Autodesk | Revit Architecture

• Design and documentation: Place smart elements such as walls, doors and windows. Revit creates floor plans, elevations, sections, charts, 3D views and renders.
• Analysis: Optimize building performance early in the design process, run cost estimates, and monitor performance changes over the life of the project and building.
• Visualization: Produce photorealistic renders. Create documents with cutouts and 3D views and stereo panoramas to extend your designs into virtual reality.
• Multi-disciplinary coordination: Because Revit is a multi-disciplinary BIM platform, you can share model data with engineers and contractors in Revit, reducing coordination tasks.
• Parametric components: An open, graphical system for design and form making, and the basis for all building components designed in Revit.
• Work sharing: Participants from multiple disciplines can share and save their work in the same central shared file.
• Work schedules: Creating a tabular view of model information extracted from the properties of items in a project.
• Interoperability and IFC: Revit imports, exports, and correlates your data with commonly used formats, including IFC4.
• Plugins: Extend Revit functionality with API access, plugins, and a content library in the Autodesk App Store.
• Detailing: Communicate designs more effectively with WYSIWYG editing and features that let you control text appearance.
• Dynamo for Revit: Extend and optimize BIM workflows with an open source graphical programming interface installed with Revit.
• Global parameters: Embed design intent with project-wide parameters that work with radial and diameter dimensions and equality constraints.
• Conceptual design tools: Draw and create freeform models and do mass studies.
• Analysis with Insight: Optimize building performance with centralized access to performance data and advanced analysis engines.
• Architectural modeling: Add architectural elements to the building model, including walls, doors, windows and components.
• Point cloud tools: Connect laser scans directly to the BIM process to write an embedded model.
• 3D design visualization: Discover, validate and communicate designs. Render faster and more accurately with the Autodesk Raytracer render engine.
• Multi-level staircases: Quickly create and modify multi-storey buildings by connecting stairs to the levels in your project.
• Cloud Render: Create photorealistic visualizations without using a desktop computer or laptop.
