Revit 2011 First Impressions?  

Okay, so now that Revit 2011 has been out for a few weeks, what are your first impressions?

I think the user interface is much better...less moving around of all the tools on the Ribbon.

I love the new docked instanced properties pallete.  I have been able to move my Project Browser and my Instance Properties Box to my second screen, and it's really nice.

Some of the new tools, like the ability to activate a move or copy command before selecting the object is really nice too, and I have been able to utilize the Select all instances in view tool as well, which is really a great addition to our Revit toolset.

I have messed around with the new Sun Diagram/Position, and that's really a neat tool for visualizing Solar Path and shadows.

I still think the New Realistic Visual Style is a bit slow, but the Ambient Occlusion setting in Revit is really sweet looking.  Has anyone messed with this?

I haven't gotten to mess with Adaptive components yet, but they look very promising.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the new features in Revit 2011!

Well, another thing I am really impressed with is the speed enhancements on opening files and reloading linked files...since it is multithreaded (a portion of it at least), I have noticed substantial performance increases when opening files, particularly some of my large files.  I think in my case, file open speeds are probably 25-35 percent faster with Revit 2011 than they were with Revit 2010!
