Autodesk Revit 7 for building design - a better way of working Based on parametric modelling technology, Autodesk Revit 7 - included in AutoCAD Revit Series 7 - incorporates new features that support the creative process and deliver greater levels of productivity, including dramatic advances in conceptual design modelling.
The latest version of the software includes: * Autodesk Revit Building Maker: A powerful conceptual modelling and design environment that captures both design intent and building detail at the moment of conceptualisation.
Conceptual building forms are mapped to real-world building elements by the designer as the design progresses, for the best possible understanding of the relationship between expressive and built form; * Enhanced Parametric Components: An open, graphical system for design thinking and form-making now includes more powerful capabilities for parametric modular design, so elements such as hotel rooms or residential units can be altered and replicated quickly and easily throughout the design model; * Tools to streamline core drawing tasks: From revision tables and legends for tracking changes in construction documents to vectorial shadows in elevation views, new tools in Autodesk Revit 7 help project teams validate design concepts and create compelling and intuitive presentations for clients.
AutoCAD 2005 - An industry standard in CAD productivity AutoCAD is the world's leading customisable and extendable CAD drafting software.
