We can un-clip the Project Base Point and move it to mark a specific location in our own model.
REVIT 2011 NEW FEATURES HOW TO
You'll want to use that when exporting to PNG or TIFF formats for further processing in Photoshop.Īuto - Project Base Point to Project Base Point (2016R2) - This positioning option gives us a new way to reconcile files that are started without agreeing in advance how to create our models relative to our own project's origin. There is a new Background style in the Rendering dialog called Transparent.
REVIT 2011 NEW FEATURES UPGRADE
When you upgrade a model, the rendering settings that were specified for the NVIDIA mental ray engine are mapped as closely to the appropriate settings for the new engine as possible. You can select draft or production quality. Rendering settings are saved with each view's properties.Īutodesk Raytracer is used when you render a material preview. When you export a walkthrough, if Visual Style is set to Rendering, the Autodesk Raytracer rendering settings specified for the walkthrough's view are used for export. Autodesk Raytracer is now used for all rendering functions so the option to select a rendering engine has been removed. Rendering - The change over is complete, Mental Ray is out. MEP users will see that they are doing the same thing with Duct. In addition, if a wall appears very small in the drawing area, it displays as simplified lines, regardless of the detail level assigned to the view. They are one of more tasks that Revit is changing to avoid making us overly aware of things happening, slowing us down.ĭisplay of walls - Revit will regenerate walls only for those visible within the drawing area.
REVIT 2011 NEW FEATURES UPDATE
You'll definitely want to look closely at this change.Īt least one Update (patch) for 2016 R2 was released to patch issues with this feature (Color Fills) recently. Look for tomorrow's post, I'll cover this feature more then. We'll be able to create indented lists with a bit more control now and we can place just a leader (empty text).
REVIT 2011 NEW FEATURES FULL
It's apparently a lot harder to create a full featured text editor than we users think. Text Editor - A top ten wish list item since Revit 1.0 has finally been tackled. New in Revit 2016 R2 (features released with R2 late last year) Multi-Disciplinary Enhancements in Revit 2017 (called Platform in the past) Structural Engineering Enhancements in Revit 2017
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Engineering Enhancements in Revit 2017 Help Documentation links for What's New in Revit 2017 New Features Videos - Start with these videos provided as part of the help documentation if you prefer watching videos to reading my blog post. We'll see a need for upgrading from 2016 to 2017 files but not from 2016 to 2016 R2 files.
REVIT 2011 NEW FEATURES CODE
The special R2 version gives us early access to some of Revit 2017 features that were code complete and did not require a file format change, which necessitates an upgrade of files. Autodesk released Revit 2016 R2 like they did with Revit 2015 the year before. Autodesk has their own interpretation of what are big new features and sometimes I agree.īefore I get on with it, I need to mention that a fair portion of what is new has already been seen, and put into play by Autodesk customers with active subscriptions. In my RTC sessions I've repackaged the new stuff into my own three categories of Stuff Big Stuff, Other Stuff and Subtle Stuff.
I think that individual posts make features a bit easier to digest hopefully they compliment a summary post like this one. I'll still do what I've done in the past and tackle features with dedicated posts as the new Revit season progresses. That written I decided to compile my own review of the new features and enhancements in a blog post. I'd rather they all take their turn at the microphone and I'll sit down, listen and learn from them. Besides, after more than ten years of this, I feel like I have less I need to stand up in front of people and say.Īs a part of the crew for the Revit Technology Conference ( RTC Events) I also see class proposals for a great many people who really want to say what's on their mind. Last year I promised myself (and family) I wouldn't submit for any speaking engagements in the coming year (2016). Creating a session like that is a great way to get better acquainted with the new features each year. It has usually been accepted and then I often presented it for RTC North America too. In past years I've proposed a What's New in Revit session for RTC Australasia.
