well- as with many things in life... all it takes is some getting used to it

 i loaded 2010 to my unit at work today and workign with no problems what so ever so FAR!

Its bit tricky finding some of the icons... but with hidden- and pop down menus type of interface its saved some space... and its also made some thing logical - i gess after some time.. its all smooth cruising.

i havent found many imporovements from 2009 to 2010 other than the modeling fancy - SKETCH up style stuff CAN ANYONE POINT OUT SOME OBVIOUS IMPROEMENTS??

Well you might get more responses by asking the question 'what did not get improved' in 2010.

.

New is:

.

.

Completely New Interface - Takes some getting used to if you have quick hands and are an experienced user. 'Whack a Mole'. If you are fairly new to REVIT you may find the new ribbon interface quite accomodating. New Ribbon and new Application pull down menu. Take advantage of the 'help' 'where is my command' dialog box. Learn to read the ribbon parts. There are 'tabs' then 'panels' then the 'tools' which may have split buttons or flyouts. Hover for extended tool tips.

.

.

Conceptual Massing - These objects get created in their own family editor environment starting with the new mass.rte template file. You can save the new masses as *.RFA family files or load them into a project. This new family editor has 3d reference planes and resembles sketchup / Max. The 'create form' tool makes solids etc. from multiple profiles like a multi-faceted sweep. The new 'reference point' objects allow you to add and manipulate individual nodes or nurbs of the mass object. In-place massing is still allowed within a project but the new funky tools are only available in the new massing family editor environment.

.

.

*.SDSK - New interoperability with CIVIL 3D files. 

.

.

Energy Analysis improvements - A new surface analysis tool helps you correctly identify surfaces and openings by color-coding interior and exterior walls, windows, doors, floors, and roofs. With this information, you can then make adjustments to the model and perform accurate energy analysis. Examine an analytical model of your Revit project before exporting the model to a gbXML file. The accuracy of energy analysis depends on accurately identifying surfaces and accounting for the entire volume of the building.

.

.

Expanded API - Good news for software developers and bad news for REVIT users, in my opinion. APIs are what programmers call 'hooks' These are inroads for 3rd party programmers to write software that integrates better with REVIT. AutoCAD was infamous for all it's 3rd party add-ons and it looks like Autodesk is going down the same road,which is dissappointing to many of us who would much rather have the tools 'built in' to REVIT rather than to pay an additional $1000 x 3 for add-ons that have no real guarantee. REVIT Structure and MEP are also going down the exact same road with 'add-ons'. I personally hate the sound of that word. It means Autodesk is going to build the 'core' product (and not even that) and let the public finish it off from there. Then in true software company fashion if the 'add-on' proves to be successfully and valuable enough it gets bought up and made a permanent part of the software. . . . . then they wreck it.  Some times they buy up whole software programs . . . .and wreck them too.

.

.

There are always lots of little undocumented tidbits here and there. You will find them or rather 'go looking for them'.

.

.

Give it a week or so and it will start to flow.
