Leverage computing power to quickly generate and explore alternatives to a design problem based on your goals and constraints.
This feature provides a superior replacement for realistic views.
Create slanted walls and slanted curtain walls using the standard Wall tool. Slanted walls can host elements like doors, windows, electrical features, wall sweeps, and more.
Link a 2D PDF file or a raster image into a 2D view for reference without increasing the size of the model or affecting performance. Then remove the file when it's no longer needed.
A flexible method for defining circuit naming schemes helps support conventions in different regions of the world.
Cloud models can now be hosted on Europe data centers.
Enable and disable view filters in the Visibility/Graphics dialog. View filter effects are turned on and off instead of adding and removing filters for the view.
You can define 3D rebar shapes by rotating the hooks at the ends of the bars, model rebar chairs (sanders) or other 3D bars, and extract full fabrication data in the schedules.
Updates to Revit Home provide a consistent experience for BIM 360 account and project navigation between Autodesk products, such as Revit and Civil 3D.
For detailed steel modeling, the Revit steel connections list now includes stiffeners. This new family type consists of one or two steel plates that reinforce a beam or column section, welded to the input beam or column.
Create a user profile that allows Revit to provide a workspace recommendation that is tailored to your work discipline and job role.
To make a large schedule easier to read, set the Stripe Rows feature to display rows in contrasting colors.
When you collaborate with others using Plant 3D, P&ID Modeler for Revit now references P&ID drawings stored in BIM 360 Document Management.
To more easily work with linked models, you can display coordinates of linked models in the host model. These coordinates include the survey point, project base point, and internal origin.
Parameter names for circuit quantity on switchboards and panelboards have been improved.
The family parameter Rotate with Component has been added to more tag categories. In addition, text rotation in section heads is improved.
Revit 2021 includes several performance improvements.
The steel connections nodes dedicated to placing steel connections are provided with the Revit installation, as part of Dynamo for Revit.
The former structural precast extension is now integrated into Revit with a dedicated Precast tab on the ribbon.
Easily specify the hook lengths for each rebar in the project, without the need to duplicate the hook type and change the length for that type.
Worksharing with MEP Elements has been improved to provide a more consistent experience and enable better collaboration among stakeholders.
To better support distribution systems commonly found outside the US, Revit supports single phase two-wire line-to-neutral panelboards.
Use the Switch Phases tool to assign a phase to a circuit in a switchboard panel.
The Sheets section of the Project Browser lists the panel schedules that appear on each sheet.
The Frame parameter is now available for spare circuits, and it displays in panel schedules.
Formerly an add-on, Integrated Structural Analysis Storage and Exploration is now integrated into Revit, available on the Analyze tab of the ribbon.
In the Design Options dialog, option sets and design options are automatically sorted in alphanumeric order.
Voids used in families have a new parameter: Cuts Geometry.
This release includes updates for rebar end treatments, couplers connecting to arc-shaped rebar, and 3D solid fabric sheet visualisation.
You can now create steel elements such as plates, bolt patterns and contour cuts directly in elevation and section views and edit them in any type of view.
Learn about enhancements and new features in the Advance Steel 2021 Extension for Revit.
Ten new Dynamo nodes are available under the Element category, allowing you to easily manipulate Revit element functions.
