What Revit is

Revit is a Building Implementation Modelling (BIM) software which enables you to draft 3d and 2d architectural renderings. Peculiar to Revit is its ability to create a complete drawing package which covers all phases involved in the design and building process. Its feasibility covers architectural designs, structural engineering, preconstruction design, MEP engineering and detailing. It is useful for conceptual design, 3d parametric modelling, detailed design documentation, Design visualization, and construction documentation, just to name a few.
