Whilst the Revit Revision system looks good at first, wouldnt it be better if when you set an old revision as Visible, instead of just showing the revision cloud, it actually showed what the model and drawing looked like at that time, enabling you to go back to previous revisions of things? I dont see the point of showing the revision clouds without them actually showing what changed!
I know that you can make a record print/pdf of each issue of a drawing, but it would be useful to be able to revert to an earlier revision sometimes.
Also, when you make changes to the model, if that impact made a change on a particular sheet, marked as "issued" it could start a new sheet revision letter and then display the sheet name in a different colour until you set the sheet as issued again?
The reason I am suggesting this is that our document management (which we are trialing but I cant stop the company buying) does this kind of thing, and I want to get my company to buy into Revit - I need to show that it is as good at handling revisions, without saving each drawing out to AutoCAD to work with our document management.
Has anyone got any thoughts on this subject?
