We are pleased to announce the availability of Revit 2016 R2. If you've been following our blog, you may remember a little thing we previewed called Revit Sunrise. The big day is finally here and Sunrise has now graduated. You can download Revit 2016 R2 now from Autodesk Accounts or via the Autodesk app manager.
This subscription only Revit 2016 R2 delivers user-requested features that add capabilities, enhances software performance, improves user productivity, and addresses issues reported directly to Autodesk.
Some highlights include Global Parameters, which brings the power of parametric families into the project environment to better capture design intent, and Draw Visible elements only which improves performance when working with complex models by using Occlusion Culling.

Thanks, guys. This looks great!
I can't wait to install and test it (on Win 7.)
Does this R2 update address compatibility with Windows 10 at all? We have clients asking.
As far as I can find, this is the only definitive Autodesk answer on Win 10, ..but it doesn't address Revit 2016 R2.

Hi Tony, Are you running into problems running Revit on Windows 10? While we weren't able to test Revit 2016 with Windows 10 (due to it not being released at the time it was originally released) we do want to ensure that 2016 and R2 work on it.

Hi Harlan,
Thanks for the quick reply!
I have not installed Win 10 on my computer, based largely on the official Adsk position that "Windows 10 is not yet an officially supported operating system across the Autodesk product line." per link above.
But, many others are asking about running Revit on Win 10.
I'm gathering that the R2 update does not change this official compatibility.
It seems that Revit 2016 will usually work on Win 10, for most people.

I am running Revit 2013, 2014, 2015 R2 and 2016 R2 on Windows 10 quite successfully.

Thanks Paul! Tony, you are right, "officially", R2 does not change the compatibility.
