REVIT FEATURES

Tools for architects

Take an idea from conceptual design to construction documentation within a single software environment. Optimise building performance and create stunning visualisations.

Tools for structural engineers

Use tools specific to structural design to create intelligent structure models in co-ordination with other building components. Evaluate how well they conform to building and safety regulations.

Tools for MEP engineers

Design MEP building systems with greater accuracy and in better co-ordination with architectural and structural components, using the co-ordinated and consistent information in the intelligent model.

Tools for construction professionals

Evaluate constructability and design intent before construction begins. Gain a better understanding of the means, methods and materials and how they all come together.

Why Revit?

Design

Model building components, analyse and simulate systems and structures, and iterate designs. Generate documentation from Revit models.

Interoperability

Work with members of an extended project team. Revit imports, exports and links your data with commonly used formats, including IFC, DWG™ and DGN.

Collaborate

Multiple project contributors can access centrally shared models. This results in better co-ordination, which helps reduce clashes and re-work.

Visualize

Communicate design intent more effectively to project owners and team members by using models to create high-impact 3D visuals.
