OBJ and STL files are now supported as file types for importing into your models. Export OBJ Files Community idea: Export your models to an OBJ file. Edit Multiple Rebar Set Constraints 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. Automatically Match Coupler Size with Rebar Type 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. Adjust Slope for Fabrication Parts Use the Add Vertical and Change Slope options to make sloped connections when connecting a branch run into a main. More features Compatible Shared Parameter File Check 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.

Wall Enhancements Community idea: Wall enhancements include the ability to create tapered wall elements and to display only a wall's core layers. Shared Parameters in Key Schedules Community idea: Use shared parameters in key schedules to populate and change properties on elements in your models. Improved FormIt Interoperability Use FormIt as a tool for developing conceptual models, and refine the design in Revit without losing data. Link Rhinoceros® (3DM) Files Community idea: Link 3DM files to your Revit model to build on the work started in Rhino. Multi-leader Tags Community idea: Use multi-leader tags when you need to place one tag that references multiple elements of the same category. Rotated Tags Community idea: Use the Angle parameter in tag properties to rotate tags. Multiple Values Indication Community idea: Control how properties with different values are displayed when multiple elements are selected, scheduled, and tagged. Move Rebar in a Set Community idea: Control individual bars in selected rebar sets and reinforcement systems to avoid clashes and maintain system logic. Faster and Precise Rebar Placement by Two Points 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. Model Rebar using the Real Bar Diameter 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. Systems Analysis Loads Report 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. More features People Flow Toolkit Route analysis now includes the ability to analyze multiple routes, as well as new family content to help you perform route analysis tasks. Share 2D Views Use the Shared Views tool to share 2D views of a model in the cloud with project stakeholders. Tag Curtain Wall Mullions Community idea: Use the Tag by Category command to tag curtain wall mullions. Associate Connections with Profile Sizes 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. Prefix/Suffix for Dimension Types Community idea: Customize dimensions to meet your documentation needs by adding a prefix, suffix, or both to a dimension type. Split Schedules Across Sheets Community idea: Split a schedule into multiple segments and place each segment on sheets in your project. Spot Slopes on Ramps Community idea: Place spot slope annotations directly on ramp elements to improve the documentation of your model. Reference Planes in 3D Shapes Use reference planes in imported 3D shapes for dimensioning, snapping, and aligning. Multi-Category Tag Enhancements Community idea: Use a multi-category tag to tag all taggable elements. Support for CSV Export for Schedules Revit now supports the ability to export schedules as CSV files. Improved Default Color Scheme A new default pastel color scheme has been added. Grids in 3D Views Community idea: When working in a 3D view, you can display and modify grids for the model. Enhanced RPC Community idea: Enhancements have been made to RPCs for more rich photo-realistic content. Revision Numbering Enhancements Community idea: Create custom revision numbering sequences, and assign different sequences to your project revisions. Auto-shading in Panel Schedules Community idea: You can enable auto-shading in a panel schedule template based on the panel configuration. Generative Design Revit 2022 incorporates the latest updates to Generative Design in Revit, including additional sample study types, easier sharing of study types, and more. Preserve Callout Views Community idea: Callout views have the option to be preserved when the parent view is deleted. Remember Modify Tools Settings Community idea: Settings used for tools from the Modify tab of the ribbon are remembered between sessions. Select Shape Code for Custom Bent Free Form Rebar You can now assign a different shape to free form rebar that cannot be automatically matched to rebar shapes. Remember Settings when Placing Rebar Settings used for placing rebar are remembered for the entire Revit session. Rebar Visualization Performance Improvement in 2D Views Performance has been improved when opening, zooming, or panning in 2D views showing rebar sets in fine or medium detail level.
