From this ability, the name of the product was drawn ("Revit" is a shortening of the words "Revise It"). The variable changes are automatically propagated to a range of components, views and annotations.įor example, if a wall in a room is moved, placement and values of adjoining and affected walls, floors and roofs would be adjusted accordingly. In Revit, for parametric modeling, the variables are modified via a graphical "family editor," as opposed to using a programming language, as is done in other software. Parametric modeling is the ability to control parameters of a 3D model via variables, as opposed to merely storing them as data. Revit allows a user to model a building in 3D, annotate the model with construction data and access information about the building from a database.Īs such, Revit performs additional functions as compared to typical 3D modeling software that is not specialized to architecture and engineering. Revit also incorporates a feature of AutoCAD and other products called "parametric modeling." For BIM, Autodesk's product is called Revit. Today, all of these industries use a new type of software that makes collaboration and redesign work more efficient, called BIM, which stands for Building Information Modeling. Autodesk also has a suite of other products that assist in the engineering and construction processes, including Buzzsaw, Construct wa re and Navisworks. Autodesk is the company that makes AutoCAD software for the design of buildings and other structures, used by architects, planners, designers, contractors and engineers.ĪutoCAD is generally recognized as the premier industry-standard platform for these fields.
