Key features of Autodesk Revit

Articulate form in the Revit massing environment with free-form tools for profiling and massing. Refine geometry parametrically in the project environment.

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

Understand the carbon impact of your projects from concept design using the Revit add-on for Insight. Bring your Revit Energy Analytical Model into Insight to assess building performance trade-offs. Run carbon reduction scenarios and make informed design decisions to support low carbon approaches to design.

Add architectural elements to the building model, including walls, doors and windows, or define custom components and families to meet any modelling need and level of detail.

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

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

Quickly create and modify multi-storey buildings by connecting stairs to the levels in your project.

Create toposolids and site elements with new modelling capabilities in Revit. Use snap to 3D points for underlay geometry, including linked DWG files, to ensure precise alignment.

Use accurate and versatile structural analysis tools to assess and adapt design intent as your model develops. Automate analytical representation, run multiple analyses from a single intelligent model, schedule data for documentation and assure quality control of structural design. New in Revit 2023.

Create 3D reinforcement designs for cast-in-place and precast concrete structures. Produce reinforcement shop drawing documentation with rebar schedules.

Model connections with a higher level of detail using a variety of parametric steel connections in Revit or by creating your own custom steel connexions.

Integrate analysis results into the BIM process and work in an iterative design workflow.

Computational design gives structural engineers, designers and detailers tools to build structures with minimal energy and make their own design tools.

Interoperability between Revit and Advance Steel helps provide a seamless BIM workflow from steel design to fabrication.

Electrical engineers and designers working in Revit can now use an architect’s PDF, DWG or Revit geometry to perform preliminary load calculations earlier in the design process – before modelling electrical equipment.

Systems Analysis optimises your HVAC systems design and modelling, letting you make data-driven design decisions.

Design complex duct and pipe systems to express intent, and model duct and pipe systems with mechanical design content.

Design, model and document electrical systems. Keep track of electrical loads throughout the distribution system.

Create sanitary plumbing systems with sloped piping and layout piping systems to design and document intent.

Create fabrication-ready models in Revit. You can model and coordinate MEP LOD 400 components.

Insight lets you optimise building performance with centralised access to performance data and advanced analysis engines.

Use the Design to Fabrication tool to convert design-level model elements to construction level-of-detail elements.

Document model layout more effectively. Document, schedule and tag fabrication elements.

Derive construction insight from design models. Split and manipulate wall layers and concrete pours and prepare shop drawings for fabrication.

Customise and add accurate, manufacturable building product templates into your designs for immediate validation and faster design cycles. Reuse the same pre-validated products throughout your design project (or several projects) to save time and increase capacity for your team.

Open a Navisworks coordination model directly in Revit to coordinate your design with the work of teams that use different software.

Bring AutoCAD files in or out of Revit and prepare sheet sets for export to fabricators, subcontractors or other project stakeholders in the format they need.

Augment design-intent models with the detail necessary to meet the requirements of construction teams.

Track your constructability issues across design with the Revit Issues Add-in as your team makes changes.

Sync your data to the Autodesk Construction Cloud mobile app to ensure that members of your team can complete tasks from anywhere on the construction site, with access to project data even when offline.

Quickly produce design alternatives based on goals and constraints that you define. Available for Revit 2025 subscribers. (video: 2:46 mins)

Automate and optimise BIM workflows with an open-source graphical programming interface that installs with Revit.

Tap into the core functionality of Autodesk Revit, enabling you to automate tasks, extend features and create custom workflows to streamline your building design and modelling processes.
