This year follows a similar theme to Revit 2021 with a focus on improving the steel modelling workflows and continuing to build on the reinforcement

tools. However, there is a really strong set of platform tools this year which I genuinely think that many will find useful and use on a day-to-day basis.

This is significant and highlights that Autodesk are starting to improve the core tools which, of course, will benefit many industry sectors. Let us

start by looking at some of these core improvements.

New Platform Features

You can now create tapered walls which are useful when working with retaining structures. You can set both an interior and exterior angle for the wall

which will remain consistent when walls have different heights and levels. In the example below, a retaining wall has been modelled and reinforced

for a carpark.

A few years back, Autodesk added 3D levels that could be seen and edited in the 3D model. This was a very welcome addition but what we really

needed was 3D grids. They have now arrived with Revit 2022! They have a very similar look and feel as the levels and can be edited in the 3D view.

This is great when you need to extend grids in the vertical plane, previously you would need to do this in a section or elevation. This is even more

useful when you need to extend curved or skewed grids.

When creating schedules, you can use filters to reduce the number of parameters that you have to scroll through, this is very significant and

streamlines the process of creating schedules as more and more shared parameters are added to families.
