Thus, in all it helps architects, interior designers, MEP engineers, structural engineers and contractors to plan, design, construct, operate, track and maintain different stages of a building lifecycle from cradle to the grave.Īutodesk created different versions of Revit for specialization and focusing in different areas, like Revit Building, Revit Structure and Revit MEP. Software helps to improve the mode and quality of work by providing facilities/options that can engage practically in every stage of project development such as conceptualizing the project, zoning, planning & framework, designing and detailing, visualising, structural designing and specification, implanting services, estimation & scheduling, execution and finally, monitoring. It covers aspect and areas ranging from, ‘designing a building and its part in 3-dimension’, ‘detail the model for easy outputs in the form of 3D model or 2D drawings’ and finally ‘access, extract or exchange building data from the building model’s record/database in order to support decision making regarding a project’. Over the period of 17 years, the software has gone through numerous updates, helping increase the productivity in architects’ office.
