Features
What's new in Revit 2018
New and enhanced Revit features enable consistent, co-ordinated and complete modelling for multi-discipline design that extends to detailing and construction.
-
Co-ordination models
Use a Navisworks file as a lightweight context to work with others on your project. (Video: 1.26 min.)
-
Schedule groups and Revit links
To better understand and quantify your project, create schedules of links and groups in the model. (Video: 1.12 min.)
-
Enhanced
Global parameters
Embed design intent with project-wide parameters that now work with radial and diameter dimensions and equality constraints. (Video: 1.30 min.)
-
Multi-storey stairs
Quickly create and modify multi-storey buildings by connecting stairs to the levels in your project. (Video: 1.21 min.)
-
Enhanced
Railings
You now have more control when creating railings. Includes hosting railings on topography, automatic adjustment to stairs and post placement. (Video: 1.30 min.)
-
Enhanced
MEP Fabrication modelling
Revit lets you model sloped pipe part by part, and use multipoint routing for fabrication elements. (Video: 2.03 min.)
-
Enhanced
MEP design and analysis
Manipulate the circuit pathways, define your own space types and include outdoor air requirements. (Video: 2.08 min.)
-
Enhanced
Mechanical simulation
Flow and pressure-drop data is now connected to the pump and to the computation processes in the background. (Video: 1.49 min.)
-
Rebar for complex geometry
Place rebar in free-form concrete objects. Reinforce imported concrete elements with improved varying rebar distribution. (Video: 1.38 min.)
-
Rebar graphical constraints in 3D
Complete model definitions faster by editing rebar logic in 3D views with in-canvas graphical manipulation.
(Video: 1.04 min.) -
Additional steel connections
More than 100 new connections. Now you can create connections for custom, user-defined families. (Video: 1.59 min.)
-
Enhanced
Collaboration for Revit
Cloud worksharing service now installs with Revit. New sync with central window displays progress of the operation.
