What is Autodesk Revit?
Autodesk Revit is a software solution with tools for planning, designing, visualising and coordinating all types of construction projects from sketch to final result. Revit delivers 3D and BIM design capabilities for architects, engineers, and construction professionals and allows for the efficient creation and management of detailed 3D models and collaborative building projects throughout the project lifecycle.
Changes are updated instantly throughout the model, and the data can be integrated into other programs. Autodesk Revit covers all disciplines and makes collaboration between architecture, construction, building services and contractors easy and seamless. In addition, Autodesk Revit allows you to present your projects with 3D visualisations, videos and VR.
Who can benefit from Autodesk Revit
- Architects
- Structural engineers
- MEP engineers
- other construction professionals
who are involved in the design, coordination, and documentation of buildings.

How is Revit different from AutoCAD and Revit LT?
In AutoCAD-based projects, work is typically distributed across multiple files for plans, sections, elevations, and details, which requires a high degree of manual coordination.
In Revit, the project is created in one shared model where drawings, schedules, and quantities are generated directly from the same data.
Multiple users can work in the model at the same time, and changes are reflected consistently throughout the project.
Revit LT is a simplified version intended for smaller projects, while full Revit supports advanced collaboration, automation, and multi-user workflows.
What are the technical requirements for getting started with Revit?
Revit runs on 64-bit Windows and is designed for professional workstations. For most projects, sufficient RAM, a dedicated graphics card, and fast SSD storage are recommended.
Hardware requirements depend on project size and complexity, and professional guidance is often used to determine suitable workstation setups.
Which file formats does Revit support?
Revit supports common industry formats, making it easy to exchange data with other software and project partners:
- DWG / DXF
- IFC
- RVT / RFA
- DGN
- SAT / SKP (import)
How is Revit licensed ?
Revit is available as 1-year and 3-year named user licenses. Licenses are assigned to individual users and can be reassigned as needed.
Is Revit suitable for both small and large projects?
Yes. Revit can be used for both small and large projects.
Smaller teams benefit from having all drawings and data in one coordinated model, while larger projects can take advantage of structured worksharing and multi-user workflows.
Is Revit the right choice if we work across multiple disciplines?
Revit is designed for interdisciplinary projects where architecture, structure, and MEP need to be coordinated.
Each discipline can work in its own model or within the same project, reducing the need for manual coordination between drawings and files.
Can multiple users work in the same Revit project at the same time?
Is Autodesk Revit difficult to learn?
Revit has a learning curve, especially for users who are new to BIM or coming from a traditional AutoCAD-based workflow. However, with a structured approach and clear standards, most users can become productive relatively quickly.
