The following features are new or enhanced for Revit Architecture.
For additional detail and a more interactive listing of New Features for Revit Architecture, go to the following: http://www.autodesk.com/revitarchitecture-features.

User Interface Enhancements

  • Modeless Properties Palette
  • Repeat last command / Repeat Commands recently used
  • Quick Access Toolbar (QAT):
    • Single QAT per application
    • Increased number of default commands in the QAT
    • Customization options via dialog box: move command up/down, add separator, remove command
  • Improved access to Worksets and Design Options on status bar
  • Ribbon Enhancements:
    • Redesigned Modify tab:
      • Consistent modify tools - panels and buttons are always in the same order on the left side of the Modify tab. Buttons enable/ disable as necessary.
      • Modify tab name updates to reflect the active contextual tab appended.
      • Contextual tab content is appended to the right side of the Modify tab when active.
      • Modify and contextual contents are separated by a gray visual bar.
    • Persistent access to core modify tools (Object-Action commands):
      • Move
      • Copy
      • Rotate
      • Mirror - Pick Axis
      • Mirror - Draw Axis
      • Delete
    • Type Selector Enhancements Type Selector is combined with the Properties Palette. Open at all times; can be opened/closed using the Properties Palette button available in the Properties ribbon panel.
    • Group Edit Mode access Panel is removed from the ribbon and will float in drawing area when invoked. Default is upper left corner of drawing area and can be moved.
    • Model In-Place Project ribbon replaced with the family ribbon when an in-place model is started or edited. When you finish editing in-place, the ribbon will revert to the project ribbon.
  • Improved icons based on user feedback

Large Team Workflow: Linked Models

  • Enhancements to the Visibility Control of Worksets in workshared files:
    • Visibility by Default for Worksets
    • Ability to open/close Worksets for linked models
    • Ability to control visibility of linked models according to host model
    • Ability to apply View Filters to linked models from host model
  • Ability to tag elements in linked files, with the exception of rooms, spaces, and areas
  • Ability to automatically generate a ceiling grid from walls in a linked model
  • Ability to apply View Filters to linked files

Graphics

  • Realistic materials available in editable views
  • Hardware acceleration (DX9) on by default
  • Levels of Details (adaptive to zoom)
  • Ambient occlusion
  • Display performance improvements (over 30%)
  • Significant performance improvement in display of mechanical and electrical drawings (up to 200%)

Materials

  • Protein 2.0 appearances, in single project library
  • Increased interoperability with 3ds Max through:
    • Export of FBX files to Max with Protein 2 appearances
    • Import of DWG files and ADSK files with Protein 2 appearances
    Note3ds Max/Design 2011 is required for materials to transfer.
  • Support for new realistic display style through Protein 2 materials
  • New material classes available in Protein 2, including procedural appearances

Inventor Interoperability

  • Support for oval duct, cable tray, and conduit connectors
  • Support of new electrical properties (such as Motor)
  • Improved performance when importing ADSK files
  • Improved AEC Exchange functionality
  • Support of Protein materials

Performance Improvements

  • Graphics
  • MultiCore Operations
  • Sync with Central

  • Family Editor: right-click permanent dimensions to select labels
  • Ability to control temporary dimension font size and background (transparent or opaque)

3D Alignment Enhancements

  • Align tool now works on an element's node, vertex, edge, surface, form, or level

Expanded Region of High Geometric Accuracy
