VB brace members need to be on separate category, now they are beams and you can not isolate just a brace member’s…Automatic break of one member into two when making “X” brace. More intelligent snapping to beam and column intersection within VB bay, not to beam outside VB bay or perpendicular to VB bay.

Also the ability to move Vertical bracing (Representation) in plan, we have had problems where Revit places the VB on one side of the Beam or off set of the column on plan, yet its inside a wall or intruding on something else.
I know there is a function to flip the bracing over the center to the otherside but this is a global change and its restricts what you can do with them

Snapping for drawing diagonal members of vertical braces needs to offer more choices. We almost NEVER set the working point at the centerline of horizontal brace members for design reasons. This means that we must disconnect the diagonal brace from the horizontal member in order to have the diagonal centerline workpoint at the top flange of a horzontal member. This destroys any relationship between member sizes and makes it useless for analysis.
