. Show More

In Revit 2027, the Options Bar was removed, which used to let MEP users quickly change pipe and duct sizes and elevations while modeling. Those controls are now moved into other menus or the Properties palette, which makes a very common workflow slower and less convenient. Could these controls be restored to the Options Bar, or added back in a similar quick-access location, so pipe and duct sizes and elevations can be changed easily while modeling? Show More

A tool similar to Guide Grid that allows you to use lines or modeled components within a drawing to align them on a page. I periodically dig around to see if this feature exists and each time only find the tutorials on aligning plans based on grid lines. Ex: Window / Opening Schedule with several elevations that start at different heights or Window / Opening Details where the head detail reads better aligned above the sill detail. I am currently using the method of zooming in as close as I can get to each drawing placed on a sheet and dragging them to the grid but the ability to use the align tool would save so much time and ensure the pages feel clean.  Show More

Is it possible to Sort Parameter Values manually when doing Numbering (element matching)? It is not clear what sorting criteria uses Revit automatically by default. For instance: what goes first Thickness or Length or Weight? Is it Ascending or Descending?).   Show More

Shared parameters and project parameters with the same key name in the project file will cause issues. Many BIM modelers often fail to follow the rules when creating model parameters. If an external project parameter uses the same key name as a shared parameter, numerous duplicate keys and values will exist within the project file. Should developers implement measures to forbid identical key names between shared parameters and project parameters? Your timely reply is highly appreciated. Show More

Redlines to Revit Allow Revit MCP to read redlined PDFs or Bluebeam markups and turn them into proposed Revit changes. A typical workflow could be: 1. Export a drawing set from Revit. 2. Mark it up in Bluebeam. 3. Give the marked-up PDF to the MCP. 4. Have it identify the affected sheets, views, and model elements. 5. Review a list of proposed changes. 6. Approve the changes individually or in batches. 7. Have the MCP make the revisions and provide a summary of what changed. This could handle common redlines such as: * Move a wall * Change a door size * Rename a room * Add or revise dimensions * Delete or revise notes * Update detail references * Add missing tags * Apply the same change to similar conditions The important part is that the MCP should distinguish between straightforward drafting changes and items that require architectural judgment. It would also be useful if each markup could be tracked as **Completed, Needs Clarification, or Not Implemented**, creating a direct round-trip workflow between Revit and Bluebeam. Ideally: **Revit → PDF markup → MCP review → approved revisions → Revit** Show More

Idea Allow an AI agent connected through Revit MCP to generate architectural test-fit floor-plan options within existing building geometry. The architect could identify an existing floor or tenant area and provide a program consisting of rooms, quantities, target areas, adjacency preferences and other design constraints. The MCP agent could then generate several preliminary test-fit options directly in Revit. Inputs might include: Existing Revit floor plan PDF or CAD background Required rooms and target areas Occupant count Adjacency requirements Public vs. private spaces Required furniture or equipment Existing columns and shafts Existing plumbing locations Required exits Accessibility constraints Exterior windows and daylight preferences Spaces or elements that cannot be moved The AI could produce multiple alternatives using Revit Design Options, for example: Option A — Maximum Efficiency Option B — Strongest Adjacencies Option C — Maximum Daylight / Perimeter Access Each option could include: Walls and doors Rooms Room names and numbers Preliminary furniture layouts Area calculations Circulation Basic accessibility clearances Proposed exit paths Room/area schedules The agent could then compare the options quantitatively: Net programmed area Gross area Circulation percentage Number of required rooms achieved Rooms below target area Adjacency requirements achieved Travel distances Exterior-window access Example prompt “Test-fit this 8,500 SF existing floor for a dermatology clinic using the attached program. Preserve the existing core, exterior walls, structural columns and plumbing risers. Generate three alternatives and summarize the tradeoffs between them. Do not overwrite the base model.” The intention would not be for AI to select the final design. It would rapidly produce viable starting points so the architect can compare alternatives, exercise professional judgment and develop the selected scheme. All generated options should remain clearly separated from the architect's approved model until explicitly accepted. Show More

Idea Allow an AI agent connected through Revit MCP to assist in creating an existing-conditions BIM model from photographs and other reference information. Architects frequently begin renovation projects with incomplete documentation. We may have photographs, scans of old drawings, site measurements, aerial images, PDFs, Matterport imagery, point clouds or a limited field survey. An AI agent should be able to analyze this reference material and construct a preliminary Revit existing-conditions model. For example, the user could provide: Exterior and interior photographs Existing floor-plan PDFs Historical drawings Known dimensions Ceiling heights Door/window measurements Site photographs Point-cloud or scan information where available The agent could then create: Levels Grids Exterior and interior walls Floors Roofs Ceilings Doors Windows Stairs Major casework or fixtures Rooms Basic materials Existing-condition elevations Handling uncertainty is critical The AI should never silently invent dimensions. Instead, reconstructed geometry should identify its basis and uncertainty. Elements could be categorized as: Verified by dimension Derived from drawing Estimated from imagery Assumed / requires field verification The agent could also generate an Existing Conditions Verification Report listing dimensions or conditions that should be confirmed during the next site visit. Example prompt “Using these 42 site photographs, the existing PDF plan and the dimensions I recorded in the field, create a preliminary existing-conditions model. Use verified dimensions wherever available. Where geometry cannot be determined reliably, make a reasonable provisional assumption and flag it for field verification.” This would be especially valuable for renovation, historic preservation, tenant improvement and due-diligence projects where architects currently spend substantial time manually rebuilding existing conditions before design can begin.

AI-Generated Cartoon Set / Project Setup Idea Allow the Revit MCP to create an initial architectural drawing set—or “cartoon set”—for a project based on an office template, project type, scope, and user instructions. A large amount of effort at the beginning of every Revit project is spent performing predictable setup work rather than design. An AI agent should be able to take an existing company Revit template and create the initial structure of the project. For example, the architect could provide: Project name, address, client and project number Project type and scope Existing vs. new construction Project phases Jurisdiction Anticipated drawing milestones Required disciplines Office naming and sheet-numbering conventions The MCP agent could then create and populate: Project Information parameters Sheet list and sheet numbers Title blocks Floor plans Reflected ceiling plans Enlarged plans Elevations Building sections Wall sections Finish plans Life-safety plans Code sheets Schedules Legends Cover sheet General notes sheets Placeholder detail sheets Appropriate view templates Browser organization Scope boxes and dependent views where appropriate The result would not need to contain finished drawings. The goal is to produce a well-organized cartoon set ready for the architect to begin working in. Example prompt: “Create a 50% CD cartoon set for a 3,000 SF medical tenant improvement using our office template. Populate the project information, create the anticipated sheet list and views, apply our standard view templates, create room and door schedules, and identify anything you need me to resolve.” Important workflow Before creating anything, the agent should present a proposed sheet/view structure for approval. After approval, Revit MCP could perform the batch creation through Trusted-Write and provide a summary of everything created or modified. This could eliminate hours of repetitive project setup while still keeping the architect completely in control of the resulting document set. Show More
