Revit 2012  

 Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to get a feel for the anticipation of the Revit 2012 release!  If Autodesk lives up to previous years, we should see the new Revit 2012 hit the streets around mid to end of April.

Is there anyone out there willing to comment on the adoption of the new versions or what they might be waiting on to really use Revit on a regular basis if you aren't already?  Would love to hear some dialogue from everyone!

I would like Autodesk to stop tinkering around the edges and tackle the elephant in the room, multi-threading. I suspect everyone is using a multi core processor or multiple processors. I have a 6 core processor running at 4GHz but Revit only utilises 17% of my processing capacity. With the unclocked ceiling processor speed of 3.4GHz on 32nm silicon the only route to more speed is multi core. To utilise our investment in technology we need 64bit multi threaded software. If Autodesk cannot provide it they will drop the ball.

I agree with GoBerre and wish Autodesk fixes their shortcomings.  Their memory management is attrocious and ungracefully crashes machines left and right.  Their use of virtual memory is non existent.  Granted that they do want everyone to go to 64 bit OS etc but there is a ecosystem that needs to catch up.

Programming practices are not good and developers of Revit are more of basement developer wannabes than true developers with proper error management and memory management practices instead of ad hoc generations of crashes and instability to host machines.
