Shaan Hurley Autodesk publishes interactive roadmaps for many AEC products. Each roadmap includes features already delivered, items currently in development and capabilities planned for the near future. These roadmaps are living documents – the development teams warn that dates are subject to change – but they provide valuable insight into where Autodesk’s building‑design, civil‑engineering, construction‑management and reality‑capture tools are headed. Below is an overview of the major AEC roadmaps as of December 2025, highlighting the top features in each status category along with their release versions/dates.
Revit – Architecture
The architecture roadmap for Revit remains very active and is updated regularly. Features are labeled by the Revit version/release in which they shipped or are expected to ship.
Recent deliveries (top 5)
| Feature & description | Release/version |
|---|---|
| Simplified Datasmith export & preferred Twinmotion version – Revit 2026.4 introduced a streamlined Datasmith export and lets users pick their preferred Twinmotion version when sending a model to the Epic Game ecosystem portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.4 (Oct 2025) |
| Image backgrounds in accelerated views – users can set a picture as the background in GPU‑accelerated views (tech preview), enhancing photorealism portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.4 |
| Smarter Manage Links dialog – the redesigned dialog clearly shows which file types (e.g., DWG, IFC) are linked and allows linking directly to Autodesk Docs portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.4 |
| Seamless activation of accelerated views – the activation workflow for GPU‑accelerated views was simplified and the ability to crop accelerated views was added portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.3 |
Faster orbiting & reduced RAM use – improvements to the graphics engine reduced RAM consumption when orbiting large models; combined with the Crop Accelerated Views feature, this makes navigating complex models smoother portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.3 |
Work in progress
The architecture roadmap lists several features currently under development:
- Host architectural walls on other walls – Revit will allow an architectural wall to be created on the face of another wall (useful for cladding or finishes) portal.productboard.com.
- Rule‑based numbering for model elements – a new numbering tool will automatically assign numbers to elements based on rules or categories portal.productboard.com.
- Enhanced wall modeling and profiles – improvements to editing of wall profiles, including better handles and constraints portal.productboard.com.
- Open‑model performance – continued focus on reducing open times and improving performance of large models portal.productboard.com.
- Graphic duplicate‑view control – upcoming options to control how dimension witness lines appear when duplicating views portal.productboard.com.
Planned/under consideration
While Autodesk does not publish a detailed “Next” tab for architecture, a number of high‑vote feature ideas are under consideration, including expanded material library management, integrated HVAC load analysis and improved schedule formatting (these appear on the Ideas boards but are not yet committed). The roadmap for architecture is actively maintained, with regular updates each quarter.
Revit – Structure
The structural roadmap currently contains only strategy statements and broad goals rather than specific feature cards. The public board emphasises goals such as better analysis integration, improving steel connections and accurate documentation, but there are no dated feature deliveries portal.productboard.com. The absence of concrete “Launched” or “In Progress” items suggests that the Revit Structure roadmap is not actively updated.
Revit – MEP
The MEP roadmap lists several delivered items but lacks separate “In‑Progress” and “Next” sections, indicating limited maintenance. Notable MEP deliveries include:
| Delivered feature | Release/version |
|---|---|
| Browser organization for panel schedules – panel schedules can now be grouped in the Project Browser, making electrical documentation easier portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.1 |
| Globalized electrical conductors – conductor sizes and materials are now defined at a global level for consistency across projects portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.1 |
| Pressure drop on fabrication parts – you can assign pressure loss values to fabrication parts for more accurate mechanical calculations portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.1 |
| Duct and cable‑tray transitions improvements – the software automatically places appropriate transitions when size changes occur portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.1 |
| Integrated Twinmotion options – like the architecture discipline, MEP received the ability to export via Datasmith and specify the preferred Twinmotion version portal.productboard.com. | Revit 2026.4 |
Because the MEP board is missing detailed lists of “In progress” or “Next” items, it appears less frequently maintained than the architecture roadmap. Feedback from the MEP user community is still tracked via Idea posts, but there is little visibility into upcoming work.
Civil Infrastructure
Autodesk’s Civil 3D/InfraWorks/InfoDrainage roadmap is one of the richest. It uses a vote‑driven hierarchy with Launched, In Progress, Next, and On Radar categories.

On Radar / under consideration
The roadmap’s On Radar tab lists longer‑term ideas such as mesh selection tools for smarter manual classification and in‑app guidance using the Autodesk Assistant portal.productboard.com. Many of these initiatives combine AI/ML with improved UX, suggesting Autodesk’s future vision for reality capture.
AEC Data Model & Water
Autodesk advertises roadmaps for the AEC Data Model and Water portfolios, but as of December 2025 there is no publicly accessible productboard for these initiatives. The AEC Data Model page on the Autodesk Platform Services site contains only a safe‑harbor statement and instructions to provide feedback aps.autodesk.com, and the Water industry page simply links to a feedback portal autodesk.com. Because there are no feature lists or dated releases, it appears that these roadmaps are either not public or are not actively maintained.
Overall observations
- Actively maintained roadmaps – Revit Architecture, Civil Infrastructure, Dynamo and Reality Solutions roadmaps are regularly updated with released, in‑progress and planned features. These boards include release versions through 2026, indicating continuous development.
- Moderately maintained – Autodesk Construction Cloud’s roadmap focuses on in‑progress work and may not always show delivered features, but updates occur multiple times a year.
- Not actively maintained / opaque – Revit Structure and MEP boards lack detailed “In Progress” and “Next” lists. The AEC Data Model and Water roadmaps only contain high‑level statements, with no public view of features.
