It\u2019s an exciting time for Autodesk and our customers. For the first time in a couple of years, we\u2019ll be back together again, in person, for\u00a0Autodesk University<\/a>\u00a0(AU). We\u2019re excited because AU is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on our customers and hear how they\u2019re transforming their industries and changing the world. It\u2019s also an opportunity to share the new innovations we have planned across all our solutions.<\/p>\n

\"Audience<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve got lots of news and plenty of surprises in store at AU, we\u2019re mindful of the recent feedback we\u2019ve received from some customers\u2013particularly in the Architecture industry\u2013and the frustrations they\u2019ve shared about the pace of development in Revit. So, in advance of everything new we\u2019ll unveil at AU, we want to provide an update on some of the recent innovations we\u2019ve delivered for Revit and give insight into where we\u2019re heading next. In addition, we want to highlight the resources available to customers aimed at providing more clarity and flexibility in how they buy from Autodesk, and how they can realize consistent value from their software subscription.<\/p>\n

Listening to customers and innovating in AEC<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We remain committed to delivering solutions for the AEC industry that provide connected workflows across every phase of a project\u2019s lifecycle\u2014plan, design, build, and operate. Across our AEC portfolio broadly, and for Revit specifically, we\u2019ve made enhancements that deliver better productivity and efficiency, powerful automations, more sustainable outcomes, and more openness\u2013many of which were inspired by customer requests.<\/p>\n

In fact, across the last two Revit releases we\u2019ve delivered more than 130 new product enhancements and features that are a direct result of customer ideas and feedback provided via\u00a0Revit Ideas<\/a>, in addition to the many other channels where we gather customer input.<\/p>\n

You can take a deeper dive into all the features and innovations delivered in Revit since 2019 on the new Hub for Revit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0release of Revit 2023<\/a>\u00a0delivered documentation workflows, providing productivity, efficiency, and interoperability enhancements that help individual users and project teams produce better design deliverables, faster, and with less re-work and repetition. We recently launched a\u00a0new Hub for Revit<\/a>\u00a0where customers can take a deeper dive into all the features and innovations delivered in Revit since 2019.<\/p>\n

We also publish a\u00a0Revit Public Roadmap<\/a>\u2013which is the best place for customers to see what\u2019s new and what\u2019s on the horizon for Revit. It\u2019s updated with each major release, and customers can vote for the roadmap items they find most important.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Revit Public Roadmap<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0new Hub for Revit<\/a>\u00a0are key pieces of how we\u2019re providing transparency into where Revit is heading, and how customers can provide input along that journey.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to know that we\u2019re innovating Revit with a broad and diverse set of customers in mind\u2013and for disciplines beyond just architecture. We\u2019ll continue to prioritize investments and innovations that best serve the diverse needs of all of our customers.<\/p>\n

A more open Revit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A major request from our customers has been better multi-tool integrations with Revit, to better facilitate project collaboration, and help reduce project inefficiencies and design times. Customers have asked for more support for open standards too. There\u2019s still plenty of work to do here. But we\u2019re making progress, with several developments recently achieved or on the horizon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For building design, we started with integrations between Revit and Inventor, as well as between Revit and Power Automate built on the\u00a0new Forge Data Exchange capability<\/a>. And, at Autodesk University, expect to hear more about how we\u2019re extending data exchange capabilities with popular 3rd party tools. We\u2019re building these connections so that customers can unlock their data and exchange it between all of the tools they rely on\u2013whether from Autodesk or other software providers.<\/p>\n

We continue to partner with the Open Design Alliance and were the first BIM platform to certify IFC files for export for architecture, structures, and MEP. IFC 4.3 will lead to more effective data handovers, so you can be confident in your deliverables. We\u2019ve also expanded support for industry standards and regional requirements like ISO 19650 compatible workflows and the ability to host data on our European data center.<\/p>\n

Expect more at AU<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As mentioned, we have much more in store for Revit at AU. This includes several new integrations and partnerships, which will extend Revit\u2019s interoperability and put new capabilities in the hands of Revit users.<\/p>\n

Expect updates to the Revit user experience, enhanced capabilities for site modeling, documentation, and automation\u2013as well as an exciting new feature, which will allow architects to see the impact of embodied carbon combined with operational carbon.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t join us for Autodesk University in New Orleans, you can still follow along virtually. You\u2019ll be able to view our Day 1 and Day 2 general sessions and access a host of live-streamed and on-demand programming\u2013localized in several languages. This includes our AEC Strategy Sessions and the AEC Futures Briefings, available live and on-demand.<\/p>\n

Providing more clarity, flexibility, and value with Subscriptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We know that for some customers, transitioning to different license models has been a challenge. During this transition, customers have asked for more clarity on the benefits of subscription plans, more detail on the differences between Autodesk Premium and Standard plans, more flexible buying options, and more time-saving administrative tools. Customers also want help choosing the right plan for their organization\u2013and ensuring they get the most value from the plan they choose. Furthermore, customers tell us they need to spend less time managing software subscriptions and more time on critical projects. Here are a few resources available to customers today:<\/p>\n
