Why do Architects choose AutoDesk Revit Software for BIM Modeling Projects? (2024)

As we all know that BIM is a methodology, we need the right kind of software to implement it. Of all the software that works on BIM methodology, Revit software is the best software that is being used by major companies in the AEC Industry. It is one of the very few software which is made by keeping in mind the design and models that are created using BIM technology. Revit software allows its users to access the information that contains every single design and module which can be seen by every single person involved in the project. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of the Revit software and why Architects use this particular software for executing BIM Modeling Projects.

Revit provides enough flexibility and unique features and has enabled the interior designers to create the design as per their visualization. Revit software is used typically for complex and large-scale projects. It offers the technical commands and a different design process to stand out from the other software so that Architects can create the design according to the requirements of the project. For example, Drafting studio, CNC controlled tools, and fabrication show. Now, we will discuss some of the advantages that the Revit software provides to the Architects and proves itself as a fantastic tool.

Top Features and Advantages of Revit Software are as follows:

1. 3D Visualization of the project

In Revit software, the Architects can visualize the whole project and quickly design the layout of the project with the help of vector image families. This enables the architects to go through the various components and their cycle in the project and then decide the right objects. This will give a visual description of the whole project as the architects keep developing it. So, designing the objects in this software with keeping the virtual reality in mind becomes easy as Revit allows the Architects to build the same objects as they visualized initially.

2. Adaptable to change

Revit software allows the Architects to make changes at their convenience. For example, one can adjust and change the size of various components of the buildings like doors, chairs, windows, flooring, and rearranging the partition. It is convenient for an Architect or Engineer to make improvements and it is less time-consuming as compared to other BIM Softwares. So without putting in any effort, one can make duplicate components and retain the original design and make edits to it.

3. Vast library

If one has used any digital software, he/she will know that most of the software allows access to the library of data comprising of components and their designs. Mostly, all Architects and Engineers use this library to use any of the components they want in their project. But, here is the twist, Revit Software allows a special feature that no other software allows. It not only allows access to the library but also, keeps the edits or changes made to any of the components. So, the architects and engineers can use it for other projects in the future as well. For example, when you create a 2d drawing of a Chair, Revit Software's library allows you to use that drawing as well as make a duplicate of it for instant use. Thus, one can access the vast library of Revit software and keeps on growing as you design and save new components.

4. Great Teamwork

Revit Software lets all its users share their database with other teams as well so as to let them know what has been built and its effect on other teams' designs. Since we all know that engineers and architects come from various backgrounds, so to understand each other's work becomes necessary in order to have a thorough understanding of the project. Revit makes it possible by bringing all the features which can be accessed by all the architects and engineers across the company. It also keeps the track of items that are ordered at every level. This feature is unique as it lets the other teams know about the orders made at the other departments of the company.

5. Multiple Views

As compared to other software, Revit allows building the single model of any prototype. This allows the users to view the model from various different angles, this includes elevations, floor plans, and 3d view of all other components as well. One doesn't need to have to make various copies at different stages of the design process. Each and every view reflects any changes that are made to the original file.

6. Precise Designs

2D Drawings applications or software may often overwrite the dimensions of a component that resulting in some errors in the design at the final stage. On the other hand, Revit being a 3D software, the documentation is more precise and accurate. It won't let you overwrite the numbers as the 3D model will not allow incorrect numbers in order to lead it in the proper direction. It has become more popular due to the precision that it provides to the users so they don't find it difficult at the end where they make final decisions based upon the designs.

7. Paperless work

Revit is the kind of software that allows its users to create a model by drawing fewer designs as compared to the other software. So, when you design less it means that there are going to be fewer printouts of the designs. As a result, a huge quantity of papers is saved by using Revit software. It records and captures all the required details automatically that the model needs. One can customize the information by giving them unique tags. So, you don’t need to rely on the paper for the documentation of the project's progress. Many of the companies in the AEC Industry have gone paper-free and the remaining ones have also taken steps towards implementing this software.

8. Less Repetition

As we discussed in the above point, Revit software auto-fetches the required data that is needed in the project. In other software, you have to repeatedly change the designs that you made in one particular component in other components as well. As a result, it becomes time-consuming and makes it a complex process. It also leads to errors in other components if the same changes haven’t been made or the component is missed entirely. While Revit is a software where the data is centralized and everyone has the access to all types of designs and components. So the repetitive work is eliminated and it becomes easy to complete the project on or before time as well.

Conclusion:

So you can now see that how Revit has benefited the Architects and the AEC industry as well. It helps you to create the designs of the project easily and sustainably. It helps the architects and engineers to overcome the monotonous work and quickly complete the project with no errors. It provides all the tools that one needs to build a sustainable project. We are witnessing the boom of BIM methodology in the AEC industry. As it is will continue to boom so will the Revit software. If you haven’t started using Revit, now is the right time to do so.
