Revit 2022 - What's new?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Sorry for those that came to the premiere of this video only to watch it get stuck in the intro! I hope you enjoy this anyway, and I had fun talking to you all in the comments briefly :)

[@andrescaceres7027]

Best video I have seen for the the new Revit 2022

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Thanks Andres!

[@archist9789]

New video format looks nice. I hope Revit also shall be as nice as your lectures.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@robprice8729]

Great run down of the new version ABG. Note, the tagging of the mullions is something I have been waiting for! :)

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Good to know it has use for some users!

[@aarons1817]

Working on hospitality sector projects and multi use facilities I can say food equipment is huge! Definately a welcomed change. Refrigeration would have been another great category to introduce.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yes it does seem useful when i think about it more, makes me wonder if kitchen consultants might go all in on this category.

[@conordally1284]

Another great vid mate, couple game changers in there, I'm already getting new ideas for my workflows.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yeah look forward to getting projects in r22 to use them!

[@8020BIM]

Excellent Breakdown of the new Features Gavin. Batch selection of Filters is definitely a nice quality of life bump. As is Shared Parameters now being available to the Key Schedules. But I agree - the real gem is the ability to now have the custom revision sequences - no more Janky ISO 19650 compliance workarounds for me (in 2 years that is... once all my currently live projects are closed and I can move the company up the version ladder :D ) Thanks again for the stellar video. Niall

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Thanks Niall! Yep I know many UK firms will appreciate that update in particular. It has actually been a good way to see how few forms outside the UK are on the standard - seems very few highlight reels identify this benefit so far that I've seen. Some go as far to say tapered walls are more exciting - bah!

[@8020BIM]

@@AussieBIMGuru I couldn't give a rats a$$ about the tapered walls (although from the Civils perspective I will definitely be using them for retaining walls). Improvements in one aspect of one System Family category is a low impact change as far as I am concerned compared to something as fundamental as revision controls, Schedule control etc.

[@makerbobdesigns365]

They have really stepped up the quality of life features, but this puts into sharper focus the rant video. Most construction subcontractors are going to be trapped without these new features for a few more years to come. Terrible that they never try to put these new features in previous build updates.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yes i was genuinely quite happy with this round of changes, and then equally bummed out when i had to go back down to 2020 again (I never even really used 2021). By the time im in 22, 24 will probably be out!

[@BhanuPChauhan]

I really like this new format of videos. 🔥👍

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Glad it has gone down well!

[@adamhadji5488]

Thanks Gavin, I can see there are some interesting improvement in R2022.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Indeed! Not necessarily any show stoppers, but a solid set of updates.

[@ambrozote]

Very succinct though very thorough, Gavin. Thank you very much.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome, cheers for the kind words!

[@brenttassell1715]

really nice vid. Now it'd be nice to see a bit of evolution in Navisworks!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Sure would be! Seems like they're still trying to make BIM360 Design the new platform. Not feeling it myself.

[@RowenaBIMOnly]

Thank you that was awesome!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome!

[@ScottValentine]

11:32 Floors with holes in them!! HA! I've just spent to much time trying to work this out in 2019.2, I figured out a workaround with mass in place and make floor.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

It's a very welcome addition to the API! No more mass floors needed once you make it to 2022.

[@vector-bit]

Very nice video and easy explained 👍. If I can say I was expecting Autodesk to do more work on general Revit performanse, mostly because industry is moving more and more to prefabrication. For example improvements in Steel connections, rebar detailing miss still huge improvement and especially Revit ability to manage high detail models which we need to have if we want to produce elements and if I am not wrong that was one of the points in the latter. Thanks again for the nice video, great work

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yes model detail is becoming a challenge. It seems autodesk usually recommends upgrading hardware rather than reworking the software.

[@unitedreddevils7832]

Thanks man! We all appreciate it!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome!

[@JavierOropeza08]

so many great additions, but I am actually kind of mad thinking about all the times I needed these features exist many versions ago.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yes its definitely a bittersweet update.

[@archist9789]

Yeah....every "new" features should be done 10 years ago...Stairs are 10 times complicated issue than these "new" features. Probably we have to wait 100 years...My grand grand grand son and daughters could enjoy new stair tool...

[@senglychau2624]

Great video. The quality of life! and definitely a whole lot of it. Hours could be saved from workarounds to do these basic things in the past.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Thanks Sengly! Oh all those hours we could get back if we had things earlier. I cringe every time i think of my pre-dynamo wasted hours especially.

[@marianaarodrigues1]

I need to listen to this Intro at least 1 last time ;D

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Haha definitely earning that medal!

[@8020BIM]

Say Gavin has mild PTSD from listening to his own intro half a dozen times earlier :D

[@namulondosarah6191]

Great video ,,,, thank you

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@wenjinglee6031]

Great video and Thanks! The question could be that: can these slanted or slope walls be used for analyzing like Robot Structure or Etabs?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Now that is a good question! Hopefully we'll see what our structural engineers make of them soon.

[@immi85]

one question, can we export different size of sheets at once? like if we have some A1,A2 sheets ? currently i am using dynamo to do this :-)

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yes there is an option called under page size.

[@rodyvv3321]

Cool!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Glad you liked it!

[@RasmusBroennum]

Any news on instance data import from Excel into elements in groups? In large housing projects we have to use groups, but in the past there has been limitations to data import from Excel to elements in groups.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

This is still limited. You can only modify grouped element properties on an instance basis if they're not defined at the group level, which is set in the project parameter settings when first created, or for a few default ones like mark.

[@RasmusBroennum]

@@AussieBIMGuru That is the setup i already use . But i’ve had problems when trying to import data into a schedule from Excel if elements are prt of a group. Tried a bunch of add-ins and some Dynamo, but seemed none if them would push data into elements in groups. (Even if the project parameter setup is dine correct:-). In huge door schedules i could really need a solid way of importing third party data. If you say it can be done just fine, i will give a try again. Thank you, Jedi Master:-)

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@RasmusBroennum I just tested a model with some walls and a project parameter that has 'values can vary by group instance' ticked on, and it seemed to work using a standard set parameter method in Dynamo. The main limitation I could see here is that some parameter types don't allow variation per group such as length parameters.

[@asengemand121]

Okay that was too fast on my part. while watching your video uninstalled the revit 2021 and downloaded 2022. So, do you encourage not opening 2021 files in 2022, rather make new projects in 2022 and let the 2021 be worked in the 2021 version of revit ? And thanks for a great video once again.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You can upgrade models when ready, but it's important to plan this moment as revit models cannot be taken back to older builds.

[@67Keldar]

Legend... Thanks

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome!

great video, many thanks

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome Ruben!

[@henryglennon3864]

Is there still an arbitrary limit on tbe number of filters you can have in one schedule? Can you add an "or" clause to the filter, so that it can include more information, rather thsn just constantly winnowing down?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yes they increased the filter count a few versions ago but schedule filters still have a cap. I couldn't see any/or combinators in schedule filters, only in view filters.

[@henryglennon3864]

@@AussieBIMGuru Shame. Otherwise this was a very fine rundown of features that have already been in ArchiCad for 10 years. Thanks.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Haha yes some of these things are in ArchiCAD for a long time I know. I think the thing still missing from ArchiCAD that they should focus on now is engineers (I hear from so few of them actually using it), and a non-gdl family editor (paramo was a nice try though) - Revit got this feature VERY right in my opinion. Once they solve these two things, I think they can more viably entice users away from Revit. They need to hire a new marketing team too, the current one seems quite weak vs the autodesk one.

[@pavillon9365]

24:18​ View filtering by phase. Why not simply use Phases>Graphic Overrides?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

A few potential use cases, such as filtering multiple phases without hiding, more easily auditing phased models visually and using different phasing graphics depending on element types. It should be used in addition to phase filters vs in place of however.

[@pavillon9365]

​@@AussieBIMGuru Correct, but I think that issues in "Double Overrides" might occur. Phasing is still minefield and if you give User/Modeller possibility to filter by Phase, a Manager can be easly confused wich Overrides is actually used (If Phase Filter , or Visual Graphic Filter). That is Ofc my personal opinion.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@pavillon9365 any system is a minefield in the wrong hands in revit. I agree it needs to be used intentionally and with care. It will certainly help residential clients meet some town planning graphics revit cant achieve with phasing alone for sure though

[@eng-mohammedbabiker2165]

Excuse me I need to link to export from revit 2022 to ETABS Thanks

Where can I found heating and cooling calculation

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Typically these can be set up under the mechanical and analysis tabs. You may need to enable the tabs in your settings in order to see them if you are using Revit architecture.

[@dharsanaqua9539]

[@yeqianshi7671]

LOL IT TOOK THEM this long to get the revision sorted out. in the past the stupid multi billion dollar company I worked for had to use dynamo to try and get around this issue. it was a mess.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yep dynamo and shared parameter solutions were such a pain to manage. Good to have it at last but my gosh it took a while!

[@syedmalik8424]

Hi

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Hi Syed! Thanks for coming to the live chat before :)

[@kaiserw3177]

The best thing Autodesk can do is stop with the forced upgrades. Just go the Creative Cloud model and release fixes and bugs every few months.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

It would be the ideal model for the customers, that's for sure. I get the feeling they prefer to be able to ignore updates for a majority of the year though, then just focus on them all closer to each release.
