Revit 2011 - Bug Reports

[Lashers]

Paul, That's not a Bug! Its a feature!

As some of you, I have started working in the new RAC2011.
I was editing a group, and I connot find the old Edit group tab in the ribbon.
So, I opened RAC2010 and found out that the shortcut is FG, and that did the finish group command.
But the edit group tab still isn't showing.
Am I missing something?

I hope you mean Revit 2011?

[arqt49]

Yes, cliff. I meant 2011. Just corrected the post :P
But about what I just wrote,do you see that tab?

[Paul Monsef]

Maybe Al should be the new mascott for the ribbon in Revit 2011? Everytime I report a ribbon bug, Al is stuck on the side of my building.

When editing a group in 2011 the defult is for the edit group ribbon pannel to be "torn off" of the Ribbon and placed in the upper left corner of the canvas. This can be dragged and positioned elsewhere on the screen. Perhaps it is opening off screen somewhere, or positioned where you are not seeing it?

Hey, Phil!
I've been wondering what your impression of the "New! Improved!" Ribbon would be.

I was hoping for maybe Sober Leprechaun, or at least Hungover Leprechaun.

Just created a new project and edit a group.
The edit group ribbon is there.
But not in the project I am working on and just upgraded from RAC2010.

Edit1: Forget it. I just went back to the upgraded project and the group now is there.
Magic?

Edit 2: First crash!

Were experiencing a pretty big bug with content that has Instance yes/no parameters, which are driving formulas in the Family. Changing the value of the parameter in the project environment causes Revit to go wild, and you can no longer see your selection window. Sometimes clicking soemthing else or tabbing to another opened project alleviates the display issue, but it PUTS THE PARAMETER BACK to the other value.

Its very strange, but weve made the Factory aware. Will post updates as we get them. Unfortunately for us, that means a great deal of our library cannot be used, ergo we cannot upgrade right now.

EDIT: This only happens with using the Properties palette and then clicking back to the modeling window. if you use the apply button, it doesnt happen and Revit behaves as normal. Kudos to Robert Manna for the find.

1. Type properties panel often has to be scrolled horizontally with no reason for that.
2. Dont know if it is issue of Revit or Max 2011 but during fbx export some Autodesk material properties do not retain. For example transparancy and reflectivity for glazing.

I found this on the new features site:

Increased interoperability with 3ds Max through:

• Export of FBX files to Max with Protein 2 appearances
• Import of DWG files and ADSK files with Protein 2 appearances

Note3ds Max/Design 2011 is required for materials to transfer.
