New features in Autodesk Revit 2026

Each year Revit sets a new standard for BIM excellence, offering powerful advancements that enhance project
delivery and performance. The latest evolution has better tools to achieve greater precision, speed, and
collaborative control, ensuring you stay ahead in a competitive landscape. See below for the full list of
enhancements.

WALLS

  • New Create by Room Segment allows the creation of finish layers by selecting other walls.
Two diagrams showing different methods of reinforcing a corner in construction. The left diagram highlights a square reinforcement area in red, while the right diagram shows a linear reinforcement along the corner.
  • Core Layers are no longer required in Compound Structures and each layer has a priority function to define and improve wall joins where required.
A detailed assembly diagram of a basic wall structure, showing various layers and their properties, including thickness and thermal resistance.

TOPOSURFACE ENHANCEMENTS:

A 3D model of a landscape with topographical lines, buildings, and a body of water, accompanied by a panel listing various properties and parameters.
  • Multiple subdivisions within the same Toposolid and set different types for each subdivision.
  • Subdivisions can now also be scheduled and edited within Visibility and Graphics.
  • Toposolid Accuracy – A large criticism of the Toposolid feature was inaccuracy when compared with the
  • previous Toposurface system. This has been vastly improved to better generate accurate cut & fill volume.
  • Void Cutting improved.
  • Copy/Paste Points has been introduced to speed up modelling.
  • Maximum Toposolid Points increased from 10,000 to 20,000.

VIEW CALLOUTS, ELEVATION/SECTION MARKS AND VIEW REFERENCES:

  • Instance-based Reference Labels. They still have a type-default, just use the instance parameter to define your own where necessary.
A technical drawing featuring various symbols and annotations, including circles with triangles inside, labeled "Sim" and "A203."
  • Introduction of Shared Parameters for View markers and references.
A technical drawing with annotations, including a label "A404" and text indicating existing stairs and a lobby view.
  • Global Setting for Structural Elements to Disable automatic shortening of Steel elements when auto-joining.

SHEETS

  • Additional parameters available in Schedule Sheet List properties including fields from Global Parameters and titleblocks.
  • Sheet Collections are now available as a category for Schedules, allowing for quick automation of parameter inputs based on Sheet Collection.
  • “As Indicated” Scale override parameter for all Titleblocks.
Two Revit sheet title blocks displaying different scale label styles – one shows "As indicated" and the other
  • Savable View position to lock in place and repeat saved position throughout the Project with Automated View Placement.
Revit viewport properties panel showing crop, positioning, and saved view settings for a floor plan view.

LINK MANAGEMENT

  • 2025.5 saw the overhauled Manage Links interface with Improved visibility and control of linked Models and CAD formats. You can now view imported or linked items in the same dialog.
Revit Manage Links dialog showing Revit, CAD, and image file links with status indicators and path types.
  • Coordination Model Visibility & Graphics tab, allowing for greater visual control of categories and the colour of linked elements in views.
Revit Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog showing the color selection window for changing the appearance of structural framing elements in a 3D view.
  • More precise IFC positioning.

ACCELERATED REVIT GRAPHICS TECH PREVIEW

  • Enhances visual performance and responsiveness, reducing lag and improving navigation speed in 3D and 2D views.
Side-by-side comparison of Revit elevation views with and without Accelerated Graphics enabled, highlighting differences in rendering detail and clarity.

RECAP PRO MESH REVIT PLUGIN

  • ReCap Pro integration allows for import and conversion of large or complex Point-Clouds into Revit. Link a mesh, define parts and convert Mesh geometry to native Revit Families.
3D point cloud model of a commercial building and its surrounding site, captured using reality capture technology.
Revit "Add to Document" dialog showing classification of point cloud data into HVAC and Wall elements with assigned Revit categories.
Revit interface showing the “Promote to Family” dialog box for a wall element converted from a ReCap mesh, with Revit category and template selection options.

INTERFACE CHANGES:

  • Many modification and placement options moved from Option Bar to Ribbon.

ENHANCED TWINMOTION FAMILY SUBSTITUTION

Side-by-side comparison of a low-poly car model in a modeling environment and a fully rendered, photorealistic version of the same car.

MEP IMPROVEMENTS:

  • MEP Fabrication load times are now 70% faster and issues with step-downs have been addressed.
Revit Fabrication Settings dialog showing a list of unloaded and loaded MEP services under the "Fabrication configuration" tab.
  • MEP Content Editor now permits 3D visuals of connections before loading into the project.
MEP Content Editor interface showing a 3D view of a copper 90-degree elbow fitting with editable connection points and product details. Title:
  • Globalized Electrical conductors to manage circuit wiring requirements and cable configurations.
  • Enhanced HVAC zoning and analytical model coordination.
Revit floor plan view showing assigned analytical system zones with mechanical ductwork and piping layouts overlaid.

MEP IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Easily model cranked rebar in congested areas to prevent clashes.
