New Features in Revit 2025

Below are a select number of new features in Revit 2025 that the BIMsmith Team has identified as notable. If you have any thoughts on features we should cover, let us know in the comments!

New Revit Home (New Feature)

Revit 2025 incorporates a new version of the Revit Home with access to your cloud data. The new Home experience brings a consistent, modern, and easier-to-use homepage that provides a more seamless method of finding models and versions to speed up your workflow.

Sheet Collections (New Feature)

Sheet Collections is a new feature that adds functionality to assign any sheet in the model into groups called Sheet Collections. This supports custom sheet organization that can be referenced across Revit (including views, schedules, and filters). 

Rules for sheets are still the same as always: Each sheet still exists in one location; either inside a specific sheet collection or directly in the model.

Every sheet now has a new parameter - Sheet Collection - which lists the collections in the model. Changing the value for one or more sheets moves them into that sheet collection (or removes them if set to <None>).

Sheet Collections can be predefined for placeholder sheets using a Sheet List schedule. When converting a placeholder sheet later, it will automatically move into the preassigned Sheet Collection.

Small Linear Array in Family Editor  (Enhancement)

You can now create small linear arrays that can go down to 1 and even 0 in the Revit Family Editor.

Align and Distribute Text Tags and Keynotes (Enhancement)

This one is another enhancement for project organization and neatness. Similar to many productivity tools, Revit now has a align and distribute functions that can automatically clean up the arrangement text elements evenly.

Revit 2025 includes a new method of handling wall wrapping. When you select a wall ends in a wrap, there’s a new icon that allows you to toggle wrapping On/Off. (To use this feature, you do need to have wrapping enabled in the Properties box.)

Excavate on Toposolid (New Feature)

Revit 2024 introduced Topo Solids as a new system family. In Revit 2025, there are a few new tools connected to Topo Solids, including an Excavate tool that can be used to cut out sections of topography from your model. After selecting your excavations, Revit now can calculate excavation volume by element based on your topo solid.

Simplify Toposolid (New Feature)

In addition to the Excavate tool, Revit 2025 includes a Simplify Toposolid tool. When using the tool, Revit will tell you how many internal points define the toposolid and you can adjust that number of points by percentage (e.g. 80%) to reduce the total points and simplify the toposolid geometry. 

Model by Face Toposolid (New Feature)

In addition to the other Toposolid tools in Revit 2025, we also now have a way to add a “Toposolid by Face” tool to select a face of a mass to create a toposolid. 

Smooth Toposolids (New Feature)

The Toposolids feature introduced in Revit 2024 is improved in Revit 2025 with a “Toposolid Smooth Shading” feature that smooths the toposolid linework when it’s not needed in certain views. 

Material Thumbnail Generator Improvement (Enhancement)

A new rendering engine dramatically improves the generation of material thumbnails in the material browser. There's a new setting to switch between the new and old rendering options for quick rendering vs. production quality.

Remember Type Properties Dialog Grid Divider Setting (Enhancement)

If you didn't like the width of the column dividers in the Type Properties box, previously you needed to adjust them each time you opened the box. Now, Revit will remember the width that you've set anytime you reopen the Properties dialog on your computer.

Batch Delete and Add to Library for Materials (New Feature)

Previously, it was only possible to adjust materials in the Material Browser one at a time. Now, we have a new batch feature where the user can select multiple materials, and then either delete multiple materials at once or add multiple materials to a library.

Alphanumeric Sorting in Properties and Type Properties (Enhancement)

In older versions of Revit, it was not possible to override the default parameter order in the properties and type properties dialogs. Now, you can override this default to make parameters easier to find quickly by alphabetical order.

Room Perimeter Accuracy Improvement (Enhancement)

When a room has inner loops, the old Revit Room Perimeter calculation was not exactly accurate because it didn't include the inner loop boundaries. Now it does, which makes these calculations more exact.
