I know, seems like it wasn’t that long ago we were talking about the “new hotness” of Revit 2023. Well, Autodesk Revit 2024 is already here. And while 2023 certainly is not “old & busted,” 2024 is already making waves in the community for some of the cool, new features is has to show off. So, let’s dig in, shall we? And take a look into the latest features of Revit 2024!

Embrace the Dark Side!

Differences shown between light and dark themes

One of my favorite features is the option to use a light or dark theme. Not that this idea is new to the world, but it’s certainly a welcome addition to Revit. If you deal with eye strain at all (and I know we all do) then you will appreciate this small addition. You gotta admit, it just looks cooler:

Clearly, they have tried to make the whole thing look more modern. I, for one, appreciate this type of a change.

 

Site Tools for Revit & Revit LT

This new toolset supports the design and documentation of richly detailed landscapes. You can use Site Tools to:

  • Collect and rationalize existing conditions data from CAD Imports, CSV point files, and more.
  • Model your design intent freely and easily, with versatile site and massing tools for modeling topography.
  • Populate schedules, sheets, and views and calculate material quantities. Cut, fill, join, and run phasing scenarios. Use the design-to-documentation engine of Revit to save time and improve design quality when modeling landscape and site conditions.

 

Save time in concrete detailing

Structural engineers and rebar detailers have new capabilities for creating, scheduling, and documenting rebar. Use the new bar bending details to:

  • Create reinforcement drawings and schedules with detailed fabrication instructions. With this new tool in Revit, when the model changes, the details adapt along with it.
  • Add and customize rebar bending details so that your views and sheets respect your typical practice.
  • Reduce errors and omissions in your document sets.

 

Evolve work together

Link Coordination Model from Autodesk Docs into Revit makes it easier for project teams to sync and coordinate design deliverables. Keep project files light and teams on the same page.

  • Link models and views from any of the 60+ formats supported by Docs and the Autodesk Construction Cloud directly into Revit.
  • Underlay the coordination model as visual reference when designing in Revit.
  • Reduce the need for interpretation when coordinating up-to-date design deliverables with partners and project teams.
