![]() As you can imagine, it got a healthy discussion going, some comments less helpful than others. The idea gathered 260 votes and by the forums standards, that is very high. So it was no surprise then when it was posted on the Revit Ideas Forum by a user titled "Save as Previous Version". Even seasoned users express frustration with the complications that come with making sure everyone (including consultants) are on the same version. Obviously, after enjoying the days of AutoCAD, (that could be rolled back 10 versions) moving to Revit with NO backwards compatibility what-so-ever, can be a shock to the system for first time users. ![]() The question most often answered with a cynical response "Autodesk do it, so we are forced to upgrade". Unfortunately, at this point, there are more ideas being assigned as 'archived' than any other status.Īhh, the million dollar question. So wouldn't access to the type properties of profiles, which are within so many Revit components, be the next logical improvement? ![]() Not even marked as future consideration? I don't get it, Autodesk just gave us a subtle improvement to stairs in Revit 2017.1, and you can now access the properties of the top rail via the stair type properties. This idea relating to materials and wall sweeps, which has been complained about since 2009 (as far as I could find) has been culled and more surprisingly this idea relating to edit profiles via the type properties has also been binned. Although, that being said, some ideas I have supported, also recently got put in the "blackhole bin" (aka archvied). It was good to begin with, as major problems users have been complaining about for years were generally posted first and got the votes they needed to put Autodesk into action (for some anyway). The Revit Ideas forum has slowly grown out of control. If you are interested, a few months ago I gathered many of Revit ideas into one location so I could keep better track of them.
