PDF INTO REVIT
You can now insert a PDF in Revit. The PDF will be placed as a 2D object in the current view only, similar to previous image functionality. Full BIM 360 or Connected Desktop support. Able to snap to geometry in the view.
ELLIPTICAL WALLS
This new feature allows you to draw elliptical walls and curtain walls in Revit. The ellipse tool now appears in the draw panel for walls. BehavioUrs around wall joins, openings, and family hosting will function as expected.
PATH OF TRAVEL
The Path of Travel tool is used to determine the shortest distance between two points on a floor plan. This tool analyzes the geometry in the plan and goes around obstacles and through doors to optimize the route.
Publish Cloud Models on Revit home
Cloud Models on Revit Home allows you to more easily navigate to and access your cloud models.
Cloud models for revit update
This feature will extend your cloud collaboration capabilities with inclusivity at every level.
Support for SketchUp 2018 Import and Link
This feature improves upon the import and link functionality for Sketchup files in Revit.
Revit Extension for Fabrication Exports
The Revit Extension for Fabrication Exports allows you to generate data in the commonly used CSV file format, which can then be used in spreadsheets or other data environments that support fabrication and procurement.
improved rebar copy & move logic
Shape driven rebars now snap more intuitively to the concrete cover when you copy or move them.
Multi Rebar Annotation to Concrete Faces
Multi-Rebar Annotations can now be used to dimension the position of rebar sets with respect to the concrete host faces, or to any other dimension reference in Revit.
Multi Rebar Annotation for Free Form Rebar
Multi-Rebar Annotations can now be used to dimension free form rebar sets with planar and parallel bars in any view that is perpendicular to all the bar planes of the bars in the set.
Rebar in Model-in-Place Stairs
Any type of reinforcement including shape driven or free form rebars can be hosted in model-in-place structural elements of the Stairs category.
Steel Connections Propagation
The steel connections propagation feature is very useful when you are working on a large project where the same connection needs to be inserted in multiple locations.
Steel Connections Grouping
The steel connections UI has been migrated to type parameters, making it easier to use and more powerful to configure.
New features for tags and dimensions of steel elements
Existing dimensioning and tagging tools have been extended to help you create more accurate and readable engineering drawings for structural steel.
Electrical Homerun Wiring improvements
Revit 2020 provides more control over the display of home run wiring.
Electrical panel feeds through lug connection
With this improvement, instead of always employing a breaker slot connection, panels can now be connected through feed through lugs.
Improved OR in View Filters
This feature is an improved version of the OR filter functionality already existing in Revit. You are now able to choose a specific category for an OR filter and then choose a specific parameter.
Material Appearance Improvement
This feature describes a series of new appearance assets, which use physically-based definitions. These appearance assets enrich the material library, and will greatly enhance your visualization experience.
Material User Interface Improvements
You can now filter materials by class with a new icon added in the material browser. You can also access the Material Libraries with the new material libraries bar at the bottom of the browser. And you can also select a larger thumbnail view for materials – with a size of 256 x 256 that is easier to view.
Image and PDF improvements
Work faster with image information at your fingertips and make changes to image size and scale with ease.
Tag, schedule and view filter for elevation
With this new feature, you are now able to tag,schedule and utilize view filters for the ‘elevation from level’ parameter associated with a variety of elements and categories commonly used for MEP, such as mechanical, plumbing, lighting, electrical, data, furniture and more.
Track and Edit Scope Box Parameter in View List
With this new feature, the scope box parameter may now be included in a view list.
It is possible to change the scope box by selecting this in the schedule rather than in the view, allowing you to coordinate crop regions across multiple views without having to open each view.
Copy and Paste Legends Across Sheets
With this feature, you can now take a legend view from one sheet, copy to clipboard and paste to other places in a variety of ways. This helpful enhancement allows you to place manually, select views, paste to the current view or cut in paste to the same place.
Create Parts from Imported Geometry
With this new feature you will be able to create parts from DirectShape geometry or Infraworks. You can use this to create or split parts.
InfoCenter Reduction
This feature reduces the InfoCenter to create more space in the view title and removes functionality that is no longer supported or used; We removed what is called the WS Comm Center process and we have collapsed the search bar, however it is possible to still expand this part of the InfoCenter.
Dynamo 2.1 Ships with 2020
Dynamo for Revit, a computational design extension, is now considered a feature of Revit; Dynamo is no longer a separate application. The icon in the upper left corner of the Dynamo user interface now displays a small Revit icon to reflect this update.
Steel Connections for Dynamo
Dynamo for Revit, a computational design extension, is now considered a feature of Revit; Dynamo is no longer a separate application. The icon in the upper left corner of the Dynamo user interface now displays a small Revit icon to reflect this update.
Enhanced Performance for Detailed Steel Models
Revit 2020 uses background processes to carry out performance intensive tasks when editing steel connections in the 3D model so you can continue working on your Revit project.
Additional Parameters for Steel Components
New parameters for components of steel connections gives you more control over the information contained in the engineering documentation.
Change Service Improvement
The Change Service feature has been enhanced for fabrication ductwork to allow a selections service to be swapped while giving the user the ability to retain its original shape.
