: Enhanced reinforcement detailing and the ability to define structural sections and fabrication details more effectively.

: Printing to PDF became more efficient, with the ability to export multiple sheets as a single file and the automatic hyperlinking of callouts. Discipline-Specific Features

: A new "Selection Box" feature allowed users to quickly create a 3D section view of selected elements, making it easier to isolate and work on specific areas of a model.

: Students and educators can often access newer versions of the software for free through the Autodesk Education Plan .

: Improved energy analysis tools allowed for more precise simulations earlier in the design phase.

: Revit 2016 introduced better tools for MEP fabrication, allowing for more accurate modeling of ductwork and piping directly within the BIM environment. Collaboration and Interoperability

: Refined multi-user collaboration allowed teams to save and sync changes to a central model more reliably.

: Significant speed improvements were made to energy analysis, file linking, and background processes like loading and updating models.
