Autodesk Revit 2026.5 Released with .NET 10 Support

Autodesk has released Revit 2026.5, which includes a significant platform update by transitioning Revit from .NET 8 to.NET 10. This change aligns Revit with Microsoft's latest supported .NET platform and provides improved security, long-term support, and compatibility across Autodesk desktop products.

The Revit 2026.5 update was released on August 6, 2026 and includes the .NET 10 runtime as part of the installation package. Autodesk has also noted that third-party add-ins may require validation or updates to ensure compatibility with the new runtime environment. [help.autodesk.com], [blog.autodesk.io]
