 Revit Architecture 2009
Simply a Better Way of Working
Revit® Architecture software works the way architects and designers think. The innovative building design and documentation system helps you work naturally, design freely, and deliver efficiently. Purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), Revit Architecture mirrors the real world of buildings, and helps you accurately capture your early design concepts and maintain your vision through design, documentation, and construction. Support sustainable design and perform energy analysis through easy exchange with partner applications. And with parametric change technology any change you make is automatically coordinated everywhere in your project, including model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections, and plans. Design and documentation stay coordinated, consistent, and complete.
Building Information Modeling
Revit Architecture software is purpose-built
for building information modeling (BIM), so it
mirrors the real world of buildings, and helps you
accurately capture your early design concepts.
Drive your vision to reality through innovative design, accurate documentation, and efficient construction. Integrated bidirectional associativity helps to ensure that any change to your project information is reflected throughout your model, while parametric components offffer an open, graphhical
system for conceptualizing and expressing
detailed design intent. More precise conceptual design better informs design decision making and enhances client understanding, while supporting more efficient and sustainable production, construction,
and fabrication.
Building information modeling
Design Thinking, Without Compromise
Revit Architecture helps you stay true to your creative
and practical vision and accurately share it with others.
Your design looks the way you want it to, even as it evolves.

Design Visualization 
The new design visualization feature in Revit Architecture helps you better experience your architectural
projects, even before they are built. A proven,
powerful tool with roots in the entertainment world—the mental ray® rendering engine—is available
for your architectural projects. The advanced capabilities of mental ray in Revit Architecture enable accurate visualizations through the Autodesk® FBX® file format and easy interoperability with Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2009 software.
Swept Blend 
Extending the range of what is achievable during conceptual design and family creation, swept blend functionality offffers more opportunity to express complex forms.
Autodesk 3dD UuI
The Autodesk 3dD UI includes ViewCube™ and SteeringWheels™ technology, two intuitive, interactive
scene navigation tools that offffer a familiar experience
across multiple Autodesk 3dD design products. The 3dD UI enables you to navigate 3dD scenes easily and effffectively, regardless of your level of experience.
Your extended team can apply the same software
skills across difffferent products and disciplines. |

Interface to Energy Analysis
Export building information, including materials and room volumes, to green building extensible markup language (gbXML). Perform energy analysis and study building performance using services from Green Building Studio, Inc., and IES Ltd.
Design Review
Accelerate reviews with the free* Autodesk®
Design Review software, the all-digital way to review, measure, mark up, and track changes to 2dD and 3dD designs without the original design creation software. Because the Design Review markup cappabilities
combine with Revit Architecture navigation and revision management capabilities, tracking changes is easy. There is no need to reenter information. This capability provides high-impact, dynamic communication of design information in a lightweight format. It is great for including nontechnical participants in the project review process. |
Better for Your Business
Clients never expect less—they always want more.
Exceed client expectations with Revit Architecture
software’s timesaving workflow. Streamline your
individual and team processes and deliver more
complete documents and higher-quality designs.
Win more business with clear and complete pres
entations. Integrate better with other Autodesk
products in your workflow. With Revit Architecture, you keep your clients coming back.

Schedules
Schedules are just another view of the Revit
Architecture model. Changes to a schedule view
are automatically reflected in every other view,
and vice versa. Functionality includes associative
split-schedule sections and conditional filtering.
Interference Check
Use interference checking to scan your model for
collisions between elements.
Site Terrain Surfaces
Provide site context for the building and create all contour lines and hatch patterns in sections
and elevations, saving time and minimizing
tedious hatching chores.
Detailing
Take advantage of the extensive detail library and detailing tools provided in Revit Architecture. Presorted to align with the CSI format, detail libraries can be tailored to accommodate your office standards. Create and share your own detail library.
Coordination Monitor
Coordinate changes across models. Work smarter with engineers from other disciplines. Monitor
changes to grids, levels, columns, walls, and slabs.
Approve or reject changes, and attach comments
for review. |

Material Takeoff
Calculate detailed material quantities with the
Material Takeoff tool. Appropriate for applications
such as sustainable design, and for checking material quantities in cost estimates, Material Takeoff simplifies the tracking of material quantities. As a
project evolves, the Revit Architecture parametric change engine helps to ensure that material takeoffs are always up-to-date.
Worksharing Monitor
(Available Through
Autodesk Subscription - English Only)
Manage team collaboration by gaining crucial
visibility into the Revit platform’s model sharing
and synchronization process. The Revit worksharing
monitor helps to bring remote model instances
back into the central file, enabling project teams to
choose the best way to synchronize and collaborate
in order to meet project requirements.
Batch Printing
(Available Through Autodesk
Subscription - English Only)
Deliver printed document sets with greater ease and avoid costly, time-consuming printing errors. Revit Architecture software’s new batch printing utility offers better management and improved document control to help ensure that your information is published on time, as expected. |

On Your Screen, the Way You Think
Revit Architecture helps drive your building designs forward, without getting in the way.
Work in any view. Design throughout the differ-ent phases of your process, and revise even major design elements as you progress. Create comprehensive
design proposals faster. Use intuittive
3dD views and instant shadows to realize your ideas as they evolve. Every change you make is automatically and instantly updated across all plans, schedules, and construction documents, helping to make versioning errors a thing of the past.
Stacked Walls
This wall type is ideal for walls of varying thickness and vertical materiality. Use Revit Architecture
to stack difffferent wall types and control them as
one entity.
Family Editor
A graphical editing mode for the creation of Parametric Components, the Family Editor enables easy creation, customization, and direct loading of doors, windows, annotation types, and virtually anything else.
Revit Groups
Revit groups provide a modular design technique ideal for building types comprising many rooms of similar size, shape, or configuration such as hospitals, hotels, and apartment buildings.
Sun Studies
Revit Architecture sun studies enable you to quickly
analyze sun positions and solar effects while informing and influencing design strategy. Choose a spec-ific date and time, or time frame, to generate astill or animated sun study.

Dimension Improvements
Dimension improvements offffer new flexible
options for expressing dimension text by conveying
more than just length values in the dimension string. New dimension text enables you to add a variety of supplemental text to a dimension string without damaging the integrity of the building information model by overriding dimension values.
Revision Schedules
Enhancements give added flexibility and control to the display of revision schedules. New attributes enable you to reverse the direction of schedules and to control whether the schedule should build dynamically or be of fixed size. In addition, a new Issued By property has been added and schedules can be rotated on title blocks to achieve the various needs of individual firms.
Room Tag Improvements
Enhancements to the behavior of room tags offer new flexibility to project documentation, as well
as tighter integration between rooms and tags. The sbility to move room tags based on their proximity to the room origin and to tag all rooms that have not been previously tagged saves time, while free rotation
of room tags invites new documentation
styles. |
