New PDF Export Features

Revit 2022 allows exporting 2D views and drawings directly as PDF files. You can export individual files or merge multiple views and drawings into a single PDF. Batch exporting supports custom naming conventions based on selected view and drawing parameters, which can be saved for future use.

Wall Enhancements

The wall tools now include the ability to create tapered (conical) wall elements with variable width layers. Users can define cone angles in the wall type properties, with positive angles tilting the top edge inward and negative angles outward. Measurement locations for wall width can be set to the top, bottom, or foundation level.

Non-core wall layers can be hidden in plan views using ‘Visibility and Shape Overrides,’ showing only the core wall components. However, in coarse detail views, non-core layers remain visible.

Shared Parameters in Keyword Schedules

Shared parameters can now be used in keyword schedules to fill and modify element properties efficiently. When creating keyword schedules for categories, shared instance parameters are available as fields, enabling control over family geometry visibility and behavior through keywords.

Applying keywords to graphic elements makes specified properties read-only, with visual indicators showing matching or non-matching parameter values. Null or empty values are handled differently based on parameter types, retaining or defaulting values accordingly.

Resetting keywords retains the last assigned parameter values for most categories, except for certain system categories like HVAC and electrical components.

Improved FormIt Integration

FormIt, a conceptual modeling tool, now offers enhanced interoperability with Revit. Models created in FormIt can be imported into Revit for further refinement without data loss. The shared geometry between both applications has been updated for consistent appearance.

Users can launch FormIt’s 3D Sketch tool directly within Revit, using Revit model geometry as context for conceptual modeling.

Linking Rhinoceros® (3DM) Files

Revit 2022 supports linking and importing 3DM files, enabling seamless workflows with Rhino. Linked files can be updated and reloaded into Revit models, maintaining synchronization between applications.

Multi-Lead Tagging

Multi-leader tags allow users to tag multiple elements of the same category with a single tag. The main element is added to the tag, with leads pointing to each referenced object. Tags also display the count of referenced elements.

Rotating Tags

Tags can now be rotated using the ‘Angle’ parameter in their properties. Multiple tags can be selected and rotated by the same angle value for consistent alignment.

Multi-Value Display

When selecting multiple elements, properties shared across all selected elements are shown. If parameter values differ, instead of showing no value, Revit 2022 displays a special indicator like mutable or a custom string. This behavior applies consistently in the Properties palette, schedules, and tags.

Steel Reinforcement Enhancements

The new “Edit Reinforcement” command allows isolating selected rebar sets or systems, enabling moving, deleting, or resetting individual bars to avoid clashes while preserving system integrity. Multiple reinforcement sets can be edited simultaneously.

Additionally, steel bars can be placed by defining a bounding box with two points, specifying size and direction for single straight bars. This new placement method enhances speed and accuracy.

Modeling steel bars using actual diameters helps detect collisions in dense reinforcement scenarios, particularly with large-diameter bars.

Software Features

• OR Conditions in Filters: Create view filters combining multiple rules with nested AND/OR conditions.
• 3D Elevation Display: Show elevation markers in 3D views for better spatial understanding.
• Double Fill Patterns: Apply foreground and background fill patterns to cropped views or surfaces for clearer design intent.
• Uncut Perspective Views: Use full-screen, uncut-through views with free navigation.
• Custom Steel Connections: Design detailed steel structure connections with specialized tools.
• Multi-Monitor Support: Organize workspace across multiple displays with dockable and tiled views.
• Steel Structure Documentation: Generate precise engineering documents for steel structures, including connections.
• Complex Pipeline Network Analysis: Enhanced pressure drop and cycle system separation analysis.
• Rebar Shape Matching: Match or create rebar shape families based on free-form geometry.

Additional Features

Revit 2022 supports exporting 2D views and drawings as PDF files individually or merged, with customizable naming rules.

Conical Wall Drawing: Variable width walls (tapered/conical) can be created by defining cone angles and selecting measurement locations (top, bottom, foundation). This flexibility enables creative wall designs beyond traditional applications.

Keyword Lists: Facilitates batch input and control of family parameters through shared parameters and keyword schedules. Users create shared parameters within families, then generate keyword schedules in the project to automate parameter assignments.

Steps include creating schedules named as keys, adding parameters for batch control, and entering values for each key type to quickly assign them across the project.

This feature streamlines parameter management, resembling Excel-based batch editing but fully integrated into Revit.

Enhanced Collaboration with FormIt: FormIt offers rapid conceptual modeling with improved data consistency when imported into Revit. Although it doesn’t yet replace massing tools, it provides an efficient method for early design phases.

Rhino Integration: Users can link or import 3DM files into Revit, making Rhino-Revit workflows more seamless. Linked models update dynamically when the Rhino file changes.

Tagging, Annotation, and Revision Improvements

• Multi-Leader Tagging: Add tags referencing multiple elements. Tags display parameter values and allow editing to show counts.
• Multi-Category Tagging: Supports tagging all taggable elements, showing common and shared parameters.
• Batch Rotation of Markers: Rotate markers collectively by setting the “Angle” parameter.
• Multi-Value Parameter Display: Different values for selected elements show custom strings indicating variability.
• Curtain Wall Column Tagging: Now supports tagging vertical columns.
• Dimension Tag Prefixes and Suffixes: Type parameters now support automatic prefix and suffix addition to dimension annotations.
• Slope Annotation on Elements: Elevation point slope annotations can now be placed directly on slope elements.
• Custom Revision Numbering: Create custom revision sequences with adjustable digit counts and transfer standards between projects.

Reinforcement Function Enhancements

New commands isolate rebar sets or systems for editing, enabling users to move or delete bars to avoid conflicts while preserving system logic.

The “Two Point Placement” command allows specifying bounding box points to place single or sets of reinforcement, with size and direction controls for straight bars.

Steel bars can now be modeled using their actual diameters, improving clash detection for dense reinforcements.

System Analysis Load Report

Selecting “HVAC System Load and Size Adjustment” generates a detailed review report covering load, humidity, and mechanical system sizing information, useful for presentations and project documentation.

New Personnel Mobility Analysis

Enhancements to the path analysis tool include multiple route creation, unidirectional indicators, character content to indicate space occupancy or block paths, and spatial grid overlays for room distance visualization.

The new “Personnel Flow Toolkit” integrates these features for improved route and occupancy analysis.

Share 2D Views

Previously limited to 3D view sharing, Revit 2022 introduces “Share View” for 2D views. Shared views can receive comments and replies, facilitating remote collaboration. This cloud-based feature enhances team communication.

Steel Structure Updates

Users can now customize steel connection types and connection rules based on steel profile properties, grades, and end forces. Rules can be merged into a connection library, or Dynamo scripts used for automatic placement. This is particularly valuable for detailed steel structure modeling.

Detailed List Function Improvements

• Split Detail Tables Across Drawings: Long detail tables can now be split and placed across multiple drawings, no longer restricted to a single sheet.
• Support for CSV export of detail lists.
• Automatic shading in panel schedules based on configuration.
• Added “Workset” parameter for project management in multi-user environments.
• Enhanced family filtering in schedules for better parameter-based extraction.
• New filtering criteria in detail tables, including parameter names and types.
• Additional system categories available in multi-category schedules.

Enhanced Plane and Reference Plane Import

Imported 3DM and SAT files containing reference planes now include those planes in Revit, allowing dimensioning, snapping, and alignment to the imported geometry for precise placement.

3D View Mesh Function

Within 3D view properties, users can enable and edit display grids to visualize and modify the model grid directly in the 3D view.

PRC Functionality Enhancements

Revit 2022 adds 28 new characters, vehicles, and furniture items to improve realistic 3D views. It also simplifies representations in non-rendered views for better performance, supports color-changing parameters for vehicles, and enhances rendered appearances for furniture categories.

New Model Categories

Eight new model categories can now be sliced and tagged, including food cooking equipment, medical devices, fire protection systems, vertical circulation, audio-visual equipment, signage, hard structures, and temporary structures. Infrastructure categories such as roads and bridge components are now supported, marking Revit’s growing role in infrastructure modeling.

Derivative Design

Derivative design introduces a new human-computer interaction approach. Instead of manually drafting solutions, designers define parameters and goals, and the computer generates and iteratively optimizes design alternatives to meet those goals.

This feature is integrated into Revit’s “Derivative Design” panel under the “Management” tab. It simplifies complex layout challenges, such as optimizing restaurant seating arrangements for comfort and capacity by adjusting grid spacing and family placements.

Users can review alternative solutions, evaluate them, and select the optimal design.

After layout completion, travel path analysis can be applied to assess space traffic flow.

The input section separates variables and constants, clarifying which values change during optimization. Dynamo integration allows the creation of complex analysis models.

Overall, derivative design adds a powerful design assistant to Revit, enabling innovative workflows worth exploring.
