The Renovation tool is very useful and powerfull, but it has major drawbacks.
1. Solid Elements Operations dont interact properly with Renovation. If you have a New element thad gets substracted from a Existing one, the operation appears in the Existing Elements filter combination as well, wich is wrong (ex. a new wall that gets substracted from the ground mesh. the hole created in the mesh is visible in the existing status as well).
2. Composites layers dont combine well with Renovations. You may have a existing wall that just has a new layer added (thermal insulation, structural grouting etc.). This cannot be achieved in a BIM way currently. You have to add extra individual walls adjacent to one another to obtain this.
3. Surfaces and Renovations dont work together. You may have a existing wall that gets a new finish. You cant obtain this in a BIM way usig Renovations. You can work around it with Graphic Overrides, but thai is not the point.
The list may go on.
Please update the Renovation tool
Thank you.
