Say Hello to Revit 2023!

From delivering on high impact productivity enhancements championed by our customers, to adding new desktop to cloud capabilities that unlock the power of data.

Revit 2023 offers architecture, engineering, and construction teams more fine-tuned, performant, and future-proofed software tools for designing and building in BIM.

Not only does 2023 offer new enhancements, but Revit is also celebrating its Silver Jubilee as the platform enters its 25^th year! Originating in 1997, the software has grown to be a mature platform that continually improves each year.

What’s new to Revit 2023?

Revit 2023 offers significant enhancements to scheduling, structural analytical modelling, cloud capabilities for data management, 3D Sketch with Revit and FormIt Pro, performance upgrades and much, much more! 

Some of our favourite new features are as follows: 

Design productivity

Measure in 3D

• Enables fast and convenient measurements in any 2D or 3D view.
• Snap to any position in 3D without work plane restrictions
• Works in orthographic and perspective 3D views
• New hotkey (CTRL) to lock the measurement perpendicular to the start face
• Activate Perpendicular snap to measure the shortest distance

Library-based connection design automation

Design steel structures more quickly and accurately 

Elevation base options

Improvements to elevation parameters help document and schedule more efficiently

Flip controls for fabrication parts 

Improvements to elevation parameters help document and schedule more efficiently

• Easily reorient the direction of fabrication parts
