Revit Structure and Revit Architecture
Summary
The use of a Revit building information model gives structural firms an integrated modeling
environment for analysis and documentation – so that the structural design and
documentation are coordinated, consistent, and complete. Leveraging existing
architectural digital design information and sharing the structural building information
model with architects and engineers further coordinates the building design and
documentation – a winning combination for all parties involved in the design, construction
and operation of a building.
About Revit
The Revit platform is Autodesk's purpose-built solution for building information modeling.
®
Applications such as Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit MEP built on the Revit
platform are complete, discipline-specific building design and documentation systems
supporting all phases of design and construction documentation. From conceptual studies
through the most detailed construction drawings and schedules, applications built on Revit
help provide immediate competitive advantage, better coordination and quality, and can
contribute to higher profitability for architects and the rest of the building team.
At the heart of the Revit platform is the Revit parametric change engine, which
automatically coordinates changes made anywhere — in model views or drawing sheets,
schedules, sections, plans... you name it.
