Known Issues:

• See Limitations to the Issues Add-In help for more information about the limitations associated with creating issues on 3D models.

Revit Issues add-in V6.0.0

• Support for thumbnail history in each issue's Activity Log.

Known Issues:

• Why are my issue pushpins not displayed in Revit?
  • Both 3D and 2D issues are visible in the panel list and viewer, see here for limitations: Limitations to the Issues Add-in

Revit Issues add-in V5.2.0

New Feature and Enhancements:

• Support for 2D issues has been extended to display pushpins for drawing sheets when showing issues for Autodesk Construction Cloud projects Revit 2022 and above. Other Revit 2D view and sheet types as well as drawing sheets from BIM 360 projects and Revit 2021 will not show any pushpins on the view.)
• View only support for 3D Issue Thumbnails and Markups from Build, Docs, and Model Coordination from Autodesk Construction Cloud projects.
• Help icon navigates to the Revit Help where the list of reasons why pushpins may not be visible are provided.

Known Issues:

• Why are my issue pushpins not displayed in Revit?
  • The view has not been published to Docs or the file has not been uploaded to Docs through Desktop Connector. Views or files must be uploaded to Docs to display issues in Revit. Make sure that the file opened in Revit has been opened from Autodesk Docs or from a Desktop Connector file path.
  • The view is a 2D view or sheet published to BIM 360. Pushpin display is not supported for 2D views or sheets opened from BIM 360 projects.
  • The view is a 2D view or sheet published to ACC. Pushpin display is supported for Revit drawing sheets from version 5.2 onwards for ACC projects. Other 2D view and sheet types (column schedules, legends, reports, view plans, section views, drafting views and table views) are currently not supported.
  • The file or view does not belong to a Revit RVT file. Pushpins can only be displayed for Revit files (with the RVT extension). We currently cannot support pushpin display on other file types.
  • The issue was created on a copy of the view or file in Docs. Use the Associated Models window to load the issues from the copy of the file or view. See Working with Associated Models .
  • The issue was created on another view as part of a clash result. Use the Associated Models window to load the issues from the copy of the file or view. See Working with Associated Models .

• Add or remove models from the Clash table in the Revit Issues Add-in Overview panel.
• Issues link to Docs Viewer in Autodesk Construction Cloud.

• The Overview panel now includes a new Clash Tolerance card displaying the number of clashes found within the selected tolerance ranges.
• The Load Issues functionality has been replaced with a new, more powerful, Associated Models window allowing the inclusion of issues from any Revit^® file in the Autodesk^® Docs project.
• Associated Models can be quickly filtered from the Issues pane to allow focus on the issues for a specific set of models.
• A new view called Revit_Issues_Addin_View will be generated and used to show the pushpin for any issue where an appropriate view is not available in the currently open file within Revit^®.

Resolved Issues:

• When an issue for a 2D sheet view is selected in the issue pane, the view is no longer repeatedly re-activated when trying to navigate away.
