I know this might sound a little far-fetched or 4D... but one can only hope. It would be great if you could turn on some sort of visability filter... not unlike the 'reveal hidden elements' button that would show you, based on color hue or intensity, when an object was last edited. Here's why... when working on large projects with big teams, it is sometimes difficult to keep up with coordinating and verifying changes made throughout the model. For example, when someone changes wall configurations, the RCPs need to be updated. It is sometimes difficult to catch on-screen that the RCP is incorrect in this area. If there was something, like color, that called your attention to this area, indicating that the objects in that area had updated recently, you could easily glance at a plan and see where you needed to focus your coordination efforts.

I think you have a great idea and revit probably allready knows the time something was last touched because it records it in the journal so it should be possible. Place a request.
