Revit

Revit is a single BIM (Building Information Modeling) application for architects, structural, MEP engineers and construction professionals. Multiple team members can work on the same project at the same time in a centrally shared model – and all disciplines can use the same software. Working on one unified platform reduces the risk of data translation errors between building disciplines and brings more predictability to the building design process.
Revit for architects
Architects can bring their ideas in Revit from conceptual design to construction documentation. Revit automatically creates accurate floor plans, elevations, sections, 3D views, schedules, material takeoffs and more, all based on the evolving intelligent model. Building performance can be optimized through material analysis, sun position, and solar effects. Visualizations and virtual walk-throughs effectively communicate design concepts.
Revit for structural engineers
Revit supports structural design documentation, minimizes errors and enables coordination between multiple disciplines. Using intelligent model it evaluates conformance with building and safety regulations. An editable analytical model can be used for analysis and fabrication. The result is more accurate design documentation for construction.
Revit for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers
Revit provides MEP engineers with integrated design, analysis, and documentation tools, supporting more accurate and efficient building systems projects from concept through construction. Conduct simulations and interference detection earlier in the design process and help meet requirements for building systems efficiency. Use conceptual energy analysis information as a foundation for engineering-driven calculations. Model for MEP fabrication with tools to automate the fabrication model layout and to help prepare a model for detailed coordination fabrication and installation.
Revit for construction professionals
Revit provides construction professionals with the tools to evaluate constructability and design intent before construction begins and to understand means, methods, and materials, and how they come together. Derive greater construction insight from design models by splitting and manipulating objects, such as wall layers and concrete pours. Prepare shop drawings for fabrication with features that give you greater flexibility in documenting assemblies of model elements.
MASTERING REVIT
Revit is a complex software to conquer. It demands a user who is constantly motivated to overcome bumps on the road. It often requires workarounds, compromises and extra time to derive design intent. Unless a company provides a BIM manager with a deep software knowledge and task to support designers, a single Revit user should have an advanced knowledge of software (features, creating Families …). A fluent Revit workflow is only possible through:
- advanced software knowledge
- standardized templates (project, view …)
- extensive Family libraries
