So let’s do this thing: First principles: Considering a Revit upgrade Still, there are considerations to look at, even knowing that will be my recommendation. (If you know me, did you expect I would say something different?). Probably more so or with more urgency than other releases in the last 3-5 years. But as we’re still waiting for official release from Autodesk, we’ll talk in generalities here, but I will say:

How do I know so soon after release what’s coming in Revit 2022? Because Parallax Team is in the Revit Preview, and it might make sense for you to be, too.

In a second post, we will look at the business case for making Implementation Changes based on the new features that ship with Revit 2022, and how/why my team and I stay engaged with what is in development. Over two posts, I am going to look at the case for Upgrading/Deploying a new version of Revit (from a BIM Manager’s perspective), starting here with some important considerations that come up any time there’s an upgrade available, before diving into some key considerations that will be specific to Revit 2022. Year after year, as Autodesk rolls out new versions of software, we evaluate the entire BIM Implementation of our clients against these new offerings, looking for changes - small and large, positive and not-so-positive - that may need to be addressed or altered, to make working more efficient. We also maintain Content Libraries and Project Templates for all the current versions of Revit, and we maintain those objects for a number of our customers, as well. We serve as BIM Manager for a lot of them. We assist customers with all aspects of Practice Technology Implementation. While there will be myriad posts about new features, new tools, new offerings, rebadged and renamed offerings, in this post I want to talk about what this new release means for the BIM Managers and IT folks in the back, alike: those setting up and implementing the features in the yearly releases. By now, you are probably aware that Revit 2022 is now live.
