Key features of Autodesk Revit

The evolving features and multi-discipline toolsets in Revit® can help every architecture, engineering, and construction professional do their best work as individuals and in teams.

Parametric components

Place walls, doors, and windows in an open, graphical, and parameter-rich system for design and form-making.

Worksharing

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

Schedules

Use tables to better capture, filter, sort, display, and share project data.

Interoperability

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

Annotation

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

Global parameters

Embed design intent with project-wide parameters that work with radial and diameter dimensions and equality constraints.  

Developer tools and solutions

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

Generative Design in Revit

Evaluate and compare design alternatives at scale with Generative Design in Revit. Available exclusively to AEC Collection subscribers.

Visibility settings and overrides

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

Twinmotion for Revit

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

Standard and custom family content

Load content from the Autodesk cloud into a Revit project or create your own libraries of building components.

Personalization and customization

Customize the user interface to fit, with configurable keyboard shortcuts, ribbons, and toolbars. 

Multi-discipline toolsets in Revit

Architectural design

Conceptual design tools

Articulate form in the Revit massing environment with freeform tools for profiling and massing, and refine geometry parametrically in the project environment.


Analysis with Insight

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


Architectural modeling

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.


Point cloud tools

Use scanning tools to capture existing and as-built conditions and import into Revit as point clouds.


3D design visualization

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


Multistory stairs

Quickly create and modify multistory buildings by connecting stairs to the levels in your project.


Cloud rendering

Produce photorealistic visualizations without tying up your desktop or using special rendering hardware.
