Revit 2019.1 Released Today

The Revit 2019.1 Update showed up today  in the Autodesk Desktop App...

Here are the listed improvements in the release notes:

  • Added the ability to link topography published from Civil 3D.
  • Added the ability to support units defined in Civil 3D for topography links.
  • Added the ability to manage linked topography in manage links dialog.
  • Added the ability to browse topography in BIM360 document management.
  • Added the ability to link a topography from BIM 360 Document Management.
  • Added the ability to use geo-location information defined in Civil 3D when linking a topography.
  • Added the ability to locate to the last path which you have been after opening link topography dialog.
  • Added the ability to keep hosting elements after topography link is reloaded.
  • Added the ability to copy building pads and subregions on a linked topography.
  • Added the ability to reload linked topography when opening a Revit project.
  • Help links now use https instead of http and support single sign-on functionality.
  • Improved the user experience to handle different error cases for topography links.
Lots of Civil-related items. See the link  for a list of 'resolved issues' as well.
Update: Turns out the "release notes" section is missing a lot of new stuff. Check out Harlan Brumm's post here: http://blogs.autodesk.com/revit/2018/08/15/revit-2019-1-new-features-in-the-latest-release/ 

A new 'Revit Home' only shows Central files and only creates new local files if the review is clicked (of course, it will still show non-workshared files). Also, the ability to align Sections to other elements has been added. Plus a few other things I will post about soon.


Given all the civil improvements, I guess it is no surprise that the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2019.1 update come out today as well.
