MODELING
Simply a Better Way of Working
Revit
®
Architecture software works the way you think. The
innovative building design and documentation system helps
you work naturally, design freely, and deliver eciently.
Purpose-built for building
information modeling
(BIM), Revit Architecture
mirrors the real world
of buildings, so you work
holistically, rather than
with isolated elements
such as floor plans,
sections, and elevations.
And with parametric
change technology
any change you make,
anytime, anywhere, is
automatically coordinated
everywhere in your
project—model views,
drawing sheets, schedules,
sections, and plans—
you name it. Design and
documentation stay
coordinated, consistent,
and complete.
Bidirectional Associativity
A change anywhere is a change everywhere. All
Revit Architecture model information is stored in
one place. As a result, any information that gets
changed is eectively changed throughout the
model. For instance, sections and elevations are
computed on demand in a fraction of the time
required to draw the sections by hand or with tra-
ditional computer-aided design (CAD) applications.
Revit Architecture helps to ensure that building
sections and elevations are immediately available,
up-to-date, and accurate.
Parametric Components
Parametric Components, also known as families,
are the basis for all building components designed
within Revit Architecture. They oer an open,
graphical system for design thinking and form
making as well as an opportunity to express design
intent at increasingly detailed levels. With no need
for programming language or code, you can use
Parametric Components for the most elaborate
assemblies, such as cabinetry and equipment, as
well as for the most elemental building parts, such
as walls and columns.
Building information modeling (BIM) is the creation and use of coordinated, consistent, computable information about a building
project in design—information used for design decision-making, production of high-quality construction documents, predicting per-
formance, cost-estimating, and construction planning, and, eventually, for managing and operating the facility.
