Here's a word document with a number of screenshots from the upcoming release of version 7. I pulled these images of the AUGI website, where they were posted by Autodesk Revit developer David Conant. I thought there are a lot of members here who don't frequent the AUGI website and might enjoy a glimpse of the future.
I'm excited to see what else lies in store...

Perhaps everyone is not reading the Forum posts but
I posted the same link from CGarchitect.com to the news in Revit 7.0 some days ago
Posted Thursday Oct 7th, 2004 - 4:02 AM
I also posted a wish-list: for Revit 7.0 in the same message.
http://revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=507
I believe that the users of Revit have to demand certain things from the Revit-folks not just accepting what they get. I
T IS ABOUT SECURING DRAWINGS FOR THE FUTURE AND COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER APPLICATIONS FREELY AND BEING ABLE TO GETTING THE PROGRAM TO SUIT YOUR OWN DEMANDS. AND MAKING THE PROGRAM ATTRACTIVE FOR DEVELOPERS SO IT WILL LAST FOR THE FUTURE. DO YOU HEAR ME?
My wishlist had some points among them a open architecture of Revit for plugins, script lamguage, free-rendering possibilities, ...
The most needed as I see it is that Revit can save, export and import from a standard format in XML so you can communicate with other CAD-applications and that your drawings are safeguarded for the future. Who knows if Revit will exist in the future?!.,
Everyone wants to communicate with other programs and no one wants to loose their drawings.
My suggestion was to use a STANDARD as X3D from W3C(http://www.w3c.org/):
http://www.web3d.org/
and there is also
SVG - Scalable Vector Graphics from W3C to use for 2D-drawings.
Here is just a little example of the BABYLONIAN approach that stil exists in the 3D and CAD-world:
http://go.cadwire.net/?2202,2,1
http://www.drsoftware-home.com/df3d/df3d.html
about Dr. Frame3D a very much needed program for architects:
While there is no dedicated option to import structural models from other CAD applications, it is possible to open a simple script in XML format that describes the basic geometry and connectivity of a structural model. A DXF file containing a line drawing of a structure can also be opened; however, the model has to undergo extensive transformation and rotation to be correctly oriented and located with respect to the grid in the visualization pane. Moreover, this ability is still so recent that it is not even mentioned in the documentation. Essentially, most users would rely on the three Auto commands to create the model in Dr. Frame3D, in the absence of more convenient ways to import the model.
http://sourceforge.net/
Here you find cooperation on developping software for CAD and XML and FEM(structural design). A new open Revit would be fine or just to have the possibility to develop applications as plugins to Revit, programs having the oppurtunity to communicate with Revit..

You are sitting in a snare!
http://www.orgsites.com/mn/novembernovel/_pgg9.php3
The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body.
OK! You do not need to be religious to understand that everyone is dependent on all the others in some way or the other. In the 3D and CAD world you have to have a STANDARD - if you shall be able to cooperate with others and their programs. To build a house, a school, a hospital or a city , a state, our sattelite called earth. It is about cooperation. To respect other humans. There is STANDARDS - XML is a grammar for standards and it can be used for everything you can imagine - Mathematics, chemistry, economy, recipies on turkey, CAD and 3D...
The STANDARD you find here:
http://www.w3c.org/
and for 3D it is called X3D and for 2D there is SVG
http://www.adobe.com/svg/
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO TRUST REVIT.
REVIT IS A VERY GOOD BUT WHY THOSE DARK SIDES?
http://www.orgsites.com/mn/novembernovel/_pgg9.php3
The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body.
Autodesk has to realize that the body has many parts and they have to function together.
And Autodesk is not the head... more something in the stomach...
OK! Let us demand that AutoDesk uses this standard or the users of their products will not be able to know if they can use the drawings next year, or in some year to come ! And they will not be able to communicate with other programs this year.,
Who knows how long Autodesk will exist. It is a big firm but there are so many other clever firms on the 3D and CAD market.
Among the world leading in 3D and architcture visualization is Octaga using X3D - not Autodesk formats!
http://www.octaga.com/
World leading on 2D SVG is Adobe!!! not Autodesk...

We've had a number of inquiries recently about the future availability of a set of applications for Revit that will be comparable to the Autodesk Building Systems part of the Autodesk Architectural Desktop software line. In the past, the Revit folks have consistently said they plan to develop such a building services engineering product for Revit. But they've been pretty quiet about it recently,

In this latest version, DWF adds support for sharing 3D models, in addition to the detailed 2D and object information it already carries. This functionality will be available in an upcoming release of its free, downloadable viewer software, Autodesk® DWF™ Viewer 5, expected to be made available mid- July, in conjunction with the upcoming release of Autodesk’s flagship mechanical design application Autodesk Inventor® 9, the cornerstone of Autodesk Inventor® Series.

And why can not Revit export in .swf - Flash format made open of Macromedia
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/open/licensing/fileformat/
.swf you can use also on mobiles!
Being able to send your drawing to someones mobile - that is the future...
integration it with a Flash animation, video, sound....
dwg - dwf - .rvt - Autodesk formats - is not W3C standards and nothing for the future I think....
But certainly there are others defending those formats?

Here you can read a little about .pdf and .dwf:
http://www.campus-technology.com/print.asp?ID=8458
But still X3D and SVG are W3C standards! Why not use them?
Drawings have to be safeguarded for the future!!!
Both X3D and SVG are plain text format so you can read them with Notepad!
And you can transform them to whatever XML-format you want using eg. XSL-FO.
That is the future! Or someone having a better alternative for the futute and for today?

Here eg. you can read about XSL-FO:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/
It is about formatting for printing to:
PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT, MIF and TXT
It is not formatting to Autodesk .dwf! Why? because .dwf is not a good standard... or?
