Revit Architecture 2008

• Bidirectional Associativity A change anywhere is a change everywhere. In Revit® Architectue software, all model information is stored in one place. As a result, any information that gets changed is effectively changed throughout the model.

 
• Schedules Schedules are just another view of the Revit Architecture model. Work in any appropriate view of the building, including schedules. A change to a schedule view is automatically reflected in every other view and vice versa. Functionality includes associative split-schedule sections and selectable design elements via schedule views, formulas, and filtering.

 
• Parametric Components Parametric Components, also known as families, are the basis for all building components designed in Revit Architecture. They offer an open, graphical system for design thinking and form making as well as an opportunity to express design intent at increasingly detailed levels. 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. Best of all, no programming language or coding is required.

 
• Design Options Develop and study multiple simultaneous design alternatives to make key design decisions. Present multiple schemes to your clients easily. Substitute each option into the model for visualization, quantification, and other data analysis to inform decision making.

 
• Detailing Take advantage of the extensive detail library and detailing tools provided with Revit Architecture. Presorted to align with the CSI format, detail libraries can be tailored to accommodate your office standards. Create, manage, and share your own detail library.

 
• Material Takeoff Calculate detailed material quantities with the new Material Takeoff tool. Appropriate for applications such as sustainable design, and checking material quantities in cost estimates, Material Takeoff simplifies the tracking of material quantities. As your project evolves, the Revit Building parametric change engine helps to ensure that your material takeoffs are always up-to-date and accurate.

 
• Revit Building Maker Access a better workflow for common conceptual and schematic tasks. Easily create expressive forms to produce an overall massing study. Import conceptual massing from applications such as Form-Z, Rhino, Sketchup?, and AutoCAD® 2007, or other ACISR or NURBS (nonuniform rational B-spline) based applications. Turn them into mass objects in Revit Architecture. Then select faces to design walls, roofs, floors, and curtain systems. You can even use tools to extract important information such as gross area per floor.

 
• Interference Check Use interference checking to scan your model for collisions between elements.

 
• Import/Export Capabilities Revit Architecture supports a wide range of industry standards and file formats, including DGN, DWG, DWF, DXF, IFC, SAT, SKP, AVI, ODBC, gbXML, BMP, JPG, TGA, and TIF.
  In addition to transferring standard lines, arcs, and circles, Revit Architecture can also transfer complex 3D model geometry for use in programs such as AutodeskR VIZ or Autodesk® 3ds Max® software. This capability provides opportunities to create stunning photorealistic interior and exterior renderings.

 
• Autodesk 2D and 3D DWF Integration Revit Architecture supports complete round-tripping of markups with Autodesk® Design Review software. Because Autodesk Design Review software¡¦s markup capabilities combine with Revit Architecture navigation and revision management capabilities, tracking changes is easy. There¡¦s no need to reenter information. Revit Architecture supports publishing a model to 2D or 3D DWF format. This capability provides high-impact, dynamic communication of design information in a lightweight format. It¡¦s great for including nontechnical participants in the project review process.
