Key features of Autodesk Revit

Articulate form in the Revit massing environment with freeform tools for profiling and massing, and refine geometry parametrically in the project environment.

AEC COLLECTION ONLY
Use advanced simulation engines and building performance data integrated in Revit to assess daylighting, whole building energy, heating and cooling loads, and more.

Add architectural elements to the building model, including walls, doors and windows, or define custom components and families to meet any modelling need and level of detail.

Use scanning tools to capture existing and as-built conditions and import into Revit as point clouds.

Explore, validate and communicate design decisions visually. Revit renders with high quality and precision through the Autodesk Raytracer rendering engine.

Quickly create and modify multi-storey buildings by connecting stairs to the levels in your project.

Produce photorealistic visualisations without tying up your desktop or using special rendering hardware.

Leverage accurate and versatile structural analysis tools to assess and adapt design intent as the BIM model develops. Automate analytical representation, run multiple analyses from a single BIM model, schedule data for documentation and assure quality control of structural design. New in Revit 2023.

Create 3D reinforcement designs for cast-in-place and precast concrete structures. Produce reinforcement shop drawing documentation with rebar schedules.

Model connexions with a higher level of detail using a variety of parametric steel connections in Revit or by creating your own custom steel connections.

Integrate analysis results into the BIM process and work in an iterative design workflow.

Dynamo gives structural engineers, designers and detailers tools to build structures with minimal energy and make their own design tools.

Interoperability between Revit and Advance Steel helps provide a seamless BIM workflow from steel design to fabrication.

Electrical engineers and designers working in Revit can now leverage an architect’s PDF, DWG or Revit geometry to perform preliminary load calculations earlier in the design process – prior to modelling electrical equipment.

Systems Analysis optimises your HVAC systems design and modelling, letting you make data-driven design decisions. 

Design complex duct and pipe systems to express intent, and model duct and pipe systems with mechanical design content.

Design, model and document electrical systems. Keep track of electrical loads throughout the distribution system.

Create sanitary plumbing systems with sloped piping and layout piping systems to design and document intent.

Create fabrication-ready models in Revit. You can model and coordinate MEP LOD 400 components.

Insight lets you optimise building performance with centralised access to performance data and advanced analysis engines.

Use the Design to Fabrication tool to convert design-level model elements to construction level-of-detail elements.

Document model layout more effectively. Document, schedule and tag fabrication elements.

Derive construction insight from design models. Split and manipulate wall layers and concrete pours and prepare shop drawings for fabrication.

Open a Navisworks coordination model directly in Revit to coordinate your design with the work of teams that use different software.

Bring AutoCAD files in or out of Revit and prepare sheet sets for export to fabricators, subcontractors or other project stakeholders in the format they need.

Augment design-intent models with the detail necessary to meet the requirements of construction teams.
