The Wish List

After working with Revit for several years, you start to hit some walls that are insurmountable without spending a great amount of time and effort to overcome. These are a few of these issues that my colleagues and I have come up with and they will be added to periodically, so check back often. Also please feel free to suggest some of your own.
