Overview
Revit BIM software empowers architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams to produce superior-quality buildings and infrastructure. Utilize Revit for:
- Crafting 3D models of shapes, structures, and systems with parametric detail, accuracy, and simplicity.
- Simplifying documentation processes, enabling immediate updates to plans, elevations, schedules, and sections as projects evolve.
- Facilitating collaboration across multidisciplinary teams by providing specialized toolsets within a cohesive project environment.
Why use Revit?
- Run projects more efficiently - Ease production burdens by using built-in automation for documenting design and managing deliverables.
- Unify teams and workflows - Save, sync, and share model-based BIM and CAD data in Revit and connect multidisciplinary teams and workflows.
- Take command of your design data - Use Revit as the data backbone of your BIM process. Develop and deploy standards, workflows, and content.
What can you do with Revit?
Create and develop your design intent
With tools for sketching, scheduling, annotating, and document production, Revit drives efficient BIM workflows and includes specialized tools and automation for every AEC discipline.
Keep your teams on the same page
Autodesk supports the way AEC project teams work together anytime, anywhere. With Revit cloud worksharing and Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, keep your teams in sync and your projects on track.
Deliver better buildings for everyone
With integrated analysis tools and interoperability support for a broad range of CAD and BIM tools, Revit helps project teams uncover insights and drive outcomes with data.
What's New
Create Toposolids using the Model by Face tool using any non-vertical surface of a Mass element, giving you greater flexibility over the design of complex topography.
Design intricate sites with the new excavation tools. Cut your existing Toposolid using floors, roofs, masses or other Toposolids. This functionality delivers precise cut calculations using new excavation volume parameters. Additionally, you can now host face-based families in the exposed sides of an excavation.
Say goodbye to tedious grading. Snap to 3D points in underlay geometry, including linked DWG files, to ensure precise alignment. Plus, you can visualize contour lines while editing your Toposolid shape, making the process faster and more intuitive.
Display Toposolids in a realistic, high-quality appearance. The new smooth shading feature eliminates the triangulated mesh look, giving your Toposolids a natural, smooth continuous surface.
And much more...
