How to Build Your Own Autodesk Revit

Add architectural elements to the building model, including walls, doors, and windows, or define custom components and families to meet any modeling need and level of detail

Articulate form in the Revit massing environment with free-form tools for profiling and massing. Refine geometry parametrically in the project environment

Derive construction insight from design models. Split and manipulate wall layers and concrete pours and prepare shop drawings for fabrication

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

Quickly produce design alternatives based on goals and constraints that you define

Communicate design intent effectively with tools for tagging, dimensioning, and illustrating in 2D and 3D

Augment design-intent models with the detail necessary to meet the requirements of construction teams

Create project sheets and add your drawings and schedules to them. Customize title blocks and manage revisions

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

Use the Design to Fabrication tool to convert design-level model elements to construction level-of-detail elements

Use advanced simulation engines and building performance data integrated in Revit to assess daylighting, whole building energy, heating and cooling loads, and more

Use accurate and versatile structural analysis tools to assess and adapt design intent as your model develops. Automate analytical representation, run multiple analyses from a single intelligent model

Integrate analysis results into the BIM process and work in an iterative design workflow

Electrical engineers and designers working in Revit can now use an architect's PDF, DWG, or Revit geometry to perform preliminary load calculations earlier in the design process

Understand the carbon impact of your projects from concept design using the Revit add-on for Insight. Run carbon reduction scenarios and make informed design decisions

Coordinate your project and collaborate with consultants on files hosted in Autodesk Docs

Support collaboration and a common data environment for coordinating projects with consultants on files hosted in Autodesk Docs

Revit cloud worksharing and BIM Collaborate Pro support collaboration and a common data environment

Sync your data to the Autodesk Construction Cloud mobile app to ensure that members of your team can complete tasks from anywhere on the jobsite, with access to project data even when offline

Save, sync, review, and update work to a centrally shared model in the Revit project collaboration environment

Extend Revit functionality with Dynamo, API access, developer solutions, and BIM content on the Autodesk App Store

Automate and optimize BIM workflows with an open-source graphical programming interface that installs with Revit

Computational design gives structural engineers, designers, and detailers tools to build structures with minimal energy and make their own design tools

Tap into the core functionality of Autodesk Revit, enabling you to automate tasks, extend features, and create custom workflows to streamline your building design and modeling processes

Bring AutoCAD files in or out of Revit, and prepare sheet sets for export to fabricators, subcontractors, or other project stakeholders in the format they need

Revit imports, exports, and links with commonly used BIM and CAD file formats, including IFC, 3DM, SKP, OBJ, and STEP

Interoperability between Revit and Advance Steel helps provide a seamless BIM workflow from steel design to fabrication

Open a Navisworks coordination model directly in Revit to coordinate your design with the work of teams that use different software

Track your constructability issues across design with the Revit Issues Add-in as your team makes changes

Define project phases (including demolition and renovation) and apply phase filters to views and schedules to show the project during various stages of work

Track changes and revisions made to your building model after sheets have been issued

Start Twinmotion directly from Revit. Sync design data and immerse yourself in the intuitive creator environment to bring your design to life as photorealistic stills, scenes, and animations

Control visibility by hiding, revealing, and highlighting building elements. Use overrides to customize appearance

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