T E X T A L I G N are you kidding me why am I so excited for that!

Thanks for your input on the new Revit 2025 features! I still can't wrap my head around why they don't fix the invisible projection/profile lines in toposolid. Toposurfaces always showed such lines as you orbited around your model, or in elevation views. I don't understand why nobody talks about this, since it is SUPER important, especially for elevation views where you need to see the profile of your topography shape. (not just the section line) I know this is because toposolids are floors in their core and floors don't show their profile shape in typical drawings when you edit their sub-elements, but but you can't have the same for your surrounding topography!

The biggest thing missed on sheet sets is the ability to now have multiple pages with the same sheet number in different sets. Think multiple projects with in one model.

Thanks for the stream, Jeff. Was nice to see you experiment with some new stuff for the first time (even if it was Arch stuff)

Cheers! Thanks for tuning in !

I love the alignment option

Great insights as always - live is always fun for us both. Some fantastic updates to features in 2025

26:45 It might be handy to be able to cut a TopoSolid with a roof because of the Roof slopes. Some folks are using roofs to model the excavation works (upside-down roofs). Once you know the soil properties you define the maximum slope without extra retaining walls and that is how you model the slope on the edge. (an upside-down trapezoidal prism cutting the toposolid)

Good shout! Makes sense !!

Thanks man. It was informative and positive talk. Wish you Revit 2026 will contain more satisfying feature. looking forward for more videos in your channel

keep an eye on Advance Steel to Revit updates as I believe Advance Steel is in maintenance mode with Autodesk and Revit has more Advance Steel options etc.

The only thing Autodesk could do to make it better this year, is cut the price a bit for everyone

Haha yeah like that'll happen. Been on the ideas board for 10+ years probably... Most of these new features exist to justify cost increase. The autojoin tool was a perfect demonstration of a half baked feature. Not joining on corners makes it effectively useless for its intended purpose. Ah well... cmon 2026.

Did they fix the pdf button not being linked to build cloud file system?

Is it possible to draw a line smaller then 0.8mm in 2025 ? Or do we still have to redraw all autocad files.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CREATE GLASS BRICK WALL IN REVIT?

Installed 25 and it killed my 22. Had to reinstall 22, sad.

My first thought was: some nice things, but... is that all???

@@simonweel7971 personally, new release s are more like “updates” these days.. it doesn’t really need to be a full release … could just be an update. But, I am not coder or developer … I’ll take what they give me and they have a lot of little useful nuggets this year!

Its always been like that, they lost my financial support a while ago. (Still using 2018 outright ownership)

But once again, Architecture is feeling left behind.

Revit, as a modeling tool for custom 3D objects (couch, chair, other entourage), is in a stone age. While it is possible to model intricate 3D objects in a free software, even web-based ones, like OnShape, Revit didn't change it's approach since V.1: extrusion, blend, revolve, sweep, sweep blend... that's all Revit got? - sad, borderline pathetic. Am I missing something?

That's because we aren't using Revit to design chairs and couches... we are designing and constructing BUILDINGS! Sure, if I was a chair designer I would NOT use Revit as my primary modeling tool... That's not what it was made for.

It wasn't meant for civil, it wasn't meant for MEP, it wasn't meant for furniture, etc. It is now. Revit has a built in collection of furniture, kitchen equipment, and plumbing fixture. It's not a big deal to add 2-3 more tools that would allow for more organic shapes. And I'm not talking about designing furniture by the way, I'm talking about modeling an approximation for presentation purposes. All in saying is that it looks like Revit developers... no scratch that... Revit maintainers got lazy after they got monetary (licenses) incentives to not care.

@@TheRevitKid You do buildings, sure but many of us are using Revit for civil structures (bridges, tunnels, transition structures, and more much more). Steel reinforced concrete cast in-place bridge abutments are complex geometrically and do cause problems when all we have is extrusion, blend, revolve, sweep, swept blend. I like the show!
