NEW Helper feature
To enhance usability, we've introduced the "Helper," a built-in guidance feature that provides explanations for specific functions in Smart Connections. The question mark icon, located next to the minimize and close icons, activates this feature. After the initial synchronization loads the relevant information and images, hovering over a function will display its explanation in the Helper window.
)
The "Helper" feature provides clear, concise explanations of Smart Connections functions, offering real-time guidance to enhance the user experience. It minimizes the need for manual searches by displaying descriptions directly in the Helper window, ensuring quicker understanding and smoother navigation. Whether you're new to the system or need a refresher, the Helper makes accessing relevant information effortless.
NEW Search Rules: ST Connection
The "Wall Joins" Search Rule has long provided powerful capabilities for identifying various wall join connections. Now, we've enhanced it further by introducing the ST Connection feature, a highly requested client enhancement. This update adds new selection options - ST and ST Butt connection - giving users greater precision and efficiency in 3D modeling workflows.

Improvements and bug fixes
In addition to the new features, we’ve made several fixes and refinements to improve overall system stability and user experience.
Search Rules fixes
Search rules now apply correctly only to point-based families, resolving an issue with
now work as expected when placing elements on a cut host’s face.
The graphical issue affecting search rules has been fixed, ensuring rules appear correctly when modified.
improving consistency by renaming "Left & Right" to "Interior & Exterior for Wall category.
UI improvements
, preventing rules from jumping out of place when switching between them.
adjustments now ensure accurate functionality labeling.
, ensuring selected element faces appear correctly.
from 20 to 40, enhancing flexibility for users modeling highly complex elements.
Bug fixes
The no longer duplicates elements unintentionally.
now work as expected.
Why these updates matter
All these enhancements go beyond technical upgrades - they directly improve how efficiently and accurately users can work with Smart Connections in Revit.
With improved usability, the on-the-spot guidance and intuitive UI make navigation easier. Advanced search rules and automation increase efficiency, helping users work faster and more precisely. New features enhance flexibility, offering greater precision and adaptability in modeling workflows. Bug fixes and stability improvements ensure smoother operations, reducing disruptions. Lastly, time-saving enhancements boost workflow efficiency and overall system reliability.
Next Steps
