Some are ‘marketed to muliple types of user. The diferent marketing strategies land to ‘package with different collections of functionality In ths review, we do not ‘uldess these different uses but consider the major BIM platforms generically, From the perspective ofits primary product, with references to other products running onthe same platform.

It vas introduced by Autodesk in 2002 after Autodesk acquired the Revi program frm a startup company: Revits a completly separate platform from AutoCAD, with a different code base and file structure. The version reviewed here is 2011. Revit sa family of integrated products that curently includes Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit MEP. It runs on Win- dows OS and on Macs, using the Windows BootCamp® plugin. I runson both 52. and 64.bit processors and versions of the OS. fl 4 4 i : 78 Copier?

Revit supports the development of new custom parametric objects andcustom- ination of predefined objects ts ruleset fr defining objects has improved with each release and includes trigonometric functions.

It carces information for about 850 diferent companies, and about 15,750 diferent product lines (Gncluding over 750 light atures).

Innovay also provides 4D simulation links with Primavera and MS Project schedules. Revit also supports links to Autodesk Naviswork through DWF.

Previously these were visible but not referencable. "They are now referencable in Version 2011 (Ceferencable™ here means that ‘users can slect points on the objects, allowing dimensionelly accurate refer- cencing, rather thn visual dimensional coordination).
