Another request from the Ideas Page, rebar in model-in-place stairs increases 3D rebar modeling versatility and helps you define accurate reinforcement.New in Revit 2020 you can use multi-rebar annotations for planar parallel free form rebar sets and concrete faces, helping you produce better documentation for concrete projects.Improved rebar copy and move logic translates to increased precision and more predictable results when copying and moving shape-driven rebar.These features and improvements new in Revit 2020 help connect design to fabrication with tools for higher fidelity modeling for detailing, fabrication and construction of concrete. With Revit 2020 you can create more advanced wall geometry with the ability to draw elliptical walls and curtain walls. Electrical homerun wiring improvements give you the control over arrowheads and tickmarks that you need to create electrical documentation that’s easier to understand and use.This capability streamlines related documentation tasks, and helps designers create a better digital model of the system to support analysis. Revit now lets you utilize feed through lugs when creating your electrical distribution systems.Multiple features new in Revit 2020 equip you to create the more accurate, detailed documentation that more closely represents design intent.Ī great example that we’re particularly pleased to release are long-requested electrical design workflow improvements.

As detailed in the public Revit Roadmap, our goal is to deliver start to finish capabilities that lead to improved project outcomes, and as product managers we’re proud to do so. With Revit 2020 all disciplines will see new tools and enhancements that help you generate consistent, coordinated, and complete model-based building designs and documentation.

The release year “2020” is epic, and Revit 2020 lives up to the name, reflecting both your requests submitted to the Revit Ideas page and also introducing new features and functionality. The Revit team is thrilled to release Revit 2020, incorporating improvements in Revit 2019.1 and Revit 2019.2.
