We have non-rectangular crop regions. Can we please have non-rectangular scope boxes so we don't have to copy/paste the non-rectangular crop region to 30 views.......
Absolutely Agree – There are around a dozen things like this that have not been addressed over the past years. I have given up hope that they will ever be sorted, now they are talking about Forma!
Why would they add something like this? The development staff need to pick a choose what to work on. There is so much basic stuff missing from this program, but there are not enough resources provided to make these changes. Just look at how short the list of feature additions and updates are on yearly or major updates.
Everyone is already paying for this software. The only thing giving more resources to developers would do is reduce profits.
@crapai Yes why would they spend some of the billions in profit they pull in every year on something that customers have asked for for over six years with 1700 up votes when they can use that profit to buy out competition so those current costumers have no other options and just continue to put up with a program that is massively outdated in functionality.
After 20 years, I would expect things like this to be sorted.
Revit has some very good features but it is seriously let down by unfulfilled basic requests like this.
Many users use Revit for project documentation and, in my experience in this area, it is half as productive compared to CAD systems and workflows I used in the 1990s.
I had expected some progress but I feel it will never arrive with Forma on the horizon.
We need some alternative options and maybe we should be looking in a similar direction as has happened to Blender and Omniverse.
Ask your cable TV company if you can have the discount they give to the new customers. They will laugh at you. Autodesk has the same business model. They are only interested in new MarketShare.
This isn't a forum to discuss politics, financial decisions and to vent frustrations. Many of these comments are unnecessary and do not contribute to the idea.
As far as I understand, updating the scope box requires fundamental changes to Revit which cannot be simply rolled out as a minor "update". They would need to release a Revit 2.0; the alternative is to hack the software using many inefficient automated processes to achieve the same result which will most certainly cause severe performance drops. I don't think anyone wants the second option.
My apologies if any of my comments offend anyone and but, in my opinion, the progress of Revit over the last decade has been glacial. The July/August issue of AEC Magazine (The Open Letter – Two years On) indicates that I am not alone. I understand that we have had over 20 version releases of this software since Revit was bought by AutoDesk so I am not sure where Revit 2.0 fits into the picture. Over that time we have seen systems running Windows XP and 2000 running on Pentium 4 processors to Windows 11 running on AMD 3995wx CPUs of today. Revit still seems back in the 2000s. The Non-rectangular Scope Box request was initially made on the 17th of May 2016, over six years and six Revit releases ago! I have been using AutoDesk software for over 35 years and it is sad to see things ending up like this.
AUTODESK, please please please PLEASEput focus into improving Revit!
Please?
There's a handful of Quality-of-Life tweaks that have languished for years, despite thousands of votes. Think of how much value a dedicated fan-base would be. Pushing Revit just a few degrees towards user-driven requests would net so much goodwill.
Plus, it would save me from using a hidden master floor plan with crop boxes to divide up my non-rectangular buildings.
It lists the updates over the last five years or so, which is great, but so many useful features in this forum have not been implemented. A lot of the Revit updates, while very useful, are not impacting Revit productivity in the way that many users use it in the real world, especially in the area of documentation IMHO.
I answered as below.
I am sorry, but this seems a bit misleading to me in that many ideas and comments have been on the Revit Ideas AutoDesk forum for many years but have seen no action. An example come across my email today:

This request was initially logged in May 2015 (05-22-2015 07:36 PM), over 7 years ago so I am not really sure which users are being listened to?
There are a lot of good ideas in this forum, especially in the areas of documentation which is currently Revit's "bread and butter" for most users in the real world. You know, the stuff we get paid for as architects and designers.
Autodesk. Revit has the ability to create extrusions from irregular polygons, please add this feature to scope boxes ASAP. This would be invaluable to many if not all.
