Oops! How did that one slip through ? Oh, I forgot to mention that I am running just plain Revit, not one of the industry collections. It is categorically not the fastest way to install on a single computer (at least it was not on v2017), despite what it says. Make sure you click on 'View All' and choose one of the two Download options - whatever you do, don't leave the setting on 'Install Now'.

Install Now is what I did with v2017 and it was excruciatingly painful last year. Providing you choose the right download method, you can actually get a proper download of the install software - but the default setting is to install straight from the Autodesk website.

At least I won't have to pay again for the software that I have already paid for once. On contacting Autodesk I was told that the website was under maintenance and I would not be able to order physical media until further notice! What a time to do that, within a week or two of release of the new version.

It only listed v2017, despite saying that it would only allow the latest version. Having said that, I really appreciate the work being done by the development team - I just wish that Autodesk would assign more resources to core Revit instead of going off on a hundred other tangents - after all, Revit is the tool that many of us use most of the time to create BIM content.Īfter the pain of downloading last year, I tried to order physical media. So, I will just comment on a few things, particularly those undocumented. On the contrary, compared with the list of enhancements we used to get 4 or 5 years ago, it is embarrassingly quick to list the new features in 2018, even if you throw in the enhancements from 2017.1. I am not going to list all the new features - not because it would take too long, but because it has been done elsewhere. I have recently installed Revit 2018, and to my great pleasure, the install process was a whole lot better than 2017, which I found quite painful last year (or maybe I have just learnt what to look out for this time around?).
