Robustness with Systems Analysis (EnergyPlus) should be greatly improved.

I was involved in this beta effort with Autodesk, among a group of select customers. The EAM is used in energy modeling, both locally (Systems Analysis using Open Studio and EnergyPlus) and in the cloud (using Insight). Autodesk has improved the accuracy and performance of the voxel algorithm (2-3x and no memory limits) that creates the energy analytical model (EAM) within Revit. This is another feature near and dear to my heart as we use it weekly, if not every day, at Lake|Flato. In the Material Browser, simply right-click on a material and you will now find two clearly labeled options to duplicate a material. In case you are not sure what problem this solves, check out this post I wrote about it: Duplicating a Material and its assets. This feature has to be my number one favorite new thing in Revit 2023 because it was my idea! Back in 2016, I posted a Revit Idea called Duplicate Material and Assets, which (just occurred to me now) the title of my post is exactly the title of the new command … which is funny because there was lots of discussion about what the command should be called so as to not confuse the alternate command that allows the original results to still be achieved. Energy Analysis Model (EAM) creation enhancements.Cloud path to material textures and decals.

Thus, no structural or MEP items in my Top Five list, sorry. Keep in mind that I am a registered architect (WI) and work at Lake|Flato Architects, which is a top ranked architecture firm. Let’s start with my top five favorite features in Revit 2023. You may want to sit down, get comfortable, maybe grab a coffee first… because Revit 2023 is packed full of exciting new things! This is my seventh annual AECbytes ‘what’s new’ article, and we appreciate the value you find in this resource. With the new version now out, we get to talk about what’s new and improved in the yearly release for Autodesk® Revit®. Similarly, the 20th edition of my first Revit book has already been updated and is in the publisher’s hands! For a trip down memory lane, check out this post: Carol Bartz and Phil Bernstein Signed my First Revit Book. Just a few days after the 20th anniversary of the Autodesk acquisition of Revit, the 2023 version has dropped.
