Detailed discussion on included collections.

Revit: Revit is a software developed by Autodesk for Building Information Modeling (BIM) purposes. It is widely used by architects, engineers, and construction professionals to design, plan, manage, and construct buildings and infrastructure. BIM is a digital representation of a building’s physical and functional characteristics, and Revit is specifically designed to simplify the process of creating and managing this information throughout the entire lifecycle of the building.

Features of Revit

• Increase your modeling efficiency by utilizing perspective views directly in your workflow.
• Apply tags to imported or linked items to keep your model organized and easily identifiable.
• Use the Split Element tool on structural columns and framing elements to create more precise connections and ensure adherence to the latest standards.
• Easily resize runs of corresponding fabrication parts using the Properties palette or the Edit Parts dialog.
• When using automatic fill tools, it’s possible to exclude certain fabrication parts.
• Change the service on MEP fabrication parts in a model using the Properties palette with ease.
• Adjust the size (diameter) of hanger support rods while maintaining accurate costing data.
• Add, remove, or change the type of fabrication parts that support built-in dampers.
• To achieve greater accuracy in your designs, make sure to take advantage of the Split Element and Split with Gap tools when working with straight components for manufacturing purposes.
