Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011

Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 software designed specially for architects and designers and allows them to work naturally, design freely and deliver projects efficiently. Purpose-built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), Revit Architecture helps users explore design concepts and forms, and better maintain their design data through documentation and construction. Share essential BIM data with partners for a more collaborative, integrated building design process.

Top features:

Complete Projects
Autodesk Revit Architecture software’s conceptual design features provide efficient tools for freeform modeling and parametric design, enabling user to analyze designs from the earliest stages of development. Sketch freely, create 3D forms quickly, and manipulate forms interactively. Prepare your models for fabrication and construction with integrated tools for conception and clarification of complex forms. Autodesk Revit Architecture automatically builds a parametric framework around forms as you design, offering advanced levels of creative control, precise, and flexibility.

Functional Forms
The Building Maker feature in Autodesk Revit Architecture helps user transform conceptual forms into fully functional building designs. Select and add faces to design walls, roofs, floors, and curtain systems. Extract important building information, including gross area per floor. Bring conceptual massing concepts from applications such as AutoCAD® software and Autodesk® Maya® software as well as AutoDesSys form Z®, McNeel Rhinoceros®, Google™ SketchUp®, or other ACIS®- or NURBS-based applications into Autodesk Revit Architecture as mass objects, and begin schematic design.

Coordinated, Precise Design Information
Work naturally, design freely, and deliver efficiently within a single environment. Autodesk Revit Architecture generates every schedule, drawing sheet, 2D view, and 3D view from a single foundational database, automatically coordinating changes across all facets and presentations as your project develops and evolves.

Bidirectional Associativity
In Autodesk Revit Architecture, all model information is stored in a single, coordinated database. Revisions and alterations to information are automatically updated throughout the model, minimizing errors and omissions.

Schedules
Changes to a schedule view are automatically reflected in all other views. Functionality includes associative split-schedule sections and selectable design elements via schedule views, formulas, and filtering.

Detailing
Detail libraries can be created, shared, and tailored.

Parametric Components
Parametric components, or families, are the basis for all building components designed in Autodesk Revit Architecture. Use parametric components for elaborate assemblies, such as cabinetry and equipment, as well as for elementary building parts, such as walls and columns.

Material Takeoff
Calculate detailed material quantities with Material Takeoff. Great for better calculation of material quantities on sustainable design projects and cost estimates, Material Takeoff helps smooth the material quantity tracking process. As projects evolve, the Autodesk Revit Architecture parametric change engine updates material takeoffs.

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

Task-Based User Interface
The Autodesk Revit Architecture user interface offers desktop organization through a large drawing window and access to the tools and commands. Tools are organized into a collection of tabs and panels to represent architectural workflows such as creation, annotation, or collaboration.

Design Visualization
Create and capture photoreal design ideas and contextual environments to help experience the project. Integrated mental ray® rendering software is easy to use and delivers high-quality output, faster render times, and a striking design presentation.

Native 64-bit Support
Native 64-bit support enhances Autodesk Revit Architecture software’s ability to handle grand projects and helps improve performance and stability for memory-intensive tasks such as rendering, printing, model upgrading, and file importing and exporting.

Support for Sustainable Design
Export building information, including materials and room volumes, to gbXML (green building extensible markup language). Perform energy analysis using Autodesk® Green Building Studio® webbased services, study building performance employing Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis software. Use Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software to help evaluate indoor lighting analysis in support of LEED® 8.1 certification.
