Me: "Join these walls." Revit: "Got it, I'll space them each 6 inches apart from each other." Me: "No...join them...together..." Revit: "Ok, I'll join exteriors and leave huge gaps cut out of the join." Me: "Wall. Join. Do it!" Revit: "I can...but it will disconnect two roofs on the OPPOSITE end of your building." Me: "...?"
So true, they need to do something about the join issue, or give us more and better tools to join things, often you need to join - unjoin , detach etc. i'm starting to think it's better to have everything detached, because if things are attached you fix something and something else breaks up.
Exactly, this is soooooooooooo useful, i have an addin that does this thing and it changed my life, much more efficient than normal filter, there are many times where you want to filter by family and type and even instances and not just by category like Revit filter does!
these new features are jokes. revit ideas forum has LOTS of ideas never taken in consideration. This does not change at all stuff that we could do even before with many workarounds. I am basically 10 years waiting for improvement on stairs, and many other things that do not worth the subscription we pay annually. We bought more than 150 licences last year. And nothing happened. For the architecture disciplines they continue to add totally pointless features that do not improve at all our workflow.
I don't know why dude... they have the most precious feedback from the users in a forum to make a great product but they give you sloped walls??? I don't get it.
I'm in a similar position and would consider myself a "power user". The biggest thing for me is improved efficiency and speed to keep up with the designer/architect. I put together a custom $6000 pc a few months ago thinking that I would gain some efficiency with Revit, well, it barely does anything. The program is slow and flawed to its core. Adding new features is not important to a lot of us, improving the current features to make them useable is key. As you mentioned, the stairs are a glaring weak point, and then there's the senseless upgrade of files every year. Looking back at it, if I could have purchased Revit outright I would have kept Revit 2018 and not upgraded. If it wasn't for my investment in my template file, I would be long gone by now.
seems to be the case with other Autodesk products over the years as well...I used to be amazed at how overjoyed people were with the crumbs AutoCAD would put out with each new release, but w/o much creativity for such a profitable company.
As always ... thanks a lot for your help. thanks for your videos, thanks for your time There are not many improvements in this new version of Revit but they are welcome. thanks balkan
Splendid. I will be sure to update. Families and the PDF just swept me off my feet. The split schedules is a huge relief. Very eloquently presented. Thank you.
Auto desk really needs to improve its “updates” This could be a feature update to Revit 2021 or Revit 2020. Pick a year and support it for 4 years and use the backend to actually develop better tools. Rhino and Archicad are improving and have viable alternatives to Revit. Few more years of this and people will make the switch to better software.
they dont have a viable alternative to ACC (incl budget/takoff/FM/point scans/AR/cloud collab/coordination) and it all ties in together with native interoperability, or correct me if im wrong..? there is a lot more to BIM than just design (i know there are specialised applications but ifc4 has a long way to go.)
Agreed completly. Also there are new free alternatives to this subscription nightmare. Blender has a native architecture plug in and freecad is a thing. Both needs tons of polishing but overall its hope for a better future where overhead cost is payable without resorting to extremes.
Multi size pages? Diroots Pro Sheet plugin do this and more, since 2019 and for free. Vector shadows on PDF? Naaaa we don’t need this. Improved stairs tool? Wall joints? How about a better set of tools to create sheets layouts? The year update looks more as a features update.
All those are the fantastic & essential updates!!!!! Especially the wall core and schedule, it helps doing the HK submission drawings very well!!!!! Can't wait to use it! Thanks Balkan highlights!
Still no automatic window elevation with window schedule, a shame, Archicad has been doing it for years and saves o much time. cant believe i still need to use revit
@@janniemeyer9951 i know. And it sux. I use revit and archicad. Archicad pops a window schedule in documentation with elevation of each window ad it takes me less than 10 min to make a A1 documentation sheet of the window elevation. With revit its a manual job no matter what way you are doing it. Takes a large house nearly half a day if you need to fill in specs as well. Dont like it. There is a much easier way if revit wants to do it. Archicad proves it. But autodesk does not listen
The rotated tag is useful for Structural Columns, normally avoiding conflicts whith the beams position. Previously it needed to be built at 45º on the family file.
WOW. These *Exciting Changes*! They should have been standard 5 or 10 years ago. ... sometimes walls are sloped? ... dynamic measurements for a ramp? what a wonderous age we live in!
20:25 What was your problem with the door, Milo? You said it looked weird but what would you prefer it to look like? And how would an opening with a "model-in-place" door change that?
It would be nice if revit utilized line types with ABC or 123 symbols within the line like Autocad. My thoughts are when linking a C3D file, it keeps all those graphics...making it easier to understand when creating the model. Another is walls attaching to u/s of ramps. As a structural modeler, I always have to take the arch. Ramp and dimension the hell out of it so I can make a floor match.
Thank you. Something i think Revit should fix or change is the 3d perspective navigation experience. Please we dont like steering wheel to navigate in 3d view. I know we can use commands from the mouse but we all know it doesnt work so good. Thank you Balkan i hope this can make revit a more obvious bim alternative.
modify a wall in height is almost useless, we need to modify in plan. Old buildings has to be designed with different shape in plane while in height we can use thinner wall level by level. Autodesk has to copy simply Archicad regarding wall management and design.
A meaningful improvement for me would be to give pattern lines the ability to have a profile... For example, a brick wall mortar joint could receive a vee, bevel or coped recess or protrusion based on the wall pattern. This will eliminate all the fussing with bump files. Being able to split patterns would also be nice for special connections at openings, etc.
I thought it would have Dark Mode just like AutoCAD. How long it would take for most programs today?... Revit can change only background color and Top text on ribbon.
What I liked the most is the multi leader annotation tag. I am still waiting to be able to Phase Rooms. I can't make rooms in an Existing building!!!!! Maybe someday
Tapered walls, oh god, this is going to make my builder's work hole generator utility break (I think), will have to debug it on 2022 soon and find out lol
Topography tools are still the same nightmare. The terrain doesn´t look smooth, doing a kerb/footpath is an adventure (you use railings or try the site designer which is even worse). If the toposurface is big it starts lagging each time you add a point, contours change when you add a subregion (why???). The same old revit toponightmare. Decent tools for site design would be on the top of my wish list.
Sorry if this is obvious to all: Can I also split a large schedule to fit on a single sheet in multiple “columns”, so I have all the relevant information in a single sheetview? If I split a schedule on multiple sheets, is it also possible to (manually) add a “soft/hard-column-break” before or after specific (sub)categories to make the schedules more legible and avoid “bad breaks” like when using ie. Microsoft Words: Shift+Enter vs. Ctrl+Enter vs. -? The hyphen-option would translate to: “Break schedule at this point if needed” and the “Ctrl+Enter” would translate to: “Always break at this point”.
I'd like to be able to set the default view to Tile view. I always work with the same setup - floorplans on the left tab and sections and 3d on the right. I really wish Revit could remember this so I don't have to rearrange the views every single day
strongly feel this is the first time Revit has commercially failed and has been laid by the wayside.... so many opportunities to improve re AUG requests I bet no one would have prioritised these featured updates.
I can definitely feel for users that are supposed to be impressed with "more realistic RPC models" when its still so damn hard to generate realistic and accurate stairs and railings.
Milos, what version of Revit are most of your courses done in? I have taken the advanced modeling and intermediate level tutorials, and found them to be excellent. I also have taken up a subscription. Thanks for your thoroughness in the courses. Great job.
Revit is great but it’s 3D rendering ability leaves much to be desired. I also find adding parking bays difficult to use. It tends to attach to pads, underside of slabs, difficult to use on sloped floors... It should also be intuitive to assist design. Ascribing material to mass is also a challenge for me.
For rendering and animation, there are much better options. It gets the ideas across to a builder perfectly, but third party tools offer much more realism. Autodesk cloud render tools look pretty impressive though. A professional's toolbox doesnt have to be limited to a single application.
It is me or this version update looks like a missing features update? Getting exited about rotate tags, print as pdf, 3D grids, and tapered walls shows how much autodesk cares about users feedback.
Almost all of these features surprised me.. It didn't occur to me that these limitations existed. I guess it shows the limitations to my knowledge of Revit. They were eye roll updates to me, but clearly there aren't many better options out their so I cannot complain too much, I guess I would just appreciate truly a "Amazing" upgrades as none of these actually are "Amazing". Obviously, I wouldn't be watching this video if I hadn't seen the word "Amazing" in the title but this is a critique of Autodesk, not your video.
Perhaps if they would fix stuff like the roof tool and the stair tool and develop better out of the box content instead of feeding customers with the same libraries in each release. Just maybe they could restore some of the lost confidence.
As an ArchiCAD user, I just burnt a candle for all the revit users out there. Seriously - native PDF export as a brand new feature in 2022? Since using Revit for the first time in 2010 for half a year and being forced to use it every now and then, I just don't understand what they are doing with this program, it barely improved in 12 years in my opinion, while other programs change on a monthly basis... I'm not trying to rant or anything, it's just - is it only the opinion of me (an infrequent Revit user) or are people generally happy with Revit?

Me to Revit: "I Can't do a proper wall join without a plethora of workarounds."
Revit: "I gotchu fam.....Sloped walls!"
Me: "Join these walls."

@@alaskanuni LOL, so true, it does something and it breaks something else.

I like that you can schedule curtain wall panels the most.
Filtering by family and type 🙌 Why has it taken so long? As an MEP engineer we have needed this badly.
Exactly, this is soooooooooooo useful, i have an addin that does this thing and it changed my life, much more efficient than normal filter, there are many times where you want to filter by family and type and even instances and not just by category like Revit filter does!
Holy cow! Sloped walls? What's next? Strike through text? And/or clauses in the schedules? Being able to measure objects in 3D views? I can go on.
I like them to add more topography and site options. Please Please i want an easier way to make a road.
Revit sucks as far as topography is concerned. The plug ins are difficult to use.
Yes! Easier ways to handle topography would be SWEET! It is absurdly clunky right now.
Best way i found for topos are upload them in BIM 360 and then link them, still not perfect but seems to work better than other ways.

@@kaiserw3177 that’s a lot of what’s your build? My revit seems to work flawlessly as far as computing power goes
seems to be the case with other Autodesk products over the years as well...I used to be amazed at how overjoyed people were with the crumbs AutoCAD would put out with each new release, but w/o much creativity for such a profitable company.
Exactly, they focuse more in architectural tools than structural.
As always ... thanks a lot for your help. thanks for your videos, thanks for your time
There are not many improvements in this new version of Revit but they are welcome.
thanks balkan
Splendid. I will be sure to update. Families and the PDF just swept me off my feet. The split schedules is a huge relief. Very eloquently presented. Thank you.
Thanks for this information on the 2022 new features.
Auto desk really needs to improve its “updates”

Yes, updates can seem insignificant, but for this 2022 version there is much good new features, my hopes are high for the 2023 update 🙂

Totally agreed. There has been no significant upgrade in Revit for last 7~8 years.
The Native PDF exporter...? WHAT?!?!?! Finally!!! My life has changed !
Exactly! This is a no brainier Autodesk
Multi size pages? Diroots Pro Sheet plugin do this and more, since 2019 and for free.
Vector shadows on PDF? Naaaa we don’t need this. Improved stairs tool? Wall joints? How about a better set of tools to create sheets layouts?
The year update looks more as a features update.
Still waiting for Revit to release a function to add P or S traps in plumbing
All those are the fantastic & essential updates!!!!! Especially the wall core and schedule, it helps doing the HK submission drawings very well!!!!! Can't wait to use it! Thanks Balkan highlights!
Thanks archicad for bringing new usefull and cool features every version 😎😀 ❤️
Thanks alot I learn alot from you
Great changes, thanks for review!
Great Job! Best Revit feature so far . . . . . . . Varies parameter is no longer blank !
Still no automatic window elevation with window schedule, a shame, Archicad has been doing it for years and saves o much time. cant believe i still need to use revit
Their window and door schedules do not add the graphics to schedules. Expected in documentation.

Archicad has had all these new features for years. I feel truely sorry for you guys.
Why watch revit vids then lol 😆
The rotated tag is useful for Structural Columns, normally avoiding conflicts whith the beams position. Previously it needed to be built at 45º on the family file.
I hope autodesk paid you for this video because this is an excellent presentation.
Nope, I'm not sponsored by autodesk in any way 🙂
@@balkanarchitect that's preposterous. You should be an Autodesk honorary employee by now.
These are minimal changes, since revit 4, practically nothing has changed, from the point of view of professional work
WOW. These *Exciting Changes*! They should have been standard 5 or 10 years ago.
... sometimes walls are sloped?
... dynamic measurements for a ramp?
what a wonderous age we live in!
What a poxy update. I pay my subs for these token updates while huge 'needed' updates are ignored. it's a kick in the teeth for subscribers!
Revit just trying to catch up to Archicad.
Merci boi, u're amazing
the pdf part is the most intersting thing in ver22
i like it, they make it esay....👍
Why would the framing taper in the wall? That's not how we build. Cute tho.... the masonry will taper not the framing.
Took 20 years but now you can taper a wall! That makes up for the fundamental flaws and awkward dated user interface!
PDF and Filters are the things I am looking since long time
Good job! 👍
20:25 What was your problem with the door, Milo? You said it looked weird but what would you prefer it to look like? And how would an opening with a "model-in-place" door change that?
I would like to see a default corner based mullion which can take a profile family like the normal rectangular mullion
for me it is not big changes ,we waiting something strong ,look like how to create organic form with easy way .
It would be nice if revit utilized line types with ABC or 123 symbols within the line like Autocad. My thoughts are when linking a C3D file, it keeps all those graphics...making it easier to understand when creating the model.
Another is walls attaching to u/s of ramps. As a structural modeler, I always have to take the arch. Ramp and dimension the hell out of it so I can make a floor match.
Multi leader tag is great, love to isee Revit mprove view range.
Roof needs additional functions, Capping, Flashing, Vally.
Can you please explain about creating area plan in Revit 2022?
well done
Still have problem with Window Schedules which lack integration of window graphics.
Mainly bug fixes as far as I am concerned, Autodesk justifying there massive subscription.
Hey man, great content! Can I ask you were to get a decent library of generic families (i.e. walls, floors etc)? Thanks in advance. Keep it up!
Yeah, I messed up my families by installing it across multiple hard drives. I'll probably completely uninstall and reinstall this weekend.
Thank you. Something i think Revit should fix or change is the 3d perspective navigation experience. Please we dont like steering wheel to navigate in 3d view.

The thumbs down is directed at Autodesk, not you. :)
Waiting for Revit feature that can save new version file to lower version file just like we can do in CAD.
Same! But I honestly think they want us to just pay for AutoCAD as well just so we can get a work around.
That’s probably impossible. How do you transfer a parametric tapered wall to a version that doesn’t allow it... same for lots of features
What about topography???
A nightmare
very good 👌🏻👌🏻
I thought it would have Dark Mode just like AutoCAD. How long it would take for most programs today?... Revit can change only background color and Top text on ribbon.
Still Revit is years behind ArchiCAD... Very slow improvements over the years.
good job
What I liked the most is the multi leader annotation tag. I am still waiting to be able to Phase Rooms. I can't make rooms in an Existing building!!!!! Maybe someday
The PDF export is perfect! But honestly all these changes should happen long time ago and now they sell it as new functions 🤦🏼♂️
Tapered walls, oh god, this is going to make my builder's work hole generator utility break (I think), will have to debug it on 2022 soon and find out lol
By the way did they give trasparency to RPC families in realistic view?
I would like them to make timner wall and floor framing easier
How to make taper or angler curtain wall family in revit
Archicad has so much more to offer for a power user architect. Revit on the other hand is perfect for engineers and MEP specialists.
Topography tools are still the same nightmare. The terrain doesn´t look smooth, doing a kerb/footpath is an adventure (you use railings or try the site designer which is even worse).
If the toposurface is big it starts lagging each time you add a point, contours change when you add a subregion (why???). The same old revit toponightmare.

I can definitely feel for users that are supposed to be impressed with "more realistic RPC models" when its still so damn hard to generate realistic and accurate stairs and railings.
In the wall section I cannot see your categorizations like 200 mm, 300 mm. what should I do?
SWEET!!! i'll be sure to update.

For me i have plan to install three version 2020,2021 and 2022
They Should add Version Compatibility instead of always upgrading to newer version.
I'm waiting for schedule filter "AND" option. Which is updated?
many freeze and crashing in 3D view realistic and error in 2022
Sir I have revit 2020 version. My client sent me Revit 2022 file. Is there any way to open this file in Revit 2020?
Perhaps if they would fix stuff like the roof tool and the stair tool and develop better out of the box content instead of feeding customers with the same libraries in each release. Just maybe they could restore some of the lost confidence.
amazing updates..but i still waiting to revit export DWFx with layers...but the update on the pdf export its amazing
No News for Topography? F.e. Underground structures?
Any please help! I can’t get through this render images missing in my 2021 version, how to fix that?
Does Revit is capable to export the file to Autocad Architecture file?
Runs on Mac? (without supplementary software)
Omg... I just downloaded 2021 😩🤦🏻♀️ ... whatdahelll
All I ever want is to open rvt file from any Revit version
WHEARE IS FAMILY PROJECT OPTION PLZ HELP REVIT 2222
Hi after change the render appearance how to change the floor plan view to car ? It still tree plan after 3dview change to a car model 😂 thank you ~
omg, i just downloaded revit 2021
Haha I guess it's time to upgrade again :)
Is RAVIT the cashcow for Autodesk? Where are the really new improvements?
what a update ? i'm Architect i have been using Revit For 4year I'm so Sad about it . i want to see Revit update more Creative Function .
abandon it asap
Thanks for your videos.
Could anyone advise me the good channel to learn AECOsim open building designer?
what about wall face on mass can we edits it or its only for this kind of stuff if it is not then there is no point
Waiting 1 year to get this, it could be just a little update to 2021......
Son muchas cosas que nos ayudaran a facilitarnos las cosas
