[. . . ] Complete Projects, One Environment New and innovative Autodesk Revit Architecture conceptual design features provide easy-to-use tools for free-form modeling and parametric design, and the ability to support the earliest design analyses. Sketch freely, create 3D forms quickly, and manipulate forms interactively. Prepare your models for fabrication and construction with built-in tools for conception and clarification of complex forms. Autodesk Revit Architecture automatically builds a parametric framework around your most complex forms as you continue to design, offering you greater levels of creative control, accuracy, and flexibility. [. . . ] As projects evolve, the Autodesk Revit Architecture parametric change engine helps ensure material takeoffs are always up to date. Interference Check Use interference checking to scan your model for collisions between elements. Intuitive User Interface Autodesk Revit Architecture features a streamlined user interface. Find your favorite tools and commands faster, locate lesser-used tools more efficiently, and discover relevant new features more easily. The result is less time searching through menus and toolbars, and more time getting your work done.
Schedules Schedules provide another view of the comprehensive Autodesk Revit Architecture model. Changes to a schedule view are automatically reflected in all other views. Functionality includes associative split-schedule sections and selectable design elements via schedule views, formulas, and filtering.
Parametric Components A change anywhere is a change everywhere. Parametric components, also known as families, are the basis for all building components designed in Autodesk Revit Architecture. These components offer an open, graphical system for design thinking and form making, while providing the opportunity to adjust and express design intent at increasingly detailed levels. Use parametric components for the most elaborate assemblies, such as cabinetry and equipment, as well as for the most elementary building parts, such as walls and columns. Best of all, no programming language or coding is necessary or required.
Exceed and Succeed
Streamline individual and team processes. Most importantly, win more business with clear and complete presentations.
Design Visualization Create and capture fully photoreal design ideas and contextual environments to experience your project, even before it is built. Integrated mental ray® rendering software is easy to use and delivers high-quality output, faster render times, and a superior design presentation. Native 64-bit Support New native 64-bit support enhances Autodesk Revit Architecture software's ability to handle large projects and helps improve performance and stability for memory-intensive tasks such as rendering, printing, model upgrading, and file importing and exporting. Support Sustainable Design Autodesk Revit Architecture supports sustainable design processes from the earliest stages. Export building information, including materials and room volumes, to green building extensible markup language (gbXML). Perform energy analysis using Autodesk® Green Building Studio® web-based services, and study building performance employing Autodesk® EcotectTM software. Use Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software to evaluate indoor environmental quality in support of LEED® 8. 1 certification. Interoperability Interoperability enhancements enable you to work more efficiently with members of your extended project team. Now you can export your building model or site, complete with critical metadata, to AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software. [. . . ] Autodesk Learning and Education From instructor-led or self-paced classes to online training or education resources, Autodesk offers learning solutions to fit your needs.
