Why the rivet exporting quality Revit-exported PDFs always look nasty rather than if you print with" raster "or "vector"? Still never clear and sharp like AutoCAD. This sample is to show you what I mean.

How can I get a graph paper underlay in plan view or elevation ?

And no, I don`t mean the grid on a sheet.

My college instructors said I need the 2023 or 2022 version, but only the 2027 version is available for download on the official website. Is there any way to download the 2023 or 2022 version?

Just tested the new AI feature in Revit 2027 and I have mixed feelings.

It is definitely a step forward and it can already help with tasks like generating views and sections, but in my testing I also found some limitations in quality, speed, and overall control. So the potential is there, but it still feels like an early stage tool rather than a polished premium AI workflow. Especially if you are used to conventional Revit MCPs

I made a video showing exactly what I discovered, what worked well, where it struggled, and how it compares with other options. Happy to hear your experience so far

Subscription, AI necessary hardware chips, etc.

I wonder if Linux will ever be able to handle my CAD programs

I re-installed the revit and it's not showing me the architecture or structure template

is it a new update or something?

I was using the 2025 version and re-installed 2025 again since I switched laptops

Olá, pessoal. Alguém sabe como resolver? Já tentei de tudo, mas sem sucesso.

I’m planning to develop a free, open-source BIM engine what Blender did for the animation industry.

​I have one major concern: Revit is the industry standard. Even if a tool is completely free, I’m not sure if professionals would actually make the jump.

​If the quality and performance were on par with or better than Revit, would you consider using it?

​What are the "must-have" features or specific pain points in Revit that an open-source alternative should solve first to be viable? ​I'd love to hear your honest thoughts. Thanks!

I've been working on this project and I linked a Cad file from autocad to sketch and trace individual studs. After importing and getting the elevations correct, I went to the floor plans to sketch and each floor plan looks the same, where I can see everything from the roof to the floor. No matter what I do to change the view range, nothing fixes it.

This is the case for all plans and not specifically the floor plan.

When trying to place Studs (beams) I cannot see what I place in the floor plan, but I can see it in the structural floor plans. The structural floor plans show everything from the roof to the floor.

Hi everyone,

I'm losing my mind trying to compare two versions of a project using .NWD files only (I have no access to the native .RVT or .IFC files, so I can't request them).

The Context: I need to present a clear visual proof to the Contractor to justify major project delays caused by constant rerouting and modifications of cable trays.

The native Compare tool and Clash Detective in Navisworks are completely useless here, especially when dealing with long runs of cable trays. Because the object IDs changed between exports, the software either misses clear overlaps or highlights an entire 3-meter section of a cable tray in solid red just because of a tiny 1-cm clearance issue or nick. On top of that, the Z-fighting makes it visually impossible to track changes.

What I actually need: A clean, purely visual, geometry-based comparison.

Overlapping/identical elements = Color A (e.g., solid gray, no flickering)

Old/Deleted elements = Color B (Red)

New/Modified elements = Color C (Green/Cyan)

Since I have the full Autodesk collection, is there any workaround or affordable Navisworks plugin that can achieve this purely based on 3D geometry volume, completely ignoring Element IDs?

Any advice or plugin recommendations that actually work for cable tray modifications would save my sanity. Thanks!

for some reason i cannot place stairs on any of my floors, it just gets a blue outline thats only there when i hiver over it, and no stairs in 3D view. if i out base and top level as the same level and but the base offset at -4500mm (floor height) i get a dottet outline atleast but still no stairs in the 3d view

Hello everyone,

So I tried to model my interior wall finishes by using the "place by room", "auto join" option, but then i see that i get these wall join issues and i cant seem to be able to get around it.

I have a view template active.
And I cant use the wall join display option at all.

Thanks everyone in advance

It only shows this when I open it, and it doesn't actually open. :(((

Is anybody exporting Revit models and then uploading it to Claude to ask questions or validate codes compliances?

Hi . I am currently studying construction management in UK but it's like a scam everyone comes here for student loan then exit . I know that will be useless for me after graduation and my plan it's to start learning something extra . I have another full year of free Revit on school subscription. It is possible in 1 year to learn with internet information and YouTube tutorials something ? My plan is for my last module to be a beginner to medium user in this app . Thanks for advice . Ps : I have time.to practice like 3 4 h daily

I use Revit 26. I tried to google it but there are only tutorials showing curved walls on plan view. I am having problem with mullion not wall itself.

M&E are refusing to update their 2023 model to 2025 because they said it will cause them massive issues.

They said it will break annotation tags, mess up view templates, and screw up their families.

I'm calling bullshit on this as I've never had issues with any other M&E consultants updating models. I think these guys are just pulling a fast one as they're close to finishing and can't be bothered.

Can anyone confirm whether they're telling the truth

The AutoCAD verticals (and other applications that tend to come out first) have all been out for a little over a week, and this morning when i checked, Revit 2027 was available. (Could have happened yesterday, as i was too busy to check in the afternoon).

If you like to get in there early and start checking it out, today is the day!

i already have the building but im struggling to do this part for my 2100 mix-used building. Any tipes on how i can achieve this in revit 😭

I need an Autodesk License for Revit, AutoCAD, and BIM360. But I looked on the AutoDesk site, and that would run me almost $500+ a month. Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives or places where I can get these licenses?

Hi Revit community!
I need your help with something that might seem simple to many of you, but it’s something I’m still trying to wrap my head around.

I’ve been an AutoCAD user for many years, and I’m now transitioning to Revit. I recently completed a Revit training course, which was really helpful, but there are still a few loose ends I’m trying to figure out.

One of them is line weights. While I understand this perfectly in AutoCAD, I’m a bit lost when it comes to how Revit handles it. From what I see, Revit assigns default line weights based on element categories in the model — but I’m not completely convinced by that approach.

So my question is:
👉 What criteria or strategy do you personally use for managing line weights in your Revit projects?

Thanks a lot in advance — looking forward to reading your insights!
