Some new and changed features of Autodesk Revit LT 2014 require upgrades for projects and family files, or they result in certain behaviors of which you should be aware.
- Text formats in schedules: Existing text formatting is mapped and assigned to a new reference text type. For each unique set of font properties in the original project, a new type is created and all elements sharing that same set of font properties will be assigned to that type. Types are named using the following sequencing pattern: Schedule Text <number>. See Format a schedule.
- Conditional formatting: You can now allow conditional formatting to display on sheets and print from a sheet view. When you upgrade a project, this is off by default. See Format a schedule.
- Steel beam and brace families in legacy projects: To improve accessibility to beam geometry positioning, some steel structural framing families were updated with new Geometric Position parameters. The following parameters have been removed:
- (Construction) Start Extension
- (Construction) End Extension
- (Other) Start Extension Calculation
- (Other) End Extension Calculation
These parameters remain in projects created in versions prior to 2014. It is recommended to use the new Geometric Position extension parameters instead of the Construction extension parameters and shape handles. The Construction extension parameters are additive to the Geometric Position extension parameters and may cause confusion later in the design process.
You can clean up the project by manually updating all affected families. See Steel Beams and Braces in Upgraded Projects.
