Hello, If I want to open a file just to read, it is not possible. I actually only need to look at the project, make a few cuts here and there, and check the drawing, but I do not intend to change anything. Our draftsman updates the plans. In Autodesk AutoCAD you can open this as 'read-only'. Can you arrange this here as well?   显示更多

Let me register the following request based on a customer feedback from DACH. Currently the VG dialog/ Imported Categories may point so such dwg data that are embedded in specific Families. The idea would be to give better indication here about the host/ root element of the actual data (in this case family) to be able to find the refrences easier. So if a dwg layer is placed within a family, than list the imported category under the specific family within the VG/ Imported Categories, 显示更多

I like to share imported IFC files directly in Shared Views.  显示更多

Deutsch In Revit 2026 haben wir folgendes Problem: Wenn eine Rohrstrecke einschließlich der zugehörigen Formteile ausgewählt wird und diese Formteile in ihren Familien über Verbinder verfügen, die als „Gemeinsam genutzt“ eingestellt sind, verschwinden die standardmäßigen Bearbeitungsbefehle für die ausgewählte Rohrstrecke. Die Einstellung „Gemeinsam genutzt“ ist für uns erforderlich, damit die entsprechenden Bauteile im Projekt separat ausgewertet und in Mengen erfasst werden können. Nach der Auswahl der Rohrstrecke stehen dadurch unter anderem die Befehle „Ausrichten“, „Typ ändern“ und „Neigung anpassen“ nicht mehr zur Verfügung. In Revit 2024 und Revit 2025 funktioniert dies mit denselben Familien einwandfrei. Die Rohrstrecke kann ausgewählt und mit den genannten Standardbefehlen bearbeitet werden. Bitte stellen Sie diese Funktionalität auch in Revit 2026 wieder zur Verfügung. Andernfalls können diese grundlegenden Standardbefehle bei solchen Rohrsystemen nicht mehr wie bisher im Modell verwendet werden. English In Revit 2026, we are experiencing the following issue: When selecting a pipe run including its fittings, and these fittings contain connectors in their families that are set to “Shared”, the standard editing commands for the selected pipe run disappear. The “Shared” setting is required in our workflow so that the corresponding components can be evaluated and quantified separately in the project. After selecting the pipe run, commands such as Align, Change Type, and Adjust Slope are no longer available. In Revit 2024 and Revit 2025, this works correctly with the same families. The pipe run can be selected and edited using these standard commands without any issues. Please restore this functionality in Revit 2026. Otherwise, these essential standard commands can no longer be used as before when working with such piping systems in the model. 显示更多

When editing annotations, these often come showing multiple values of the same type. Length, Width and Height spring to mind. The really whoopy idea is, why does not revit offer to put the format the user just adjusted to use for all other parameter of the same type? The users can always refuse. 显示更多

Idea Description: Currently, when uploading assets into the ACC Assets Module, duplicate asset records can be uploaded if they exist in the source spreadsheet. While the system performs validation checks for mandatory fields such as Status, Category, Location Missing, etc and restricts uploads when these are missing, there is no validation to identify or prevent duplicate assets. Proposed Enhancement: Implement a duplicate asset validation check during the asset upload process. Before completing the upload, the system should automatically scan the incoming dataset and compare it against existing assets and duplicate records within the upload file. Expected Benefits: Prevent unintentional duplicate asset creation. Improve overall asset data quality and integrity. Reduce manual effort required to identify and clean duplicate records. Ensure more reliable asset registers for downstream processes and reporting. Align duplicate validation with other existing upload validation checks. This enhancement would be a valuable addition to the ACC Assets Module and help organizations maintain accurate and consistent asset data from the point of upload.   显示更多

Current revit 2027's family editor window title will tell you that you are using Autodesk revit 2027 - your family filename - view type and view name. Would it not be great if the currently edited family type were mentioned as well? I find that beneficial and this is the idea. @autodesk you could try this out in a dot release, preferably 2022, and see whether somebody takes notice. 显示更多

When editing annotations to accomodate a new set of shared parameters, you often just substitute an old parameter with its new version. This needs to be done by adding the new parameter, move it up to where its previous version was or is and then you continue to add prefixes, suffixes, line breaks and the occasional format adjustment. This idea is to allow to mark one parameter on the right and substitute it with one on the left. If the parameter on the right just marks a position for the new parameter to insert (as it would in schedules), we would need another symbol for the substituting feature. 显示更多

There is currently no dedicated workflow or design workspace in Revit for substation and HVDC modeling. Critical components such as flexible conductors, busbars, power cables, clamps, connectors, and associated hardware must be modeled using generic tools, resulting in inefficient workflows and limited design intelligence.   Introduce a dedicated Substation/HVDC design toolset with purpose-built tools and intelligent families for flexible conductors, busbars, cables, clamps, connectors, and related electrical infrastructure components. A vertical-specific workspace would streamline modeling, improve accuracy, and better support the requirements of transmission and substation projects.   显示更多

The Select Model Element node in Dynamo only selects the Revit link instance and does not support selecting individual elements within linked models.  Enable the Select Model Element node to directly select and return individual elements from linked Revit models as a native Dynamo feature. This capability should be available out of the box, eliminating the need for third-party packages, custom nodes, or API workarounds. 显示更多

STEP imports in Revit are currently brought in as a single, non-editable block with very limited control over the imported geometry. Users cannot explode the model into individual components, retain or reassign materials effectively, organize elements into subcategories, or simplify overly detailed geometry for project use.   Autodesk should enhance the STEP import workflow by providing native tools that allow imported STEP geometry to be converted into manageable and editable Revit elements by explode geometry.   Having a Simplify tool similar to Autodesk Inventor would be a significant advantage, allowing users to quickly generate BIM-ready, performance-optimized geometry without relying on external applications or complex   显示更多

Revit needs a way to control draw order between model categories, particularly where projection linework overlaps cut linework.   The attached example shows a simple condition: a wall is cut in plan and displays with a heavy black cut line. Baseboard is modeled as casework, aligned correctly with the finish face of the wall, and is displayed in halftone so that it remains graphically subordinate to the wall.   In the Revit viewport, this displays correctly (first image). The heavy wall cut line takes visual precedence over the lighter casework projection line.   When printed to PDF, however, Revit ignores this hierarchy (second image). The halftone casework line is drawn over the heavy wall cut line, creating small gray lines across or beyond the wall edge. The printed drawing therefore does not match what Revit displays in the viewport.   This is especially frustrating because the model geometry is correct. Moving the baseboard away from the finish face would misrepresent the actual construction simply to work around a printing/display issue. Raster processing, Linework overrides, changing line colors/weights, and other workarounds do not adequately solve the underlying problem.   There are really two related requests here: PDF/vector output should preserve the graphical hierarchy displayed in the Revit viewport. If Revit already determines that the wall cut line visually takes precedence on screen, the printed output should reproduce that result. Users should be able to control draw priority between model categories. Revit already provides Bring to Front / Send to Back functionality for certain 2D elements. A similar system for model graphics—perhaps through Visibility/Graphics or Object Styles—would allow users to establish that, for example, Wall Cut lines take precedence over Casework Projection lines. This would be useful far beyond this particular baseboard condition. Architectural drawings rely heavily on hierarchy: cut elements over projected elements, primary construction over secondary finish elements, new work over background information, etc. Lineweight and halftone are only part of that hierarchy; when lines overlap, draw order matters as well.   Autodesk has previously documented the specific behavior of halftone/gray lines printing over black lines under Incident ID 111621. A user-controllable draw-priority system—or simply ensuring that vector output matches the viewport—would provide a proper solution rather than requiring project-specific graphic workarounds. 显示更多

While you can write a formula wherever revit is asking for a number, you cannot do that inside text notes, text parameters or multi line texts.  Well, you can, of course, you are just not to expect a result. Sometimes it is helpful not only to note the result but also the formula that produced it. Maybe such formulas need to escape standard revit text handling procedures by being put into double curly brackets or similar, but that would be the idea. 显示更多

The electrical connector in our Revit families provides Apparent Power (kVA) and Power Factor parameters. However, our load equipment data is generally specified in Real/True Power (kW). To accurately represent the design load in Revit, I would request that a Real Power / True Load (kW) parameter be made available directly at the electrical connector level.   This would help us to: Enter the equipment load directly in kW, as provided in the design/load schedule. Avoid manually converting kW to kVA using assumed or separate power factor values. Ensure the equipment load in Revit aligns directly with the approved electrical load schedule. Improve consistency and accuracy in panel schedules, load calculations, and equipment schedules.   For example, if an equipment load is specified as 100 kW with a Power Factor of 0.80, the apparent power can be calculated as: Apparent Power (kVA) = Real Power (kW) ÷ Power Factor = 100 kW ÷ 0.80 = 125 kVA   Therefore, if we could assign 100 kW directly to the connector as the Real/True Power value and specify the Power Factor as 0.80, Revit could derive the corresponding 125 kVA Apparent Power automatically.   The important point is that Revit's current electrical connector functionality is primarily based on apparent power (VA/kVA)   Your design input is 100 kW, but the connector workflow requires you to work with the apparent load (125 kVA) and PF. So the engineer/BIM modeller has to do this conversion: Design Schedule → 100 kW → PF 0.80 → 125 kVA → Revit Connector Whereas your preferred workflow is: Design Schedule → 100 kW → Revit Connector → PF 0.80 → 125 kVA         显示更多

Let me register a wish here based on a user feedback from Germany. Currently the Project Unit decimal/rounding settings apply only to Schedules ad Tags. The wish would be to extend this to apply to the parameter values of the Properties Palette of elements as well. 显示更多

Hello,   When a host family contains shared nested families, there should be a native Revit option to exclude the container families from schedules (for example, through a native setting that identifies a family as non-countable) without having to create filters for individual family names. For substation designs, generating schedules that correctly count all the nested families is critical. Let me exemplify the problem we are having with a simple example:   - We have a Bolts family file where 2 nested family that are shared are loaded. The 2 nested families are 1 screw and 1 washer, and both are set to Shared so they are countable seperately. When using the Bolts family in a project environment, Revit incorrectly counts 3 items istead of just 2, even when setting the host Bolts family to not be shared. This renders schedules unusable for us.  - We are aware of workarounds like adding parameters to filter out the host families, but this would require immense content management. - Ideally, the best solution for us would be for Revit to simply exclude any family that has its Shared parameter off, even if it is a host family that acts as the container of shared nested families.   Thank you. 显示更多

Many, many thanks for making the Reference Label parameter instance based for Section, Elevation, and Callout Tags, but we need this available for loadable View Reference families as well! We need the same functionality across all view reference types.                           While you're at it, leaders would be nice too... https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/view-reference-leader/idi-p/6602665 显示更多

  Since changes made to the model by the AI may not be implemented as intended, and the results may be difficult to understand, it would be helpful if the AI’s capabilities could be limited— for example, to workflow guidance and information derived from the model However, modifications to the model—such as changing parameters, creating elements, or loading families—should be excluded. It should generally be possible to control this, either in the Assistant’s settings, the options menu, or through the administrator (as with Add-Ins).   Translated with DeepL.com (free version) 显示更多

A long time ago, when I was still using another (CAD) software, that could output elevations, perspective and isometric views to vector formats including shadows calculated by the piece. Revit will only give us rasterized output when shadows are visible. The idea is to change that and make use of the capabilities postscript and portable document format allow for transparency. 显示更多
