What's New in Autodesk Revit 2025

Autodesk Revit 2025 is here, and it's packed with powerful new features and enhancements designed to streamline your workflow and elevate your BIM experience. Here at The BIM Engineers, we've been diving deep into the update, and we're excited to share some of the highlights:

Improved Site Design and Toposolids

Revit 2025 offers enhanced tools for modeling and shaping site topography. The new "Toposolid by Face" feature allows you to create Toposolids directly from any slope surface of a mass element, enabling you to model more intricate and complex topographies. You can also excavate Toposolids using floors, roofs, or other Toposolids, providing greater flexibility in site design.

Total Carbon Analysis for Architects

Revit 2025 introduces new Total Carbon Analysis capabilities, assisting architects in better understanding the embodied and operational carbon impacts of their architectural models. Autodesk Forma's embodied carbon analysis lets you estimate the carbon impacts of your design from the very beginning of the design process. The next generation of Autodesk Insight provides Carbon Insights, allowing you to create an Energy Analytical Model in Revit and analyze its operational and embodied carbon.

Improved Collaboration and Data Exchange

Revit 2025 offers new ways to collaborate and exchange data. The new IFC Category Mapping simplifies IFC export, enhancing collaboration on open BIM workflows. Revit also supports STEP file linking and exporting, which improves coordination. Additionally, the export to the latest version of gbXML 7.03 schema for modeling HVAC systems and building energy simulations, and the addition of new GIS coordinate systems, extend Revit's compatibility with infrastructure workflows.

Project Management Enhancements

Revit 2025 enhances project management with Sheet Collections, a feature that facilitates the efficient organization of project sheets in packages, creating flexible sheet groups without custom parameters or additional software. Sheet Collections parameters can be linked to views, schedules, and filters, further improving organization and efficiency.

Modeling and Fabrication Improvements

Revit 2025 offers new capabilities for modeling and documenting concrete and steel design, as well as enhancements for structural analytical modeling, MEP analysis, and fabrication. These include features like schematic bending details with tags, providing a rich level of information required for fabrication.

Additional Highlights:

• Background PDF export allows you to keep working while PDFs are generated, maximizing your productivity.
• Automatic wall joining and locking during creation minimize errors and streamline the wall placement process.
• The next generation of Autodesk Insight empowers architects with Total Carbon Analysis capabilities.

Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements in Revit 2025 as Autodesk continues to listen to customer feedback and deliver improvements to the industry-leading BIM software. For more information, visit the Autodesk Revit Public Roadmap and the Revit Ideas platform
