Revit. The cornerstone of Building Information Modelling

Those involved in CAD applied to buildings and town planning, BIM (Building Information Modeling) analysis and complexity, are bound to encounter a compulsory step: Autodesk Revit. What makes this software an undisputed masterpiece of BIM planning is its technical/functional and collaborative background: it is capable of bringing together in a shared workflow, synchronised in the cloud, the input and understanding of multiple users from different or distant roles.
In fact, its platform efficiently and accurately supports the drawings and plans required for the entire life cycle of a building. Revit organises relationships between assemblies, works from design to depiction, from data analysis to the time scale of realisation, and also prefigures subsequent management features.

Revit. Always one step ahead

Revit has created a virtuous path: listening to the most exclusive and demanding community, that of design studios engaged in BIM planning. Through the development of operations with a wide functional range, going from modelling to data management, from interoperability between different platforms to the development of new tools for specialised disciplines, Revit has thus been able to rewrite the desires and expectations of the professional world at the highest level, in a single, powerful tool.

The principle of a shared and, above all, coherent and seamless workflow is what is most attractive to the different players in the supply chain today. In this proactive flow, there is ample room for the implementation of the opportunities for collaboration of those responsible for individual models; this makes their development in later phases more efficient and faster.

Furthermore, thanks to Revit’s openness to the flows created by Autodesk’s other 3D software, work is further simplified, leaving the designer ample room to define the relational opportunities between individual structural, physical, mechanical and electrical assemblies and subassemblies.

Components and families actively relating

In Revit, the building components, which are essential for the 3D model, are integrated in perspective views that take into account a variety of requirements. Views within the same building can take on different connotations; for example, components such as beams and walls can be displayed in all views. Conversely, other elements, such as dimensions and labels, are displayed in the view in which they were placed.

Furthermore, each component is always in relation with another element because an association between them is established. It is these rules and links, in particular, that facilitate and automate subsequent changes to the model.

Revit has the ability to organise each component that is added to the model into families.
A family is a group of components defined by the same use, by similar dimensions and shapes. For example, should there be beams of various loads, all the dimensions would still belong to a family of beams. The conceptual importance of Revit’s way of working, which opens up endless development possibilities for each family of components, is therefore evident.

Revit puts the fourth dimension in the worksite

Revit materialises in its views a full and faithful example of reality through three-dimensional, axonometric and perspective elements. However, this is not the only features that characterises the great productive evolution, from a BIM perspective, enabled by Autodesk software.

It is the presence of a fourth dimension, the temporal one, that allows the phases to be studied, processed, set up and managed on the timeline, interposing or, better said, implementing from time to time a realistic correspondence between current conditions and project status. The ability to set up and launch generative drawing analyses directly in the software, without the need for external applications, is a further productive lever made available by Revit.

Then there is the long list in Revit of systemic implementations for the benefit of the designer; from free access to nodes for the better management of inserted elements and their respective families, to preconfigured scripts for the calculations necessary for the use of the building itself. A small example: with Revit it is possible to calculate the shortest route for a rapid evacuation.

Getting to know Revit

Architecture, engineering and structural calculations, mechanical and electrical engineering: with its BIM-based operation, Revit raises the bar of automation, benefiting the entire design and data management process, for a more responsible, participatory and definitive vision of building management modelling.

Autodesk Revit is the Autodesk software used for 3D design in construction. With Revit, it is easy to create 3D forms, structures and systems very precisely and in full compliance with parameters. Revit simplifies the management and review of projects and allows easy work in multidisciplinary teams.

Revit is one of the most popular BIM software among architects, engineers and contractors. Its main feature is the creation of an integrated model to which all professionals involved refer.

Revit is used by professionals, technicians and specialists in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction: architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, civil engineers, builders and building contractors, designers. Revit is a very useful tool for designing, constructing and maintaining buildings, property, civil and industrial infrastructure.

  • Architectural design
  • Structural design
  • Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic engineering and systems
  • Design in the pre-production phase

Revit is a design and documentation platform that supports the drawings and planning required for Building Information Modelling (BIM). The BIM software offers efficiency and accuracy throughout the project’s life cycle, from design, visualisation and analysis, to processing and creation.

Revit is one of the most popular BIM software among architects, engineers and contractors. AutoCAD is Autodesk’s reference software for 2D and 3D design. With AutoCAD you can automate your workflow, collaborate efficiently and fluidly on projects with teams and clients, and create at a higher level thanks to machine learning capabilities.

Autodesk Revit costs EUR 2.775 + VAT per year (licence for 1 user).

The free version of Revit is a trial version, usable for a maximum of 30 days.
The free version of Revit for one year is reserved for teachers and students for educational purposes, and can be renewed if the release requirements are met.
To view an Revit file, you do not need to download the software, but you can open and view the files with Autodesk’s free viewers.

Modelling

In projects carried out with Revit, each drawing and 2D/3D section constitutes a set of information deriving from the same virtual architectural model. Revit allows you to collect information from all other sections of the project and to automatically manage changes in any point, for instance in schedules and plants.

Parameters

Parameters make it possible to establish the dimensions, points, structure and other information corresponding to a component included in a project. Parametric modelling identifies the connection among all the elements of a project, which allow the designer to manage variants in Revit. These connections may be generated automatically by the system or directly by the worker.
