What kinds of usability enhancements have been made to
the latest version of Revit?
Revit, which has been proved a highly successful Autodesk creation, is used worldwide by
design and construction professionals for developing high-end building design that appropriately
matches owners’ expectations. The major strength of this software is that it is really convenient
to handle, which leads to the fast progress of the project. Its user friendly features and tools
empower AEC professionals in accomplishing their task quickly. Autodesk has always been very
keen in simplifying and enhancing the usability of this software and the latest version of Revit
allow its users to perform their work in a much better way.
Usability improvements in Revit 2015
• If in case users had to trim an item using Revit 2014, they had to specifically select that
item for trimming. Though the multiple Trim/Extend tool was utilized by users for this
purpose but they still had to deal individually with an item for making adjustments to it in
terms of trimming it.
• But a totally new mechanism has been included in Revit 2015 for doing this task, wherein
multiple elements can be selected with the assistance of a window which require
trimming.
• When it comes to referring 2D details, Revit 2015 greatly helps its users with this by
allowing them to use section and elevation tools and this was not that convenient in the
previous versions of Revit.
• Apart from this improvements have also been made in the implementation of Revision
clouds.
• With Revit 2015, defining boundary of revision clouds have become very convenient as
users can optimize a variety of drawing tools for this purpose which include arcs,
polygons, lines and rectangles etc.
• When it comes to tagging elements in Revit projects, variety of improvements have been
made in Revit’s features regarding this. Earlier it was quite difficult to handle their
movement on sheets but with the assistance of Revit 2015, behavior related to tagging
can be effectively managed by users.
• Revit 2014 included a double click option for activating a view, for providing
convenience to users while working on sheets. Now Revit 2015 includes a double click
option for deactivating the view.
All the above mentioned improvements in usability provide huge convenience to users.
