For technical details, see the release notes.
Community idea: Open any version of a Revit cloud workshared model to compare it to another version of the model or to edit and save it.
Community idea: Use snaps to select a mid-point between two selected points.
Set an option to automatically lock elements when using the Align tool.
The Load Autodesk Family tool now allows you to load more than one family at a time into your model.
Community idea: Duplicate a sheet in your project.
Select elements in your model and use a right-click to locate the element in the Project Browser. With nothing selected, the active view (or sheet) is located in the Project Browser.
See improvements to CAD file positioning when linking and importing. OBJ and STL files are now supported as file types for importing into your models.
Community idea: Export your models to an OBJ file.
You can now edit the rebar constraints to adjust the bar lengths or distances to the concrete faces of multiple rebar sets at the same time.
The rebar coupler size automatically adjusts to match the bars you are trying to connect, or it reacts to the changes in size you make to already connected bars.
Use the Add Vertical and Change Slope options to make sloped connections when connecting a branch run into a main.
To avoid issues with shared parameter files created using different releases of Revit, you are guided to save a copy of the shared parameter file for project management.
Community idea: The Split and Place dialog is improved to help you make and place schedule segments. Cut and Paste is enabled for keynote legends that have been filtered by sheet.
Community idea: Resize the Site Settings and Choose Site dialogs so it's easier to use them.
Create family parameters quickly when editing families by using the duplicate control in the Family Types dialog.
When you use the Workplane Viewer tool, the viewer is zoomed to model extents by default.
You can use Select All Instances on more element categories and with multiple element types selected.
A search bar has been added to multiple dialogs, allowing you to search for category names within the dialog.
The toolkit used to handle IFC files has been upgraded to use the Open Design Alliance SDK (software development kit).
Twelve new Dynamo nodes are available, allowing you to easily manipulate various Revit functions.
Community idea: Export views and sheets to PDF files. Provide custom naming rules for batch exporting of PDF files.
Community idea: Wall enhancements include the ability to create tapered wall elements and to display only a wall's core layers.
Community idea: Use shared parameters in key schedules to populate and change properties on elements in your models.
Use FormIt as a tool for developing conceptual models, and refine the design in Revit without losing data.
Community idea: Link 3DM files to your Revit model to build on the work started in Rhino.
Community idea: Use multi-leader tags when you need to place one tag that references multiple elements of the same category.
Community idea: Use the Angle parameter in tag properties to rotate tags.
Community idea: Control how properties with different values are displayed when multiple elements are selected, scheduled, and tagged.
Community idea: Control individual bars in selected rebar sets and reinforcement systems to avoid clashes and maintain system logic.
You can now place single bars or sets by specifying two points to define a bounding box to which the rebar shape is expanded. For single segment straight bars, you can directly specify the dimension and direction.
Community idea: You can now model rebar using the actual bar diameter to avoid clashes. This is especially important in concrete elements with a lot of large diameter bars.
When you perform a Systems Analysis and select the HVAC System Loads and Sizing workflow, a new loads report contains more detailed information related to loads and psychrometrics for sizing mechanical systems.
Route analysis now includes the ability to analyze multiple routes, as well as new family content to help you perform route analysis tasks.
Use the Shared Views tool to share 2D views of a model in the cloud with project stakeholders.
Community idea: Use the Tag by Category command to tag curtain wall mullions.
You can easily define rules that associate steel connection types to their structural input elements, based on steel profile properties, steel grade and member end forces.
Community idea: Customize dimensions to meet your documentation needs by adding a prefix, suffix, or both to a dimension type.
Community idea: Split a schedule into multiple segments and place each segment on sheets in your project.
Community idea: Place spot slope annotations directly on ramp elements to improve the documentation of your model.
Use reference planes in imported 3D shapes for dimensioning, snapping, and aligning.
Community idea: Use a multi-category tag to tag all taggable elements.
Revit now supports the ability to export schedules as CSV files.
A new default pastel color scheme has been added.
Community idea: When working in a 3D view, you can display and modify grids for the model.
Community idea: Enhancements have been made to RPCs for more rich photo-realistic content.
Community idea: Create custom revision numbering sequences, and assign different sequences to your project revisions.
Community idea: You can enable auto-shading in a panel schedule template based on the panel configuration.
Revit 2022 incorporates the latest updates to Generative Design in Revit, including additional sample study types, easier sharing of study types, and more.
Community idea: Callout views have the option to be preserved when the parent view is deleted.
Community idea: Settings used for tools from the Modify tab of the ribbon are remembered between sessions.
You can now assign a different shape to free form rebar that cannot be automatically matched to rebar shapes.
Settings used for placing rebar are remembered for the entire Revit session.
Performance has been improved when opening, zooming, or panning in 2D views showing rebar sets in fine or medium detail level.
Use filters to quickly find available parameters when creating schedules and working with project parameters.
Community idea: Eight new model categories have been added to allow more control over elements in your model. New functionality has been added to existing infrastructure categories.
Tags in the host model remember hosts from a linked model and are automatically re-hosted.
Load Autodesk Family now includes navigation elements to help you find the families to load into your model.
Sixty-seven new Dynamo nodes are available in several categories, allowing you to easily manipulate Revit element functions.
Set points for Systems Analysis now use values from ASHRAE 90.1.
The workflows for exporting to gbXML have been consolidated into a new dialog.
You can specify a default folder for energy analysis reports.
A new project unit, Heat Capacity per Area, has been added for walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, pads, and analytical surfaces. Use Heat Capacity per Area to represent the Thermal Mass per area for these elements.
When a family with a nested generic annotation is loaded into a project, and placed on a vertical surface, the annotation is displayed in floor plan views.
Community idea: More categories can now show an annotation symbol using the Maintain Annotation Orientation family parameter.
To provide more flexibility when creating Circuit Naming Schemes, project parameters assigned to the Electrical Circuits category may be used in Circuit Naming Schemes.
Several MEP fabrication workflows have been improved.
Community idea: Use enhancements to view filters to more quickly create and apply filters to your views.
DWG and DXF files exported at large view scales now provide improved quality.
Community idea: You can now add a Workset parameter when creating a schedule in workshared models. This update offers a new method for managing worksets for elements.
Community idea: You can now use system categories and subcategories that were previously not available in multi-category schedules and material takeoffs.
Revit sessions will remember settings in the Material Browser.
Cloud models can now be opened by using the File menu in the Revit ribbon.
Community idea: Filter by Family and Type parameters in schedule and material takeoff views. This improves family filtering in single-category or multi-category schedules.
New features and improvements have been made to the Revit Issues add-in.
