Why Revit Architecture?
"With my first project on Revit I managed to get used to thinking from a Revit perspective and
got my working drawings out to Council within two weeks - this gave me huge confidence in
the software itself as I was doing both the design drawings and the schedules. The next
project took me two days - a huge jump in pace. Any new software is scary at first, if you
don't know how to structure your time but the leaps it has enabled me to make have been
amazing.
"I believe Revit is an incredibly well-priced product when I look at the value and efficiency it has brought to my business."

Revit Architecture 2011
Purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM) |
Autodesk Revit Architecture building design software helps architects and designers to capture and analyse early concepts, and to maintain designs better through documentation and construction. Enjoy a more collaborative, integrated building design process by sharing essential BIM data with your partners, and use BIM workflows to help drive more efficient sustainable design analysis, clash detection, construction planning and material fabrication.
- Conceptual design tools—Define conceptual forms and geometry as real building components for a smoother transition to design development
- Bi-directional associativity—Any information that gets changed is changed throughout the model
- Parametric components—The basis for all building components designed in Autodesk Revit Architecture
- Revit Building Maker—A more seamless way to turn conceptual forms into functional designs
- Schedules—A change to a schedule view is automatically reflected in every model view
- Detailing—An extensive detail library and detailing tools
- Design visualisation—Capture design ideas in a photorealistic state

| Success story: Equilibrium Studio Architects |
The architects who created the winning submission in South
Africa's Statue of Freedom competition, Sue Clark and Jens Jüterbock of Equilibrium Studio Architects, realised their
ideas for the iconic project using Autodesk Revit software.
Jüterbock had been an Autodesk Revit user for about 18 months when he used it to create the conceptual images required for the competition submission. The team was under extreme pressure. It started the project in January 2005 and had to make its first submission just three months later.
"360 degrees around the structure, no two elevations are similar. It's not like a square or rectangular structure where you can copy and mirror an elevation to create a new one. So the ease with which we could create elevations, as well as sections, was an enormous benefit."
Jüterbock is realising extensive time savings in the creation of working drawings, which are being generated from data contained in the project model.

Equilibrium Studio
"It wasn't a conventional structure, more like a sculpture, so there were initially some setbacks.
I, unfortunately, attributed the incorrect properties to the tubes. They should have been walls, not structural elements. So I had to re-do a lot of work."
Once he overcame his initial frustrations, Jüterbock says the software was worth its weight in gold, especially when it came to creating elevations. |
