Autodesk Software: Building Design
AutoCAD Architecture
AutoCAD® Architecture software is better for architects. Creating and sharing accurate drafting and construction documents is much more efficient with the system’s familiar environment, flexible implementation options, and easy-to-use architectural drawing and design tools. The industry-leading DWG file format enables coordinated collaboration between engineers and design professionals. Intuitive features inspire more creative work, while integrated rendering brings client presentations to life. AutoCAD® Architecture provides smooth collaboration, flexible implementation options, and immediate productivity for architects familiar with AutoCAD® software

AutoCAD MEP
Increase productivity, accuracy, and coordination—from conceptual design through construction documentation—with AutoCAD® MEP software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers, and drafters. Automate production of construction documents using enhanced single-line and double-line system design and layout tools. And minimize coordination errors between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design teams as well as with architects and structural engineers.

Revit Architecture
Revit® Architecture software works the way you 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, so you work holistically, rather than with isolated elements such as floor plans, sections, and elevations. And with parametric change technology any change you make, anytime, anywhere, is automatically coordinated everywhere in your project—model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections, and plans—you name it. Design and documentation stay coordinated, consistent, and complete.

You Have the Choice
Chances are you already have a significant investment in industry-leading AutoCAD® software. But you also want the competitive advantage of building information modeling. With Autodesk® AutoCAD® Revit® Series-Building 9, migration is easy. Get all the latest AutoCAD functionality, while adding the competitive advantage that comes with automatically coordinated construction documents. Prepare design proposals with Autodesk® Revit® Building software and finish construction documents with AutoCAD. Accelerate decision making with Revit Building in the design phase, and then enhance details with AutoCAD.
You also can use Autodesk Revit Building to minimize tedious updating tasks and costly coordination errors, while deploying AutoCAD for projects requiring large pools of trained staff. This workflow means shorter production times, better and faster decision making, and the ability to win more work through the rapid visualization of design options.
Revit Structure
Revit® Structure software integrates a multimaterial physical model with an independently editable analytical model for efficient analysis, design, and documentation. Create models from scratch or import architectural files, whether industry-standard 2D format or from AutoCAD® Architecture, Revit® Architecture, or IFC files.

Overview
Autodesk® Revit® Structure software provides coordination and change management through fully integrated physical and analytical modeling for structural engineering, analysis, design, and documentation.
Increase Efficiency
Does your engineering team spend too much time on laborious and repetitive tasks, such as entering the same information for various analysis models and again for construction documents? Autodesk Revit Structure provides a timesaving solution that enables engineers to create a single building model for different types of analyses and for all construction documents.
Improve Accuracy and Consistency
Are you looking for a better way to handle design changes and reduce coordination errors? Autodesk Revit Structure minimizes manual view updates as well as the headaches associated with last-minute changes. Every drawing sheet, every 2D and 3D view, every detail, and every schedule is a direct representation of the same underlying building database, so a change anywhere is updated everywhere. What's more, in Revit Structure all construction documentation accurately reflects any design change resulting from linked third-party analysis.
Better Design Flexibility and Coordination
What if you could improve coordination among the entire design team? Autodesk Revit Structure models link to Autodesk® Architectural Desktop, Autodesk® Revit® Building, Autodesk® Building Systems, and Autodesk® Revit® Systems for efficient coordination between structural engineers, MEP engineers, and architects. And, Revit Structure enables you to easily accommodate changes late in the project for better design flexibility.
AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite
AutoCAD® Revit® Architecture Suite turns unparalleled flexibility to maximum advantage. Combining the time-tested, industry-leading AutoCAD® software with the immediate benefits of the Revit® Architecture building information modeling (BIM) application, this solution protects your software, training, and design data investments; speeds creative design work; and enhances coordination of your presentations and documentation. You make the switch to BIM at your own pace.
