Shared Views
Collaborate with team members who do not have Revit by sharing 3D views of your model securely in the cloud. You create shared views and then share the link with team members. Add comments and replies directly to the shared view.
Reset Shared Coordinates
With this feature, reset shared coordinate relationships between linked models with one command. Shared coordinate relationships in the host model are reset and the survey point is moved back to the internal origin of the model. This makes it easier to re-establish positioning relationships between linked models.
Export STL
You no longer need to install an add-on to export STL files. Export STL files directly from Revit for use in 3D printing your models.
Quickly Identify the Rebar Host
You can now more easily identify the host for one or more selected rebar sets, area or path reinforcement. Select a rebar set and click Modify | Structural Rebar tab Host panel (Select Host), to switch the selection from the rebar to its host. Alternately, select one or more rebar, right click and choose Select Host.
Enhanced FormIt Converter
Visual and material fidelity of models converted from FormIt and opened in Revit have been enhanced. Materials from FormIt models display with the correct rotation and scale. Curved elements from FormIt models display closer to the original appearance when opened in Revit.
P&ID Modeler supports Europe data centers
P&ID Modeler for Revit supports Europe data centers. Revit can now connect to Plant 3D Collaboration projects on Europe data centers.
New in Generative Design Release 21.7.14 - July 2020
- Drop-down nodes as study inputs. When creating a new study using Dynamo for Revit, you can use drop-down nodes as study inputs. After exporting a study with a drop-down input, select that study in Generative Design in Revit. In the first section of the Define Study dialog, a drop-down list shows options specific to your Revit model. For example, instead of selecting a family instance from the model (such as a desk for the Workspace Layout study), you can select the desired family type from a list. This feature simplifies and streamlines the process of defining a study. To reflect this change, in the Define Study dialog, the heading "Select in model" is now "Select".
- Renamed tags in Dynamo graphs: In a graph, Dynamo displays a "Renamed" tag for any input nodes or output nodes that were renamed. In graphs for Generative Design, the input and output nodes are typically renamed, so you may notice these tags in the graphs. This is due to a new feature of Dynamo.
- For a case study that uses generative design for a restaurant layout that follows physical distancing guidelines.
Issues resolved
- You can launch the Explore Outcomes dialog at any combination of scaling settings and screen resolution.
- On the Explore Outcomes dialog, the Delete option is available only when a study is completed or paused. Delete is not available when a study is running
- On the Explore Outcomes dialog, the parallel coordinates chart renders the data correctly for studies that have the same value for every outcome in the final axis.
Known issues
- If the name of a Dynamo graph contains an apostrophe (a single quotation mark), the graph does not produce outcomes correctly in Generative Design. To avoid the issue, omit this character from the graph name.
Create an Alignment from InfraWorks Data (What's New in 2021.1)
Civil Structures can be exported to Revit from a future version of InfraWorks using the Export Civil Structures workflow. In Revit, under the Add-Ins toolbar, select Import Civil Structures. Once the bridge model has been loaded in Revit, the Alignment can be displayed and labeled in both 2D and 3D views. Annotation Stations and Station Sets can then be added to the alignment.
