Revit is the first parametric building modeler. Revit's parametric
building modeler comprises intelligent building components, views,
and annotations. All are both parametric and are associated
bi-directionally through a high-performance change propagation
engine. Revit encourages design changes anywhere, anytime by
rippling any and all design modifications instantly and completely
through the entire documentation set.
Parametric building technology empowers architects to create designs
in ways never before possible. Revit lets architects speak the
language of design while it takes care of all the CAD chores.
Revit's integrated building model is the foundation on which the
entire industry -- architects, engineers, owner/operators, and
construction professionals -- will transform the process by which
buildings are designed, constructed, and operated over their
lifecycle. Revit's parametric building technology is a pivot point
in the history of computers and buildings. Revit has revolutionized
building design.
How does parametric building modeling change my work?
Think of the parametric building modeler in Revit working for you on
multiple levels to ease the task of designing buildings while at the
same time improving the quality of those designs.
For example, a parametric wall understands its relationship to other
building components. The wall might have a fixed height, or it might
extend up to the next story, or it might be attached to the roof.
This design intent is captured in the component. But you might need
to change the pitch of the roof above the wall. That change will
instantly modify the geometry of the wall -- without any explicit
action required by the user. This, in turn, will "revit" (or revise
instantly) all plans, elevations, sections, schedules, dimensions
and other elements.
Now consider how Revit's revolutionary bi-directional associativity
allows you to work in new ways. In Revit, you can drag a wall which
changes its dimension. But more importantly, you can quickly sketch
a rough layout of your walls and then simply type the dimension
values to refine your design. Changes ripple in all appropriate
directions when you change a parametric design element in Revit.
And without any programming, you can create your own parametric
components in the system by simply sketching them. Your components
have all the power of the built-in Revit components.
With Revit, design as never before
Imagine being able to change the scale of a view while the grid
bubbles, line styles, and other parametric annotations update
automatically. Picture being able to change the building and watch
the square footage update in Revit's live area schedule. Think of
being able to collaborate as a team in the design process, using
parametric building technology to merge changes from different team
members.
Now, and for the first time, designers can focus on design, while
the software automatically recognizes relationships that capture
design intent. At the user's discretion, these relationships can
express setbacks, code requirements and other important client and
design constraints.
