I wish we had the ability to wrap materials in ceilings |
| Just like the wish says, we want to be able to wrap a material on a ceiling. For example we have a ceiling cove but the soffit wall is set back from the edge and therefor we want to use the wrap function to cap the end of the ceiling.
hope that explanation made sense. |

We need vertical flip controls |

Ability to detach objects from Mass, which were created from faces of Mass objects |

Adjust material layers in roofs like walls |
| Hi there, The wish i would like to see incorporated would involve the roof being able to act like a wall does with respect to being able to adjust individual components. On the wall tool you can unlock a component then move it up or down but are unable to do so on the roof even though it is made up of components. |

There needs to be a better way to log consultant sheets and populate them in an index |
| There needs to be a better way to log consultant sheets and populate them in an index. Currently, one has to manually add sheets (which can be painful sometimes) name them, title them, index order them and then populate a schedule. This not only can become arduous, but can hurt performance on the Revit model for large projects. |

Third click when creating sections to control view depth |

Object should have separate material and finish |
| A built-in parameter should be added for finish. Materials and finishes are two different things. I might have a metal fixture that has a paint finish. One is not going to build the finish of course, but often we must tag both the finish and the base material. |
