Autodesk Revit 2015 ..... What's New? ..3

architectural drawings By Revit

• View Title Families When creating a label for a view title family, you can now use any parameters from the View category; you are not limited to parameters in the View port category. You can also add shared parameters to the label if you want to display custom information.

• Attached Detail Groups Attached detail groups now behave as clipped instead of pinned. When you select an attached detail group, a paperclip icon displays. Because these groups are not pinned, they can be deleted, and they can be selected even if the Select Pinned Elements option is turned off. The only case where the attached group cannot be selected when Select Pinned Elements is turned off is if the model group that the detail group is attached to is pinned.

• Assembly Code File Under Additional Settings on the Manage tab, you can now specify the assembly code file to use for assigning a Uniformat code to the Assembly Code type property of model elements. The file can be stored on a local server or a remote server. A Uni-format 2010 Classification text file is also now installed and located by default in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ Autodesk\<product name and release>\Libraries\<locale and language>.

• Performance Enhancements Finally, performance has been enhanced in the following ways:

Faster drawing of elements in views: Revit now consolidates the drawing process
such that many elements are drawn in larger batches to improve performance. For
example, when drawing 100 walls, Revit would previously require 200 drawing calls.
In this release, Revit can now draw the same walls using only 2 drawing calls. As a
result, views are redrawn more quickly, making view navigation faster.

Faster selection graphics: When you select a large number of elements in the model,
Revit uses a new process for displaying the selected elements, so that software performance is improved.

Improved performance in MEP views: The underlying technologies used to display MEP elements in views have been enhanced, improving performance when opening and manipulating views that involve large numbers of MEP elements.
