Parameters Sorting in Type/Instance Properties

Project parameters were previously sorted by the date/time of creation, now project parameters are sorted alphabetically in type and instance properties dialogs

Export ‘Family Type’ Parameter

Once you have built your family and defined your family types, you can use the “Family Types” export tool to generate a text file.

In Revit 2024, family type parameter data gets included in the export, helping create a family type catalog with less efforts.

Height Parameter in Scope Box

Get more flexibility when modifying scope box parameters. With the scope box feature, you can control the extents of levels, grids, reference plans, and even the views themselves in plan views.

Height and name parameters have been moved from the Options bar to the Properties palette when creating a scope box in Revit 2024. After a scope box is created, you can edit its height value directly in the Properties palette.

Site Design

Site Design - Toposolids

Improve the quality of your site design with the Toposolid capabilities in Autodesk Revit 2024.

Toposolids represent topography as solid geometry and replaces the Toposurface functionality in previous releases with new icons under the Massing and Site ribbon reflect these new capabilities.

There are two methods to create a Toposolid:

1) Sketch the boundary and and defining elevation points

2) Create it from an import file, either a CAD import or a point file in CSV format.

Existing Toposurfaces upgraded from previous versions can be converted into Toposolids with the “Generate Toposolids” contextual tool. Here you can access the legacy Toposurface settings. Linked topography generated from Civil 3D and hosted in Autodesk Docs will be automatically converted into a Toposolid. The Property Line Data settings is now available as a stand-alone drop-down menu of the Model Site ribbon panel.

Site Design - Toposolid Properties

Improve the site documentation with expanded surface types by building Toposolids as system families with different instance and type properties, to represent different types of surface sections such as roads and sidewalks, soil infills, grade slabs, sport fields, water bodies, etc.

In Autodesk Revit 2024, each Toposolid type can display different compound layer configurations and different ways of representing contour line intervals.

Toposolids can be set up as a room bound element, suitable for open space programming. The instance properties of a toposolid report a myriad of dimensional parameters, including slope, perimeter, area, volume, elevation, and thickness, among others.

Site Design – Solid Subdivisions

Another Site Design feature in Revit 2024 allows you to design topography features faster and deliver better site plans by defining an area of a toposolid to offset from the original toposolid surface.

For example, you can use sub-divisions to draw parking lots roads, or islands on a toposolid. Creating a sub-division does not result in separate surfaces. Use the split tool to achieve that. Use the instance properties of the sub-division to assign another material to the toposolid.

The sub-division is positively offset from the original surface and must have a thickness > 0. Inherit Contours toggle will display contours from the parent toposolid on the sub-division.

Site Design – Cut and Split Toposolids

Building pads are now retired in Autodesk Revit 2024. Existing pads present in upgraded models can still be edited, but you won’t have the ability to create new ones. To represent an excavation or a tunnel, use cut tools using in-place void-mass families to perform boolean operations.

In addition, you can cut a Toposolid with elements of multiple categories, including other Toposolids, Ceilings, Floors, Slab Edges, Roofs, Fascia, Gutter, Roof Soffits, Structural Foundations, Walls, Wall Sweeps, Mass Void Forms. Use the Split Tool to freely Split Toposolids in separate element, using sketch lines as the cutting edges. Annotations such as Spot Elevation and Dimensions will remain in place after the split operation. The Split portion with the larges volume will inherit the original ElementID.

Site Design – Graded Regions

Reduce your site construction cost with balanced cut and fill analysis. Revit 2024 can report cut and fill volumes on a site to aid in determining the costs of landscape modification during site development.

Apply cut and fill volume analysis to Toposolids using Graded Regions. The grading tool marks an existing Toposolid as demolished and makes a copy with a matching boundary in the current phase .

Grade areas of the topography using the point shape-editor, where you can add, delete, or change the elevation of points. Report the cut and fill volumes of a graded region with a Toposolid schedule.

Site Design – Show Shape-Edit Control Points

You can preview the display of a Toposolid control points during pre-highlight and selection. Turn off the display of points toggle if you experience performance issues.

The toggle is available as a drop-down panel of the Shape Editing tool. The points will be always accessible when to edit the Toposolid using the Modify sub-element tool.

Site Design – Additional Functionality

Enjoy your site modeling experience with the expanded functionality of Toposolids with it now being easier than ever to model fences that follow the surface of a topography.

Railing now are hosted by Toposolids. In addition, it can host elements from the categories of Site, Parking, Floor Based Elements. Slab edge families can be applied to the edge of a toposolid. For example a slab edge might be used to model a curb edge on your site.

For program developers, Revit 2024 has added APIs for Toposolid-related functions: Toposolid Creations, Generate Toposolid from Toposurface, simplifying Toposolid Points, Subdivision Creations, and Contour Settings.

Rebar

New Path Alignment Options for Freeform Rebar

These new alignment options for the freeform rebar in Revit 2024, increase 3D rebar modeling versatility and help you define the accurate reinforcement for standard and non-standard shapes of concrete elements.

You can now choose how to align the bars in the rebar set and also you can make the bars in the set to be parallel to the planar face selected in the Align/Close constraint. You can also set the alignment options for free form rebar sets, using the Bar Alignment parameter in the Properties palette of the structural rebar or using the in-canvas toggle.

Stirrup Orientation for Aligned Freeform Rebar

Increase 3D rebar modelling versatility by greater control over free form rebars in Revit 2024. You can now toggle the stirrup orientation for the aligned distribution free form rebar by pressing Space bar, however, only applies only for the closed stirrups in the set.

MEP

MEP Fabrication Ductwork Stiffener

Create stiffeners on ductwork with dedicated features with the new MEP Fabrication Ductwork Stiffener command in Autodesk Revit 2024 under the system tab.

This command enables manual placement of loaded stiffener families. Currently stiffener families can be placed and hosted onto straight segments of Fabrication Ductwork. After placement, the hosted stiffener instances would move and resize with the duct segments as users make modifications.

A new family category MEP Ancillary Framing has been added for the basic components used in creating MEP supporting elements such as duct stiffeners, hangers and supports, or equipment racks. Revit 2024 comes with typical Ancillary Framing families used to construct duct stiffeners, including angle irons, struts, rods, angle rings and more.

You can create a schedule with MEP Fabrication Ductwork Stiffener embedded into a Fabrication Ductwork schedule. This allows to more clearly report stiffener data such as stiffener type and their relative location on the duct along with their hosting duct segments, helping with quantification in the fabrication process. Internal stiffeners can be created by constraining internal supporting members such as threaded rods families or conduits families to either side of a duct connector. A built-in parameter is used to differentiate the classification of stiffeners. By setting the parameter value as Internal Stiffeners, Revit creates holes on the stiffener’s hosting ductwork based on shared ancillary framing components.

When you export the fabrication ductwork in a project to a maj. File, hole information will be generated based on internal stiffeners’ locations and shared sub-components. This allows to generate more accurate cut patterns in legacy fabrication products such as Autodesk CAMduct.

Elevation Parameters in Visibility Filters

In Revit 2024, you can easily and accurately control the display of MEP components with visibility filters with access to additional elevation parameters to control the visibility of MEP components in your views.

These improvements to elevation parameters will help you document for installation on sloped MEP segments more efficiently in Revit 2024.

Pipe Wall Thickness as a Built-in Parameter

Revit 2024 has wall thickness as a built-in parameter for pipes to more efficiently create documentation for pipes based on the information available in the model.

This wall thickness parameter is available for pipe tagging and scheduling. You can also use this wall thickness parameter in view filters to control the appearance of pipes in a view.

Hide Insulation With Hosting Duct and Pipe

Improve efficiency when hiding ducts with insulation. In previous releases of Revit, the insulation remained visible when hiding duct and pipe with insulation, however, now in Revit 2024, the insulation gets hidden regardless the method you use to hide the insulation on duct or pipe elements.

Height Parameter in Scope Box

Get more flexibility when modifying scope box parameters. With the scope box feature, you can control the extents of levels, grids, reference plans, and even the views themselves in plan views.

Simulation & Analysis

Solar Study Enhancements

Better visualise the impact of sunlight and shadows. You can access the Sun Settings dialog directly from the ribbon.

Smaller time intervals measured in seconds are now available for single-day solar studies. Study shadows with a higher precision using 15, 30, 45, or 60-second intervals. Drag the sun along its path when using perspective view.

Generate Energy Model by View

Toggle this functionality on or off in the Energy Settings dialog and select a 3D view to create the EAM from to create a faster and more accurate Energy Analytical Model for use in Insight, Systems Analysis and 3rd party tools (via gbXML export). New capabilities for Energy Analysis provide workflow simplification especially when working with linked Architectural models. 3D views can now be chosen to more selectively define what elements are used in Energy Analytical Model creation. This essentially provides an additional means of controlling what elements are used in EAM creation that’s independent from the room bounding setting.

Enhanced Structural Analytical Loads

In Revit 2024, there’s more versatile and accurate definition of structural loads, to improve analytical modeling flexibility. Structural engineers can now apply hosted loads to specific areas of panels and members. Additionally, you can now copy loads to other hosts.

Structural Area Loads With Color Coding

Now in Revit 2024, structural area loads can be presented using color-coding to differentiate load natures which results more clear documentation of the analytical model.

Custom Physical-Analytical Association

Now you can create multiple associations between structural elements to better coordinate updates across the physical and analytical models.

You can associate multiple analytical panels or members to a single physical object (or vice versa). For example, several analytical panels to represent a single physical floor, several beams associated to a single multi-span analytical member, etc. This new feature helps better coordinate updates across physical and analytical models.

Structural Area Loads With Color Coding

Now in Revit 2024, structural area loads can be presented using color-coding to differentiate load natures which results more clear documentation of the analytical model.

Cloud Data & Interoperability

Link coordination models from Autodesk Docs

The new Link Coordination Model feature with Revit and Autodesk Docs makes it easier for project teams to evolve work together.

Keep project files light and your work in synch with your collaborators.
Link directly into Revit models and views from any of the 60+ formats supported by Docs and the Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Underlay the coordination model as visual reference when designing in Revit and reduce the need for interpretation when coordinating design deliverables with partners and project teams.

Properties of Coordination Model Objects

You can select individual coordination objects by pressing the TAB key until it highlights the element you want to select and get properties of this object displayed in the Properties palette.

These properties are in read-only mode and therefore cannot be edited.

Point Snaps for Coordination Model Objects

Enable fast and convenient snap on coordination model objects. When linking a coordination model into your Revit project, you can snap to coordination model objects.

This is controlled by a new “Snap to Coordination Models” option located in the “Snaps” dialog box.

For example, you can use the “Measure” tool to get a distance between an object in your current Revit project and another object hosted in a linked coordination model.

Properties of Coordination Model Objects

You can select individual coordination objects by pressing the TAB key until it highlights the element you want to select and get properties of this object displayed in the Properties palette.

These properties are in read-only mode and therefore cannot be edited.

Design Optimisation

Dynamo for Revit 2.17 Upgrade

Dynamo 2.17 includes the following features: node recommendations powered by machine learning, settings import and export, graph import to workspace, and more. There are several improvements to Node Autocomplete:

Node Recommendations, a new ranking method powered by machine learning and based on graph practices in thousands of training graphs. This method is able to provide more accurate and meaningful node suggestions. This ranking method causes network traffic. If you notice network issues, try switching to the Node Type Match ranking method.
When using the Node Recommendations method, each recommended node is shown with a confidence rating, which indicates the algorithm’s confidence that the node is a good choice for the port.
The existing Object Type ranking method continues to be available as an option and has been renamed Node Type Match.
Node Autocomplete settings are available in Preferences Features Node Autocomplete.

You can import and export Dynamo settings from the Preferences panel. Settings will be exported as an XML file.

When importing, existing settings will be overwritten. To maintain a copy of the current settings, first export your existing settings.
For any settings that are not available in the Preferences panel, you’ll need to restart Dynamo (and any host program you may be running) before the imported settings take effect.

Insert graphs into the workspace by going to File Insert and selecting a DYN file. If you already have nodes or a graph in the workspace, the inserted file content will appear below the existing content. To avoid potential issues, Manual run mode will be changed to Automatic.

Also, there are several improvements to the Documentation Browser:

Content is reordered and organised into three expandable and collapsible sections: Node Information, Node Issue Help (when applicable), and Inputs and Outputs.
Example files in the Node Information section can be navigated using mouse controls or the new control buttons.
Visual hierarchy and a modernised look and feel have been implemented.

Autodesk Docs can now be used as a conduit for sharing Civil 3D surface models with Revit. In the past, it’s been surface sharing has been challenging, but now, when you share surfaces through Autodesk Docs, they retain the triangulation found in Aurdoesk Civil 3D and they are much easier to update. If a new shared surface is modified in Civil 3D, a new version can be published to DOcs and then refreshed in Revit.

In the video below, civil industry expert Jeff Bartels explains how you can make the connection between the two platforms. The video also explores how the Shared Reference Point feature can be used to align the Civil 3D and Revit environments.

What's New in Autodesk Civil 3D 2022

The Autodesk Civil 3D 2022 release brings new alignment and ArcGIS workflows, enhancements with pressure networks and for AEC Collection subscribers, new functionality to the Project Explorer.

Alignment Workflows

The better handle complex geometry for ramps and interchanges, there has been new enhancements to connected alignment functionality:

Curve group combinations
- Free Reverse Spiral-Curve-Spiral-Spiral (From entity, end curve)
- Free Reverse Spiral-Spiral-Curve-Spiral (From curve, end entity)
- Free Reverse Spiral-Spiral-Curve-Spiral-Spiral (Between two curves)
Curves grater than 180 degrees
Connected alignments can now be created at offsets from parent alignments to support slip lane and off-ramp scenarios.
A preview option to view before executing the command

Pressure Networks

The color and diameter of the compass can now be specified using options on the ribbon when laying out a path-based pressure network.
The Profile Layout ribbon tab has been updated for path based pressure networks to make it more consistent with the plan layout ribbon.
Spanning labels for pressure networks can now be created in plan and profile views.
PVIs can now be removed from overridden station ranges of pressure network in profile view that are set to static (non-dynamic) state. When selected, the Clean Up PVIs check box on the Pipe Run Profile Settings dialog box removes PVIs from overridden station ranges. You can use the Apply button to preview the changes in the drawing.
A command named RegenPressureSolid was added to regenerate 3D solids for pressure network parts.

ArcGIS

Raster data imported from ArcGIS can now be refreshed from ArcGIS. For more information, see To Refresh Data from ArcGIS.
When importing and refreshing raster data, users can configure the resolution for each raster layer separately.
The number of available resolution levels has been extended for importing ArcGIS raster data from 19 levels to 23 levels.

User Profile

Users can create their own custom profile based on information about their disciplines and job roles.

Project Explorer

Support has been added for pressure networks in Project Explorer:
- Added support for displaying and editing pressure network information, such as name and style.
- Added support for displaying dynamic profile views for pressure pipe runs in the Project Explorer window.
- Added support for editing multiple pressure network properties and pressure part properties.
- Added support for editing the layout and view style of pressure networks and pressure parts.
- Added Object Set support for pressure networks and pressure parts.
- Added support for generating reports for pressure networks, pressure parts, and pressure pipe runs.
- Added support for generating AutoCAD tables for pressure networks, pressure parts and pressure pipe runs.
- Added support for comparing pressure pipe run sample points with other surfaces.
- Added support for searching for pressure networks by name.
Support has been added for feature lines in the <None> site (siteless feature lines).
Project Explorer is now launched from the Home tab of the Civil 3D ribbon.
Project Explorer is now available in all languages currently supported by Civil 3D. The assigned language for Project Explorer is determined by the regional language settings in Windows.

Grading Optimisation

For AEC Collection users, Civil 3D now includes Grading Optimisation which works as a preliminary terrain optimisation tool for site designers. It uses design data and automates otherwise repetitive manual grading tasks according to customized object constraints.

Available objects include:

zones
drain lines
low points
building pads and reveals
curbs
sidewalks
paths
parking lots
ponds

Once these objects are defined with their project relate constraints, Grading Optimization delivers an optimized terrain surface and 3D geometry back into the design tool for further detailed design.

Infrastructure Enhancements

Revit families created using the generic model family template can be assigned to the Bridge and Road categories and subcategories (e.g. Abutments, Piers, and many more).

Rebar can be hosted and be defined as cuttable in views, scheduled, tagged, etc.

There has also been minor enhancements to alignment stationing:

Prefixes and suffixes may be added to alignment station text.
Flip controls have been added to the alignment station label.
The true start and end stations of an alignment are now exposed in the Revit API to help automate bridge design.

Fabrication Improvements

There is more flexibility to the Design to Fabrication tool with mapping enabled during the conversion process to fabrication parts.
Elements can be connected by dragging connectors in-canvas and design parts and fittings will be placed.
Configuration reload process has been optimized to reduce the number of elements checked out while work-sharing, which results in a reduction of the time to process.

Systems Analysis

A new feature has been included in the Revit Systems Analysis to get more detailed loads and psychrometric reports.

A user can view a floor plan, 3D view or explore results in the report on a single screen.

After running a simulation on a Systems Analysis model view the summary information for QA/QC checks on multiple unit systems. Reports show a breakdown of load components, totals for sizing equipment, a psychrometric chart, and detailed psychrometric state point properties in a printable formats.

The workflows for exporting to gbXML have been consolidated into a new dialog.

Tag Improvements

The following improvements have been made to:

Rotated Tags
Multi-leader tags
Tag curtain wall mullions

When you rotate a tag in Revit, a new Angle parameter for tags, found in the Properties Palette is available.

If you rotate the tag with the Rotate command, the angle value is automatically calculated, but you can enter a specific value afterwards if you like.

If a view in your project contains similar elements, you may prefer that they share a tag.

In Revit 2022, users have the ability to apply a single tag to multiple elements and optionally, indicate the total quantity.

Once a tag has been placed in the model, users can add or remove leaders to similar host elements by selecting the tag and using the Add / Remove Host option.

The quantity of host elements is automatically tracked and displayed both in the tag itself and in the Properties Palette.

Revit 2022 enables tags to be applied to curtain wall mullions.

A new category has been added for Curtain Wall Mullions in the Loaded Tags and Symbols dialog.

Users can to load the tag for curtain wall mullions provided with Revit 2022 or create their own tag specifically for this category.

Users can use the Tag by Category command or the Tag All command to tag curtain wall mullions.
