Autodesk Revit Architecture software enables you to explore the latest design concepts and aesthetics early in the project design process, while accurately conveying your design philosophy throughout the entire construction documentation phase. Built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk Revit Architecture supports sustainable design, clash detection, construction planning, and execution, helping you communicate and collaborate effectively with engineers, contractors, and owners. Any changes made during the design process are automatically updated across all related designs and documentation, ensuring a more coordinated and consistent workflow and producing more reliable design documents.
Revit Architecture’s comprehensive and innovative conceptual design tools offer intuitive features for freeform modeling and parametric design, allowing you to analyze early-stage designs with ease. These tools let you freely sketch, quickly generate 3D shapes, and interactively manipulate forms. Built-in utilities help clarify complex shapes and prepare models for construction. As your design evolves, Revit Architecture automatically generates parametric frameworks around even the most intricate shapes, providing greater control, precision, and flexibility. The entire design process—from conceptual models to construction documents—takes place in an intuitive environment.
Make authoritative decisions faster
Autodesk Revit Architecture supports early-stage building shape analysis, empowering your team to make informed decisions as soon as possible. You can specify building area and volume, perform solar and energy analyses, evaluate construction feasibility in depth, and calculate initial construction material requirements with precision.
Functional shape transformation
The Building Maker feature helps you convert conceptual masses into fully functional architectural designs. You can select and add faces to create walls, roofs, floors, and curtain wall systems. Important building information, such as the total floor area, can be extracted. Whether importing from AutoCAD, Autodesk Maya, AutoDesSys FormZ, McNeel Rhinoceros, Google SketchUp, or other ACIS-based applications, you can convert conceptual NURBS masses into Revit mass objects and proceed seamlessly with schematic design.
Consistent and precise design information
Autodesk Revit Architecture is designed around the architectural workflow, allowing architects and designers to work comfortably in a unified environment. You can design freely and complete your projects efficiently.
All schedules, drawings, 2D and 3D views come from a single, centralized database. Any design changes automatically update throughout all project content and presentations.
Bidirectional associativity
Any change made is reflected throughout all related information. Revit Architecture stores all model data in a collaborative database, ensuring that revisions and modifications update automatically, greatly reducing errors and omissions.
Detailed schedules
Schedules offer an alternative view of the entire Revit model. Changes made in schedule views are automatically reflected across all other views. Schedules support associative segmentation and allow selection of design elements via formulas and filters.
Detailed design capabilities
Revit Architecture includes a broad set of detailed design tools that support extensive pre-processing and easy compatibility with CSI formats. You can create and share designs following your office standards.
Parameterized components
Parameterized components, or families, form the foundation of all building elements in Revit Architecture. This open graphical system allows you to conceptualize designs freely, create shapes, and fine-tune details to express your design intent. You can parameterize everything from intricate assemblies like custom wood furniture and equipment to fundamental building elements such as walls and columns, all without requiring any programming or coding knowledge.
Intuitive user interface
Revit Architecture features a streamlined user interface that helps you quickly locate frequently used tools and commands, recognize less-used features, and discover new related functionalities easily. This reduces time spent searching menus and toolbars, allowing you to focus more on design.
Material quantity calculation
The material quantity calculation feature provides detailed material takeoffs, making it ideal for sustainable design projects and precise material verification. This greatly optimizes material tracking as the project progresses. Thanks to the parametric change engine, material quantity data remains up to date throughout the project lifecycle.
Clash detection
Use clash detection to scan your model and identify conflicts between components early, avoiding costly issues during construction.
Streamlined workflows and success
Revit Architecture simplifies individual and team processes by delivering more complete documentation and higher-quality designs. This clarity and thoroughness in presentations can help you win more business.
Design visualization
Create photorealistic architectural designs and render your surrounding environment to experience your creative vision before construction begins. The integrated mental ray rendering engine is user-friendly and produces high-quality renderings efficiently, helping you showcase your design excellence.
Enhanced interoperability
Revit Architecture’s improved interoperability enables better collaboration with project team members. You can export building models or site plans with key metadata to AutoCAD Civil 3D, and import precise, data-rich models from Autodesk Inventor, accelerating the transition from design to construction documentation.
Support for sustainable design
Revit Architecture supports sustainable design workflows from the earliest design phases. It can export building information such as materials and room volumes in Green Building XML (gbXML) format. You can also leverage the Autodesk Green Building Studio web service for energy analysis and use Autodesk Ecotect software for building performance research. Additionally, Autodesk 3ds Max Design enables accurate indoor environmental quality evaluations aligned with LEED 8.1 certification standards.
New 64-bit native support
The new native 64-bit support enhances Revit Architecture’s ability to handle large projects, improving performance and stability for memory-intensive tasks such as rendering, printing, model upgrades, and file import/export.
Exclusive Autodesk Subscription benefits
Subscribers gain access to exclusive product downloads and updates, ensuring they always have the latest tools and features.
Work Sharing Monitor
Manage team collaboration more effectively by gaining insight into model sharing and synchronization on the Revit platform. The Work Sharing Monitor stores remote model instances centrally, allowing engineering teams to select the best synchronization and collaboration methods tailored to project needs.
Batch printing
The new batch printing utility simplifies the delivery of printed engineering drawings, minimizing costly and time-consuming printing errors. It enhances control and management of drawings, ensuring timely and accurate publication of project information.
