@@AussieBIMGuru I do agree some of them aren't that great in the overall scheme of things but depending on where you sit you will find some more interesting than others (like you on Dynamo) for other people the overall general stuff is really good and helps a lot.
Eh about the logo - numbers are needed! Seems ignorant for Autodesk to ignore their users on this one. Yeah IP2 is challenging, theyre going with the line of IP2 having security issues. Makes sense, but frustrating nonetheless - chaos is coming!
We really need greater modeling control of railings, specifically custom control of a baluster’s location. The railing updates a few versions back were great, but it still difficult if not impossible to model the intended design without hacks or in-place families. I was so hoping to see something related to railings in this release. At first glance, this one is a big letdown after 2022.
British Architects should be writting "Open letters" every year to Autodesk, so that we have proper Updates every year. Last year with the version 2022 was only successful because of the open letter....
Possibly... talking is probably less effective than walking - I know some large firms looking into alternatives already on the back of the letter. There are heaps of small QOL improvements in 2023 but they just dont feel like gamechanging updates to me, might satisfy some users for now though.
Hi Gavin. Thanks for the summary. Generally agree with you that there is no great improvement, although I do like that we can filter schedules by sheet (at last), that we can duplicate a family parameter (at last), that we can hide a mesh and can edit the print order. I always think it is interesting that different users spend more time with different tool sets.
Yes definitely many 'finally' features in there - decided not to cover many as they give Autodesk the idea that we're happy to warrant a version and associated excitement on the back of what should just be patch fixes. Hope you're doing well, catch you at a future event no doubt!
A few oversights/errors by myself to correct: - I meant to show the measure tool versus dimension in 3D, oops. Pick workplane is new, dimension in 3d isnt, measure in 3d is. - View references appear previously searchable, worth checking the adsk feature summary to see what is new here specifically - Went past some features that werent that exciting to me such as solar study UI, schedule sheet filter and various QOL improvements. Revit Pure has a good video too which covers some of these if you want to see them all
The version compatibility is truly an issue. Virtually all my architectural projects are assigned designated Revit versions simply because some consultants have their entire libraries that way and prefer it, some consultants aren't backwards compatible with others, forcing projects into interoperability issues, some users simply make mistakes or windows opens a file in a new version, they miss it and all the work goes to waste. The icon ambiguity tells me that Autodesk really don't give a flying finch about what works for their users and the industry, but only what works for shareholders.
Indeed. I would be happy at this point if they were just honest with users and switched to perpetual patching at 3 month intervals and did away with versioning altogether.
I've never understood this argument. Do we really think Adesk would concede a huge portion of their version upgrade revenue by allowing this? Half of AEC would still be on 2015 & half of their $$$ marketing budget would be in the 🚽.
This is by far the most mind boggling thing to me about Revit...A professional software that doesn't support earlier versions of itself despite mediocre updates.
In one year just these changes? I mean, the features are really nice but I would love to expect more. It's 2023 and we are getting excited about IFC-Class selection in UI. I am looking forward to seeing API changes..
API changes are the hardest ones to make in my understanding, as they effectively have to rewrite and re-implement new code. I agree we need many more features to be exposed, and also some API to be made more logical in how it functions though.
@@HippieP629 yep there are a lot more changes (some of the bigger ones I mention but don't cover such as power automate and cloud parameters). Heaps of what I would say are small but handy changes which for me don't get me excited when seeking more from the platform beyond what I would call bug fixes or patchable features that could be released at any time. I'm very opposed to the annual release and backwards compatibility so I try to focus on the features which are radically different for the most part, or those that I'm able to show with the preview build prior.
Still no tabs in the project browser? Seya next year! haha but in all seriousness there are some bangers in this release, I like it. It looks like they fixed systems and phasing, you beauty
Yes systems and phasing is a nice improvement. Not sure I'd go as far to call many new features bangers, but I guess everyone finds different things exciting!
@@AussieBIMGuru it's been in since 2019. the similar tool that is missing that search function is "View Reference". in the View>Sheet Composition section. maybe that's where they added it.
Though not documented a bug report I made is been rectified. In 2022 and previous could only digit group as this 123 456 789,000 there was no option to replace comma with period unless comma as digit grouping ie 123,456,789.000. Just checked 2023 and now can have as 123 456 789.000
Also, in Dynamo 2022 they removed the option Manage Packages from the menu "Packages". They moved it under Dynamo > Preferences > Package Manger. Just why? I don't get, it honestly looks like such UI was designed by someone who was drunk. Would be also great if you could simply go to a parameter and calculate new measure by adding + WITHOUT adding the = on the front. Such as: Window Height 1200 (mm) Window Height 1200+100 Window Height 1300 If you tried this you get an error which requires you to do this every time Window Height =1200+100
Some handy items for workflows, but nothing that game changing. Overall feel this a weak release. Was hoping to see 3D walls and Topography as listed on the road map. IMO really wish they would work on schedules(customisation and functionality) and Legends.
I'm not sure when they'll land, but I know some roadmap features are in beta testing currently. Hoping to see them released as an update versus held a whole extra year.
Could just be an invert colors button or something for revit. I usually invert the colors in windows when working at night but since my default windows is already in dark mode, i have to disable it and it's just a huge pain.
Question on the Dynamo/Python issues. I've only been using Dynamo for a monthish so I'm still new. Who needs to have the latest version of IronPython loaded, the person writing the custom nodes or the person using the custom nodes? I think I'm already finding issues with this and trying to figure out how to fix it.
When you import an acis sat file. You would be able to make a section on it without loading it in an inplace familie first. It should be very good when you are working on coödinates but I can not try it because I do not have an 2023.
no evolve at all on revit but in the cloud features of revit and clash report for cloud colaboration will evolve a lot but again, you need to pay more... autodesk it's leaving all potential to create great tools in the hands of users because the can`t find a way to simplify the construction world in simple tools. we need to put Apple on this task...
Lots of small QOL changes but not many that were of excitement to me. The cloud development front is interesting but I agree not everyone will be able to afford to follow Revit there. Not enough money for Apple I'd say!
Wake me up when Revit uses a graphics card, you can smoothly model in a 3d view, the topo modelling works, the scheduler has an either/or filter, and the UI has a higher contrast so it doesn't cause eye strain.
How about being able to insert a file with detail components and revit not duplicate the families just cause they have different instance parameters...
Hrm yes it appears they did in this case. It might be the ability to search before/after creation maybe - see what they summarize it as on their feature list but they did seem to indicate part of this process was new. I did spot one feature in the list we couldn't cover (that 'wasn't integrated yet') which was in fact a 2022 feature as far as I know. Definitelt hard to find many new features in Revit for this build, so if this one isn't new then oh dear, even less to get excited about...
Pretty sure dimensioning in 3D without locking view was already a feature I use it all the time in 2020. Just text and tags? I believe required locking view.
You could do it, but the dims where 'stuck' in place so when you rotated the view the dims where going to different locations and not looking neat, hence the lock requirement. Now it's better.
Hello, can you give your advice, Our Company here in Saudi is new for Revit and BIM work. Last week they bought Revit 2023 for the new project the issue is the Client are using Revit 2021, can our BIM coordinator can still upload my Revit Family (Elevators specifically) in the BIM360 without issue in the version? thanks
Start adding your Ideas to the Revit Ideas forum. forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/idb-p/302 Vote for the features on the Revit Public Roadmap trello.com/b/ldRXK9Gw/revit-public-roadmap
My ideas have been there for years. Multithread. Back compatibility. Better control over railing components. The problem is these are actual problems to solve which require time/money invested by Autodesk versus features one could go as far as deeming bug fixes.
I was on Developer Q&A i didn't thing i can be more disappointed, but somehow they find a way. No question was really answer, they basically said to spam forum to fix things. The 'lead' know so little that sometimes we thought that connection was broke. nop, he just watch question for 2 min. I'm not even gonna go in to R2023 until end of year, going to new version is to much hassle(I had every version of revit from 2017 to 2022). I didn't see yet what they change in api but i probably gonna hate it, year before they only change a names of method in gbxml and not fix any thing. Changing a Icons just show that they have to much people in marketing.
Yes I can't say I have a great deal of confidence in the dev qna's these days either. I tend to get the 'well have to ask our technical guys about that one' if I ever ask about Revit API which is somewhat concerning... ah well, moving on!
The new icons look so bland, Autodesk had much more interresting icon's in the 2000's. Autocad's Icon literally was the crosshair cursor in icon form. The new version doesn't seem to have much improvements. Version 2022 is great, at least they added PDF export (which saves me a lot of time!). I also like the duplicate sheet option. The only new feature of 2023 that seems somewhat usefull to me is the IFC export mappings. Recently I had to deal with steel connections not exporting in version 2020, seems like you have to manually edit the type mappings in that version in order for them to export. If you've ever wondered why there's the "include steel elements" option in IFC export and it didn't work, well it's got something to do with that. I'll I stick with 2022 for the time beeing.
Yes I miss the old icons too - a lot more character than what we get now! 2022 did have some improvements worth upgrading for but I also think I'll be skipping 2023 for now. I believe the IFC mapping/export issue with steel might relate to the default mapping table in the exporter settings - a lot of categories related to engineering are set to not export, or export as proxy.
Always glad to provide them! As far as I know it doesn't seem any more possible than before, and is typically tied to the creation step versus rehosting after depending on hosting method.
In this case you should just open the package manager and install the 'Iron Python 2.7' package just like any other custom package. From here it should allow packages relying on old Python to work.
@@AussieBIMGuru Keynotes should be stored in ACC same as shared parameters especially with remote teams and remote subs. The current dialog box should have an edit option. OTB keynotes are a bit useless but we develop firm and project specific keynotes for consistent noting. The current keynote file is a text file which windows cannot make read-only when opened leading to potential overwriting the file when multiple people try open. I had keynotes stored in a web server writing to a local file on update. The database holds the true file so each updates publishes the latest. If we could only link from Revit to a URL all would be solved.... well as far as keynotes.
@@GregSmith-gi5gp yep agree with all those things. In the meantime I've typically been storing keynote files on google sheets and then using dynamo to construct files from them to get around sharing issues. Will be interesting to see how the piratesourcers handle all their clients moving to b360 over time as more features rely on it.
Oh please, at least smile when you are saying phrases like ''Industry is moving towards IFC''. Here is another one they love to say on BIM conferences: ''Our Industry is being Globally Digitised'' 😂 Because people like me ARE in that Industry. And I can tell you much more about IFCs or Real Digitisation. And the reality is completely different. 🤣🤣 Leo (Arch Tech & Eng)
No major issues with IFC personally, just needs better documentation and appreciation outside the BIM circuit to drive proper adoption by firms in markets where it isn't as well understood. Also if Revit made better quality IFC no doubt wed see more adoption too, unfortunately the average user still thinks revit = BIM, so they also see IFC as Revit > export IFC.
@@AussieBIMGuru Oh yes, the key word here is ''IF'' Autodesk makes IFC export not such a nightmare, then yes, maybe we have a future with it. Otherwise, for the last 15 years everyone cursing IFC exports. I have seen most of companies who actually adopting BIM, they trying to steer away from any contact with IFCs. 😂
Autodesk won’t improve their product, monopoly kills quality. Why add reallly useful features everyone would use? Like holes by mep or wall finishes, collision checks and etc etc
I agree on both fronts. The hard thing is I guess they have no pressure from external competitors to do so until there is a viable competitor that people use in preference to Revit for such tasks.
haha patch to 2022 great love it.
Haha glad the joke resonated! Not sure autodesk will find it quite as funny... eep
That was perfect 👏

You did miss quite a bit of features that I'm aware of:
- Work plane save placement, will remember workplane until reset.
- Materials can now be saved to a server/ cloud location
- Temporary Dimensions for Shared Nested Families
- Performance improvements (Unload/ Reload faster, Skipping regeneration and calcs for redundant rooms, Area/ volume improved performance)
- Large selection improvements (Worksharing Controls on/off)
- Interactive Solar Studies
- FormIt files can now be linked as CAD file
- Better mesh management (imports for OBJ & STL)
- PowerAutomate is a great feature as this helps with Business processes so not just RVT Automation
- Cloud model non-destructive rollback
- Updates to Key Schedules
- Updates to Conditional Formatting with Schedules
- Schedules filter by sheet
- Additional Taggable Categories
- Contour labels will now read better
- Generic Annotations have an improved orientation
- Change Page order in PDF Export/ Print out

@@AussieBIMGuru This singular issued has caused me to question the nature of my reality.
Hilarious, a new patch for R22🤣 Interesting how fast UE & Blender are moving while Revit tinkers in the margins
Yes it's interesting to see, although both have much more cross industry support versus little old Revit.
我也装了Revit2023，发现Dynamo的图标颜色变了，说实话我还是喜欢原来的，然后我把自带的节点过了一遍，然后第三方的安装包，发现确实很多出现了IronPython2和CPython3要转换的问题，有的即便转换了还是会出问题，比如Data-shapes，而诸如clockworks出现了大面积不能用的情况，也许你出个安装IronPython2的教程？
In this case you should just open the package manager and install the 'Iron Python 2.7' package just like any other custom package. From here it should allow packages relying on old Python to work.
Another big miss - keynotes still get no love - shared parameters can link to the cloud
Doubt keynotes have anymore changes to come really. What changes do you think they need? Being in other tag types is the main one I can think of.
@@AussieBIMGuru Keynotes should be stored in ACC same as shared parameters especially with remote teams and remote subs. The current dialog box should have an edit option. OTB keynotes are a bit useless but we develop firm and project specific keynotes for consistent noting. The current keynote file is a text file which windows cannot make read-only when opened leading to potential overwriting the file when multiple people try open. I had keynotes stored in a web server writing to a local file on update. The database holds the true file so each updates publishes the latest. If we could only link from Revit to a URL all would be solved.... well as far as keynotes.
@@GregSmith-gi5gp yep agree with all those things. In the meantime I've typically been storing keynote files on google sheets and then using dynamo to construct files from them to get around sharing issues. Will be interesting to see how the piratesourcers handle all their clients moving to b360 over time as more features rely on it.
we are waiting for revit 2024
Wasnt a very interesting release for me, so no video this time around. Maybe check out revit pures video.
I thought Autodesk's new logos were April Fools prank or something.
Haha yep so did I!
well... this sucks. I mean R23, not you. ;)
Mm some nice additions, especially for dynamo users - but I expect the Revit side might not satisfy users as much.
Oh please, at least smile when you are saying phrases like ''Industry is moving towards IFC''. Here is another one they love to say on BIM conferences: ''Our Industry is being Globally Digitised'' 😂 Because people like me ARE in that Industry. And I can tell you much more about IFCs or Real Digitisation. And the reality is completely different. 🤣🤣 Leo (Arch Tech & Eng)
No major issues with IFC personally, just needs better documentation and appreciation outside the BIM circuit to drive proper adoption by firms in markets where it isn't as well understood. Also if Revit made better quality IFC no doubt wed see more adoption too, unfortunately the average user still thinks revit = BIM, so they also see IFC as Revit > export IFC.
@@AussieBIMGuru Oh yes, the key word here is ''IF'' Autodesk makes IFC export not such a nightmare, then yes, maybe we have a future with it. Otherwise, for the last 15 years everyone cursing IFC exports. I have seen most of companies who actually adopting BIM, they trying to steer away from any contact with IFCs. 😂
Another year and another load of nothing to better the architect's experience...
Yep, starting to feel that way...
nothing useful as usual, just little candies for kids
Mm sour candy I'd say.
Revit dead...
Only dead if people let it die.
@@AussieBIMGuru No...Revit killed itself. People do not want it to die.
Autodesk won’t improve their product, monopoly kills quality. Why add reallly useful features everyone would use? Like holes by mep or wall finishes, collision checks and etc etc
I agree on both fronts. The hard thing is I guess they have no pressure from external competitors to do so until there is a viable competitor that people use in preference to Revit for such tasks.
