Bi-directional Associativity Minimise errors and omissions with the ability to store all model information in a single co-ordinated database. Revisions and alterations to information are automatically updated throughout the model. The Revit parametric change engine automatically co-ordinates changes made anywhere—in model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections and plans.

Bi-directional associativity

Changes made anywhere update everywhere in the model

Parametric Components Express design intent at increasingly detailed levels using parametric components. The basis for all building components designed in Revit, parametric components offer an open, graphical system for design and form-making. Use parametric components for the most elaborate assemblies, such as cabinetry and equipment, as well as for the most elementary building parts, such as walls and columns. No programming language or coding is required.

Graphical system for design and form-making

Worksharing Enable teams to choose a more effective way to collaborate and interact based on their workflow and project requirements. Worksharing distributes the power of the parametric building modelling environment across the project team. Users of Revit software from multiple disciplines can share the same intelligent building information model and save their work to a central file. Worksharing in Revit provides a complete range of collaboration modes from entirely on-the-fly, simultaneous access to the shared model, to the formal division of the project into discrete shared units, to complete separation of project elements or systems into individually managed linked models.

Revit Server Help project teams collaborate more easily on shared Revit models across a wide-area network (WAN) using Revit Server. Maintain an integrated collection of central Revit models on a single server that can be accessed from local servers. Built-in redundancy helps to provide protection in case of WAN connectivity loss.

Bi-directional Links, Multiple Analysis Packages Incorporate structural analysis results in Revit more accurately and quickly. Analysis results automatically update a model that is bi-directionally linked with Robot Structural Analysis Professional software. Parametric change technology co-ordinates those updates throughout your model views and construction drawings. Revit also links to third-party structural analysis and design programs, faciltating the exchange of structural analytical information. The types of information that can be shared include: - Release and boundary conditions - Loads and load combinations - Material and section properties

Bi-directional links, multiple analysis packages

Analysis results automatically update model

Structural Analytical Model Conduct analysis with an analytical model generated automatically while you create a physical model in Revit. Revit generates a physical model to use for documentation and an associated analytical model to use for structural analysis and design. An analytical model is a simplified 3D representation of the full engineering description of a structural physical model. The analytical model consists of those structural components, geometry, material properties and loads that together form an engineering system and can be exported to analysis and design applications
