Now maybe in the next version they can let us customise all the colours, like grip colours, instead of choosing dark blue for us, which makes it difficult to see in a black background.
Dark mode should have been there 15 years ago. These coders who work on the revit software all have been coding in dark mode forever and they all recognize the eye strain of a bright background.
Fantastic update compared to hohum iterations the past few years. Great job Autodesk! Only gripe is the building pad issue... That needs to be re added immediately.
When you make a toposurface in Revit 2023 you are actually making a spline through the points of the topo. You are getting a smooth looking surface unless you have triangulation on in visibility. If you add points to a shape edited floor, then you get a surface with sharp edges not resembling topography at all(even with interior edges or folding lines turned off.). So how is a toposolid different from a shape edited floor?
Creating topography was hell, this was a major update, who on earth decided to remove building pad and replace in with massing void. All other updates are very much welcome. I really liked the updates regarding the schedules
I think building pads should have stayed and renamed to smth like building footprint with a type parameter to choose whether to have the actual pad or not, it might even use a floor type right away like a stacked wall uses other wall types. Now the user should repeat the line to have the actual pad set. It should even have the ability to be controled by points like floors do. Combining couple of workflows could create an intuitive solution. Massing tools should have stayed for mass model creation. What do you think?
so basically the "greatest" feature of this version was the toposurface which is basically the same stuff I was doing with a floor. Super happy to get rid of autodesk and bough a vectorworks licence.
Finally a black theme, but can we customise the grips etc to our own colours? As blue in black isn't very visible. Also, is there a shortcut to switch the canvas?
THIS FEATURE IS GREAT, HOWEVER, I THINK AUTODESK NEEDS TO UPGRADE THE ROOF, AND ROOF FRAMING TOOLS BY MAKING IT A MORE AUTOMATIABLE.. ESPECIALLY THE WOOD TRUSTS AND WOOD COPING . THANKS..
@@bimpure YEAH, I AM AWARE OF THAT; WHAT I MEAN IS, AUTODESK MAKING IT A DEFAULT FEATURE. NOT A SECOND OR THIRD PARTY PLUGIN.. BESIDES AGACAD ADDINS TO ME ARE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE..
Why can't we copy/monitor beams? Why would we partially copy/monitor the structural system? It's past time for Autodesk to put one more tab (beam) on this tool! There are several complaints on the Forum, but they do not read!
How is a toposolid any more than just a new floor type with it's own menu? Making anything other than flat or nearly flat terrain is going to be impossible if shape editing works just the same as floors do today until v.2023.
subdivision should have negative value because roads / sidewalks have layers below ground level, and also it should have cut option from toposolid as other elements.
I think they should improve the texture elevations,plan easier, and the stair railing,notes on perspective view.This 2024 version does not have many utilities
@@bimpure THANKS FOR THE INFO.. BUT I THINK THE WHOLE ROOFING TOOLS IS REALLY TEDIOUS TO AND TIME CONSUMING.. IF REVIT MUST BE THE BEST TOOL FOR BIM, IT MUST BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THESE KINDA ISSUES..
Toposolid is really going to suck compared to placing points, raising points, aligning points etc like we do now until v. 2023. It is going to be a real nightmare so updating to v.2024 is not an option.
@@bimpure I know i could not do my terrain-models(often steep sites because of where my projects are located) with shape editing floors. So how is a toposolid any different from a floor?
I see from the video that you can actually 'pick supports' when you edit your topography!! How incredibly ignit is that?!! Autodesk did not bother making a new topo function or enhance the existing tool. They simply changed the graphic interface a bit so that you now can make a floor instead called a toposolid from a different tab/menu. Its a scam. Dont update.
Still no 3d walls? Maybe in 10 years. Topo solids are just slabs with contours. With the subscription model, they cut down on development and just increase the profits. I don't think with perpetual licenses anyone would pay for this update. Disappointed.
@@TheRevitKid They are working on a new feature to make each layer of a wall fully editable independently in 3D. Like the parts tool, but that actually works and isn't annoying to use ;) This is mentioned in the roadmap: blogs.autodesk.com/revit/roadmap/
@@TheRevitKid Environment Plugin is much better than toposolids. And it uses slabs for topography. Nothing new from my point of view. Even the contours on top of toposolids are ugly because there's no smoothing parameter like in civil 3d. On the other side modelling complex walls eg plaster-insullation- brick- plaster, join them with floors, also multilayered, is a nightmare. I have tried many solutions, the only working, which is 100% manual, and need rework in every update is to model each layer as a separate wall, with auto join off, and manually join and switch join order as needed. As I said 100% manual solution, and a nightmare if you want to model everything, eg plaster on beams, plaster in openings etc. I think archicad has materia strength which prioritize the join behavior for many years. You just can't go easily in level of detail more than 3 with Revit.
All the skills we developed and spent hours and hours learning these things to use Massing and site tools over the years are obsolete now! Better to Go back to classic Hand Drafting...Give up everchanging software!

Yeah, massing tools are not user friendly

Just got the hang of 2023, Not sure about removing the building pad feature
Creating topography was hell, this was a major update, who on earth decided to remove building pad and replace in with massing void. All other updates are very much welcome. I really liked the updates regarding the schedules
Building pads were not perfect, but they were relatively simple to use. Massing voids are harsh for beginners
Although it's a welcome addition for advanced site modeling!
I think building pads should have stayed and renamed to smth like building footprint with a type parameter to choose whether to have the actual pad or not, it might even use a floor type right away like a stacked wall uses other wall types. Now the user should repeat the line to have the actual pad set. It should even have the ability to be controled by points like floors do.

What do you think?
Excellent work Nick! keep it up the awesome Pure vids
Do you have any comments or showcase of the Structure and MEP features?
Thanks for the video, how did u remove the scope box and the section box or crop view in your 3D. Can u please show me
when using the Multi metric discipline template, how do you create new levels which should also show on other discipline?
Does the toposolid allow placing points above each other?
Loving these new topo tools.
Thanks, where dp we download content library ?
Dark theme. Finally!!!
at the expense of the white scheme which looks washed out now.

Omg I could not wait for the resizable dialogue windows
Did it note a separate video for Revit Structural for 2024. I can find that link
Sorry, we are not structure expert, but you can use Autodesk notes about it.
Finally a black theme, but can we customise the grips etc to our own colours? As blue in black isn't very visible.
Also, is there a shortcut to switch the canvas?
You can already switch the grips, selcetions and background colours in File -Options-Graphics ☑
CA is the out of the box keyboard shortcut to switch the canvas from light to dark
Can you make holes in toposolid just using its sketch? And can toposolid be joined with floors/walls?
Yep, you can.
Please sir I have two issues with the rvt 2024. I have just one wall type generic 200mm.and also no families
THIS FEATURE IS GREAT, HOWEVER, I THINK AUTODESK NEEDS TO UPGRADE THE ROOF, AND ROOF FRAMING TOOLS BY MAKING IT A MORE AUTOMATIABLE.. ESPECIALLY THE WOOD TRUSTS AND WOOD COPING . THANKS..
There are plugins for automated wall & roof framing, such as AGACAD and MWF.

Thank you

At last Autodesk started listening us... Hard to believe...

I agree, negative offset feature would be nice. I will use multiple type of toposolid for now since it is splitable.
when is the release date?
Should be available already! Maybe not in certain parts of the world?
Dark mode ribbon and toolbars please!
🖤
I hope that now since we have toposolids, they can host patterns compared to toposurfaces
Yes they can
I think they should improve the texture elevations,plan easier, and the stair railing,notes on perspective view.This 2024 version does not have many utilities
New site tools are interesting!

Better topo editing tools?
yes
Kindly Drop the link for download, please…. Revit 2024 is out but Autodesk still didn’t bother to make provision for Revit for mac osx
maybe it's very hard to port it to Mac
@@kimcyrusm8995 they just don't really care

So... still can not reference a Civil 3D surface?
Civil 3D topos are converted to toposolids
Good News
indeed
Is (save as an older version of revit ) available?
No, check out Speckle for this kind of black magic
@@bimpure thanks
Just out of interest why would you ever want to save a model down to an older version?
