Revit Structure and Revit Architecture Summary The use of a Revit building information model gives structural firms an integrated modeling environment for analysis and documentation - so that the structural design and documentation are coordinated, consistent, and complete. Leveraging existing architectural digital design information and sharing the structural building information model with architects and engineers further coordinates the building design and documentation - a winning combination for all parties involved in the design, construction and operation of a building. About Revit The Revit platform is Autodesk's purpose-built solution for building information modeling. Applications such as Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit® MEP built on the Revit platform are complete, discipline-specific building design and documentation systems supporting all phases of design and construction documentation. From conceptual studies through the most detailed construction drawings and schedules, applications built on Revit help provide immediate competitive advantage, better coordination and quality, and can contribute to higher profitability for architects and the rest of the building team. At the heart of the Revit platform is the Revit parametric change engine, which automatically coordinates changes made anywhere - in model views or drawing sheets, schedules, sections, plans... you name it.
