Bidirectional associativity
In Revit, all model information is stored in one place. Any information that gets changed is effectively changed throughout the Revit model.
Conceptual design tools
Revit software offers easy-to-use conceptual design tools that support your creative flow.
HVAC/electrical design room color-fill plans
Communicate design intent visually with room color-fill plans.
Piping and electrical content
Many types of electrical content—including communications, fire safety, data, and nurse call—are available from within Revit.
System browser
Gain greater flexibility during design, and focus on the systems that are important to you with the system browser feature.

Create and name custom duct and piping system types.
Sloped piping
In Revit software for MEP engineering, sloped piping tools support enhanced productivity for piping design.
Multiple materials modeling
Revit software for structural engineering includes building materials such as steel, cast-in-place concrete, pre-cast concrete, masonry, and wood.
Software for BIM documentation
Revit® software delivers tools that support documentation needs in architectural design, MEP engineering, structural engineering, and construction. View BIM documentation features that make it an ideal solution for the entire building project team.
