This is opposite of the functioning of spines. Splines are Nurbs. In a mathematical function, nurbs are calculus and lines are algebraic. They can’t go together because this would be to difficult for calculating. Side note, I don’t know what point clouds would have to do with splines.
there still a huge huge place for improvments ... in stead of this diarrhea of new versions each few monthes let it be once a year with real improvements ... typical Autodesk! I guess they dont involve users sufficiently in their development
As a structural engineer, working with Architects using ArchiCAD and .ifc's is a nightmare... About time you guys moved over so everything can be in the same package i.e. arch, struc & MEP etc.
@@jameshendry27 that'd be a huge shame as it's good for everyone to have competition. Autodesk need to play ball with IFCs, there's some hope with r 2023. I used to use Archicad but have been a Revit user for the last 14 years.
T-spline modelling inside revit. Or revit can understand triangulated faceted meshes. System families for kitchen cabinets, sidewalks, roads and siteworks. Photogrammetry. These are my top wishlist
I hope Revit cud really bring a feature where you can open windows and doors easily jus like in Archicad instead of having to download certain components that have the feature or editing them... it's really useful for presentations... i love revit it's straight forward... but i don't like how sometimes i have to look to other softwares jus to get one feature to have a complete model...
I’ve been doing BIM for almost 20 years. Firstly, it’s super easy to create a family with open doors, but most importantly, why would you want to show show open doors? In plan, you can easily Create a door that has adjustable swing radius. I suppose if you want to make an animation of a door opening in 3D? If so you would use 3ds Max. If you are wanting to do something just because ArchiCAD can do it, there is something fundamentally wrong with your thinking. In plan, we show doors open, in elevation we show doors closed. That is because of industry graphic standards.
@@DevinSheaProductions I've been teaching myself Revit really been using it for 2 years now so creating families from scratch is challenging for me at the moment... I do presentations i need them for those... I'm not even familiar with 3ds Max...
Thanks for such great vedio. Looking forward for the video of connection automation. I am interested to know if there are some new features regarding generative design and interference with Dynamo. Thanks in advance.
The one and the basic thing i miss on all revit software is "we should always import component by draging but i prefer like archicad which is using the components(furniture) right away from the software
I am glad revit is finally cleaning up their act. Fixing old potholes and thinking about user expirience rather than selling you new 360 stuff and rising prices on subscriptions.
Key thing for me with this update is improved 3d modeling speed. It's no longer laggy or bogged down, and has a few key additions that make 2023 what 2022 should have been.
I use Revit for Residential and it is would be nice if Revit offered more functionality for Dimensioning. AutoCad for instance will allow you to dimension practically anything. Sometimes I would like to dimension along the diagonal of a Wall containing a Bay Window for instance, and Revit will not do it. I can pull off of a Wall to a point and get a dimension that way, but it will not allow me to pick a point in two locations and pull a dimension between those points. I would really like to see Autodesk fix this in Revit. Nice video of the new features in R2023
It would be so amazing for creating DA or graphical floor plans in revit if you had the ability to change the opacity of a placed pdf or image so you can make custom graphic tree images and have them on site plans to limit the need for back and forth from photoshop. The ability is already there but its limited to 'decal' only so it would be great if the just extended it to basic pdf and image imports
This is a very common issue. The best way is to create your sheet, and add the color fills in post photoshop. I have made 400 different tree family’s, and at the end of day, Revit doesn’t support transparency. You can Create a tree family, with a solid circle in plan, and use view templates to adjust the transparency, but there is no way to get it to look correct, because Revit just doesn’t support transparency.
Thank you for your videos, they are my first port of call when seeing what is new. Now my question, when will Revit allow us to schedule the coordinates for piles in foundations. I know you can buy an add on but surely this is a basic thing that should come with Revit; or have I missed it and it is already in Revit (NOT Dynamo).
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
Hi Balkan, Any news about the building pads? At our office we usually work with "underground" buildings and this is always a pain to make a building pad and then there's no way to make a topography above it, so we have to use a floor or a roof to simulate the topography. Any news about this?
If Autodesk stopped jerking around with creating a new Revit for "fixes", they would actually be going somewhere. -This year new Revit feature, landscape finally turns the right way, yaaaay. It took us one year, new Revit and your welcome. Better they come with new Revit version every two years and truly work on the engine of Revit. I bet you next year they will come out with new room colours as default. "Improvements for Revit"
The contour labels lining up one way is against the rules of cartography. Text should be always rotated with the top showing uphill direction. Easier to read. But it's more applicable to large scale elevation maps and less important for site plans.
Hi Balkan, I have been trying to follow along with your tutorials but I cannot change my project units to what you prescribe. In the format there is only degrees, gradians, radians and degrees minutes seconds. No other options are listed, how can I fix this?
i am simple i just want revit show curve on elevations... so i dont need to use shadow to show the curve surface.... give it some line work shows its not flat....
It is good that they added option to cut views option in families, but I rather prefer if autodesk could have placed the tickbox option inside the project already, not in the family editor. Since you have the freedom to decide whether you need to cut view or not in a specific view of that the same family without the hassle of reeditting the family in editor again and saving as new family.
Due to the new structural enhancements, there is no longer a button called "Enable Analytical Model". Am I right? When I watched the Revit tutorials of 2021, this option exists, but I can not see it in Revit 2023. Thanks in advance!
Thank-you for the informative video. What's your timetable for updating the beginner to intermediate video? I want to start the training when the new video w/ Revit 2023 comes out.
Hello I will be updating in within a week or two. As for your question, yes you can upgrade, just let me know and I will give you a discount for the first month. 🙂

I do bim for an electrical contractor in the dc area. I’ve been using autocad mep for 7 years now. It’s all I know and I’m pretty efficient with it. Has anyone used both revit and autocad and can tell me if it’s worth switching to revit? And why?
!!RECOMMENDATION!! -------------------------------------- Am kindly asking Revit Auto desk to create continue multiples rendering and automatically saving them. Meaning, one at the time when camera view 1&2 are setup, after view 1 rendering is over, view 2 will automatically start while view 1 will be automatically save.
It would have made for a really short video if you had just said "another year with relatively insignificant upgrades". It's 2023 and there still is no automatic spellcheck. If I want wood framing in walls, i need to spend another $1000 per year with a separate vendor. Boo on autodesk AGAIN
Some of the more important updates (of this quite boring revit release) were not mentioned in this video. For example, the ability to filter by sheet in schedules. What this basically means is that you can make just one room list schedule and use it on every floor plan - it filters out everything that's not visible on the viewports on this sheet. Another useful feature is that you can store material maps on Docs and links don't break for others.
@@JerryAnsahAyim that's the worst combination possible due to the known communication issues graphic/processor because of the south bridge gate problem. Why do you think this combination is selling for around £1000?
Though some of these features will aid in workflows overall think this a very disappointing weak release. Was really hoping to see real 3D walls and topography improvements as listed on the road map. With any luck we will see this in Revit 2024. IMO the features that requires drastic improvement are Schedules(functionality and customisation) and Legends.
I don't recommend upgrading to revit 2023 if you use lumion, the LiveSync option is not to date. I kinda need to restart my whole project 3 days before the deadline due to revit not allowing upgraded models to go back to an old version. Or please let me know if you have a fix to this, it would really help.
I don't want to sound harsh but Revit requires a better GUI, a geometry modeler like Rhinoceros and an easier approach for design. It's a great program for documentation on anything but the price is too high for a single user and the license is not permanent. Of course commercial licenses should be of course handled accordingly but this program begs for an easy entry to new users. It has so much potential since every object is simply parametric. Revit is a DATABASE that provides information of a building in exact terms of simulation. Anyway, those are my two cents. I hope the company reconsiders like Epic is doing with single users in Unreal engine 5. Revit is super important for game design too.
Wow yeaah new cool features! Engine optimization? Wall finishes? Maybe, at least freakin’ holes by ducts and pipes in structural elements? Better connection to navisworks? Oh yea boiiii we have now new parameters for filter, and now you can change view if you will remember which views you placed, otherwise you get this shitty error. Yeah nice
Alls I'm saying is if there isn't an option to turn off that stupid pop up 'can't join elements ' or whatever, during modelling, when it's obvious that's what you want to do. I'm gonna go to Autodesk offices and freak out in reception (joke) better say that as we know words are now harmful. anyway...its OK if it's just once but when it pops up over and over...come on Auto desk sort this out! It's when you move something that was joined, could be a beam, col, even a detail line. And if your doing it a lot for amendments to a model say, then it's very very annoying and it needs sorting
if they are going to keep charging and increasing their prices... they need to start justifying with more features. !00% monopolistic business tendencies
revit needs to enable spline lines to fillet with other lines. As someone who works with point clouds it’s quite necessary
This would be a miracle. Maybe in 5D.
This is opposite of the functioning of spines. Splines are Nurbs. In a mathematical function, nurbs are calculus and lines are algebraic. They can’t go together because this would be to difficult for calculating. Side note, I don’t know what point clouds would have to do with splines.

Oh, finally after 20 years Revit catch up with ArchiCAD! Now Revit adeps cam measure in 3D without any extra magic moves!

Of course commercial licenses should be of course handled accordingly but this program begs for an easy entry to new users. It has so much potential since every object is simply parametric.
