Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 is coming around the corner. Last Friday, Autodesk held a web-cast announcing the new 2010 Revit products and showing some of the enhancements that are coming. I am pretty excited to see the new product.
What’s New
- Conceptual Design Enhancements
- New and innovative conceptual design features provide easier-to-use tools for freeform
modeling and parametric design, and the ability to support the earliest design
analyses. - Sketch freely, create 3D forms more quickly and manipulate forms interactively.
- Prepare models for fabrication and construction with built-in tools for conception and
clarification of complex forms. New tools to divide, pattern and panelize designs make
forms more buildable. - Autodesk Revit Architecture automatically builds a parametric framework around your
most complex forms as you continue to design, offering you greater levels of creative
control, accuracy and flexibility. - Users can now take designs from concept model all the way to construction
documents within one intuitive environment and user interface.
- New and innovative conceptual design features provide easier-to-use tools for freeform
- New streamlined user interface helps users find favorite tools and commands faster,
locate lesser-used tools more efficiently and discover new features more easily. - Customizable Quick Access Toolbar allows one-click access to a user’s favorite and
most frequently used tools. - The ribbon feature is organized around the way designers work, enabling users to find
the tools to accomplish tasks without searching all over the user interface. - Consistent user interfaces between most Autodesk software applications allows users
to move between programs more smoothly.
- New native 64-bit support enhances the software’s ability to handle large projects and
improve performance and stability for memory-intensive tasks such as rendering,
printing, model upgrading and file importing and exporting. - Expanded API (application programming interface) support.
- Export to AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software and import from Autodesk® Inventor® , while
preserving parametric data. - gbXML (green building XML) improvements allow users to help streamline the
collaboration process with external analysis applications.
I don't know about the rest of you, but these are things that I have been waiting for in Revit for a while. The native 64 bit support for greater abilty to handle memory usage and large projects, a new user interface, and the conceptual design environment all look to be great additions.

The new streamlined user interface optimizes workflow and
increases discoverability of new tools.
New conceptual design features allow you to sketch freely, create 3D models quickly, and take your
design from concept to construction documentation all in one environment.
New conceptual design features help you to prepare models for fabrication and construction with builtin
tools for dividing, patterning and panelizing complex forms.

Harlan, the question EVREYONE has been asking is: How to turn off the ribbons ? A bad sign.
What is your comment on this ?
