What is Autodesk Revit used for?

Answer 1

Autodesk Revit is used mainly for 3d building modeling, for example in Architecture to draw home plans. Are 3d objects are smart, meaning they are tied together in plan, section and elevation. If you move the 3d door, it'll show up in the new location in elevation, for example. There's also smart data for material takeoffs and area calculations. The best part is coordinating Architecture with consultants like Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical to find clashes early. For example, seeing the mechanical duct can't go thru a Structural column, we can see it in 3d before it's a problem on the jobsite; therefore, saving a lot of money in mistakes and errors.

Additionally, Revit is a powerful 3D creation tool that can be used to create, essentially, any shape or product that you want to produce, above and beyond the typical AEC industry uses. It can be used to create anything from equipment/machinery models to moving passenger trains (with the help of Windows Movie Maker). On top of that, Revit can also be used as a great visualization tool, in that it can generate video a video walk through, and photo-realistic renderings of whatever you have created in Revit.

Answer 3

Autodesk Revit is a BIM software, which stands for building information modelling. Revit is used in commercial and residential projects to provide a three dimensional image, but also to show the construction plans of the building. The program is front load heavy, meaning that you need to input model information in advance in order to generate a wall component, floor systems, elevation heights, etc... The program does provide a great visual when erecting a building.
