Welcome to Revit 2021. If you have been using the software for a while you will likely find moments of excitement with some of the new features (yay slanted walls!) while disappointment for a lack of others (search a hashtag or two on Twitter for some good grumbles). There's a lot of what one would call minor tweaks, and I would say overall this is a good thing. Sure, there's a lot Revit could do great, but it's been doing a lot good for at least a decade, and until there's a significant shift in the industry it’s still the most relevant BIM software out there.
In this post we are going to focus on Architecture specific features because that is the expertise of STEREO. We are also going to avoid diving into the new Generative Design features or Dynamo 2.5, as those things really require an in-depth exploration we will go into in later posts. So let’s look now at the features that are going to affect the way you work in Revit on a daily basis.
