Following are a few of the new features:
- Enhancements to Autodesk Revit Parametric Components: Use the Edit Loaded Families feature to edit previously loaded families in Autodesk Revit Building. Use Scheduling Nested Families to schedule the components in a nested family.
- Interference Check: Set parameters to scan your model for problems with conflicting elements.
- Publish to Autodesk Buzzsaw: Easily upload your files from Autodesk Revit Building to your Autodesk® Buzzsaw® project site. Automatically convert Autodesk Revit Building files to either DWG or Autodesk® DWF™ (Design Web Format™) file format. Use default template assignments to assign properties to a view and set those properties back to their original state before publishing or printing a project.
