BIM—Simply a Better Way of Working
AutoCAD® Revit® Architecture Suite— For Maximum Flexibility and Advantage
Combining AutoCAD®, AutoCAD Autodesk software applications into a single, comprehensive package, this suite allows you to transition to building
information modeling (BIM), while protecting your legacy software, training, and design data investments. Purpose-built for BIM, Autodesk Revit Architecture delivers a powerful competitive advantage by speeding creative design work, facilitating analysis for sustainable design, and automatically delivering coordinated, consistent documentation. Support ongoing work in either AutoCAD or AutoCAD Architecture while you make the switch to BIM with Autodesk Revit Architecture, at your own pace.

Revit® Architecture
Autodesk Revit Architecture is purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM). BIM is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. By adopting BIM, architecture firms can use this consistent
information throughout the process to design and document innovative projects, accurately visualize appearance for better communication, and simulate real-world performance for better understanding of cost, scheduling, and environmental impact.
BIM helps architects stay competitive in an increasingly complex business climate by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of a building before it is built. BIM enables architects to create more sustainable, accurate designs with fewer errors and less waste, which can result in higher profits and more satisfied clients. BIM also optimizes team collaboration because it enables architects to more clearly and reliably communicate design intent to engineers, contractors, fabricators, and owners.
Definitive Design
From conception to construction documentation, design projects within an intuitive environment.
Building information modeling and Autodesk Revit Architecture are key components of our larger strategy to provide a much more comprehensive and integrated service to our clients.

Senior Project Manager Reno C. Negrin Architects
Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software helps you explore your most innovative design concepts and forms at the earliest possible stages of your project, and maintain your vision through construction documentation. Purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), Autodesk Revit Architecture provides superior support for sustainable design, clash detection, construction planning, and fabrication, while helping you work collaboratively with engineers, contractors, and owners. Any and all design changes along the way are automatically updated throughout your evolving design and documentation, making for more coordinated processes and reliable documentation.
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 D 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, oering you greater levels of creative control, accuracy, and flexibility. Take your design from concept model all the way to construction documents, all within one intuitive environment and user interface.
Authoritative Decisions, Sooner
Autodesk Revit Architecture software supports early analysis of your building forms so your team can make better informed decisions at the earliest stages of your project. Use this capability to comprehensively clarify areas and volumes, perform daylighting and energy analysis, and gain insight into manufacturing viability and early construction material takeos.
Functional Forms
The Building Maker feature in Autodesk Revit Architecture helps you transform your conceptual forms into fully functional building designs. Select and add faces to design walls, roofs, floors, and curtain systems. Extract important building information, including gross area per floor. Bring conceptual massing concepts from applications such as AutoCAD Autodesk

Coordinated, Accurate Design Information
Autodesk Revit Architecture software is built to work the way architects and designers think about buildings. Work naturally, design freely, and deliver eciently within one environment.
Autodesk Revit Architecture provides and presents every schedule, drawing sheet, D view, and D view from a single foundational database, automatically coordinating changes across all facets and presentations as your project develops and evolves.
Bidirectional Associativity
A change anywhere is a change everywhere. In Autodesk Revit Architecture, all model information is stored in a single, coordinated database. Revisions and alterations to information is automatically updated throughout the model, and significantly reducing errors and omissions.
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.
Detailing
The extensive detail library and detailing tools provided within Autodesk Revit Architecture enable extensive presorting, easing alignment with the CSI format. Detail libraries can be created, shared, and tailored to accommodate your oce standards.
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 oer 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.
Material Takeo
Calculate detailed material quantities with Material Takeo. Ideal for use on sustainable design projects and for precise verification of material quantities in cost estimates, Material Takeo significantly smooths the material quantity tracking process. As projects evolve, the Autodesk Revit Architecture parametric change engine helps ensure material takeos 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 eciently, and discover relevant new features more easily. The result is less time searching through menus and toolbars, and more time getting your work done.
Exceed and Succeed
Streamline individual and team processes. Deliver more complete documents and higher-quality designs. 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
