Repost: Revit Architecture 2012 New Features (Source Link)  

 Well, again, David Light has posted a great summary of Revit 2012 Platform level new features.  Mind you, there are still a ton of MEP and structural features and enchancements not listed below (Honestly, I was a pretty dissappointed during alpha/beta testing as to the amount of new features for the architectural platform).  

I have resposted the first section of Mr. Light's blog below, but check out the source link for David's detailed analysis of the new features, screenshots and all!


Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012

 

img_introduction
Today Autodesk announced details of the 2012 AEC portfolio and once again this is my yearly roundup / review of the Autodesk Revit Architecture product. Similar to last year, the alpha for this release started particular early, so those involved in this feedback process got a good insight into what was being proposed. In fact when I visited Autodesk last year I go an early preview of some of the work that was taking place. I was fortunate enough to sit in on one of the development meetings where the concept scoping document was being discussed on a particular feature in this release. This was extremely enlightening; my overall opinion was that it was very similar to how the AEC industry works. In our case, we are the clients, we decide what we want and propose this to the researchers (the architect), the researchers then work with the developers (the contractor) to see how best to actually build the design. It is the architect as well as the contractor’s responsibilities to work within the budget constraints and to deliver the product on time. Fair enough, this is a simplistic view on the situation and it is probably not as black and white as what I have described, as there are many factors that could and will disrupt the development process.

So back to the Revit Architecture 2012; I will just be covering the Architectural and major platform enhancements and features; I am sure others will do a better technical review of Structure and MEP improvements than I will do.

So the key highlights include:-

  • Revit Server
  • Citrix Ready Release
  • Autodesk Vault Collaboration AEC
  • Linking Improvements
  • Work Sharing
  • Improved DWG export fidelity
  • Visualisation Enhancements
  • 3d Tagging
  • Modelling Enhancements
  • UI tweaks and adjustments
  • Performance
  • Construction Modelling
  • Massing enhancements
  • Materials
  • Point Cloud Support
  • IFC
