Revit features

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

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

Generative Design (AEC Collection only) – Quickly produce design alternatives based on constraints and rules that you define.

Scheduling – Automate schedules with the ability to add complex formulas.

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

Dynamo for Revit – Use an open-source graphical interface to define, expand and optimise workflows that assist in automating tasks.

3D design visualisation - Explore, validate and communicate design decisions visually. Revit renders with high-quality and precision through the Autodesk Raytracer rendering engine.

Cloud rendering - Produce photorealistic visualisations without tying up your desktop or using special rendering software.

BIM Coordination – Unify the architectural model with other disciplines such as structural models and MEP designs.

Analytically driven modelling - Use accurate and versatile structural analysis tools to evaluate and adapt design intent as the BIM model progresses. Automate analytical representation, run several analyses from a single BIM model, schedule data to be documented and manage quality assurance of structural design.

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

Structural steel modelling - Model connections with a high level of detail using built-in parametric steel connections or by developing your own customised steel connections.

Scheduling – Automate schedules and add complex formulas to further enhance the information delivered to designers.

Bidirectional linking with analysis - Integrate analysis results into the BIM process and work in an iterative design workflow.

Dynamo for structural engineering - User Dynamo to enhance existing tools and reduce the time taken on repetitive tasks.

Linking with steel fabrication - Interoperability between Revit and Advance Steel streamlines the BIM workflow from steel design to fabrication.

Worksharing – Work with other disciplines to share and collaborate on a centrally-linked unified model.

Electrical preliminary load analysis - Electrical engineers and designers can use an architect’s PDF, DWG or Revit geometry to perform preliminary load calculations prior to modelling electrical equipment.

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

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

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

Plumbing design and documentation - Develop sanitary plumbing systems and layout piping systems to design and document intent.

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

Insight integration - Optimise building performance with centralised access to performance data and advanced insights.

Fabrication service conversion - Convert design-level model elements to construction level-of-detail elements with the Design to Fabrication tool.

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

Construction modelling - Gain construction insight from design models. Split and manipulate wall layers and concrete pours and prepare shop drawings for fabrication.

Navisworks interoperability - Open a Navisworks coordination model directly in Revit to coordinate your design teams using different software.

Import/export 2D sheets - Import AutoCAD files in Revit and prepare sheet sets for export to fabricators, subcontractors or other project stakeholders in the format they need.

Constructability details - Develop design-intent models with the essential detail to meet construction teams' requirements.
