Why Revit is considered to be a leader in BIM?
Revit is the BIM software for engineers, architects, designers and contractors. It designs a structure in 3D, annotates model with 2D drafting and provides information from the building model’s database. Competent in 4D BIM, Revit plans and tracks various stages of the lifecycle of a building starting from the conception of the structure to its stage of demolition. Now, the development of Building Information Modeling is a vital aspect of all building disciplines and Autodesk’s Revit includes various disciplines comprising Architecture, Structure and MEP. So, the parametric models for these disciplines can be easily developed by the architects and engineers. By implementing this software, a structure can be designed with its electrical, plumbing and mechanical equipment.
Let’s check out the advantages of Revit:
Develops Parametric Model — Revit is designed to develop parametric models for buildings in 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D. It allows both the design and the construction professionals to extract project info from parametric models. These models contain rich database, where information about design, structure, operation, resources, schedule, time and material invoice can be effectively preserved. The high-end parametric modeling features of Revit have the potential of developing the whole building in digital form before the beginning of actual construction.
Manipulates Project Environment — Working in Revit project environment helps the users to manipulate building assemblies or the entire building. Modeling tools are used with pre-made solid objects as well as imported geometric models. The modelers use these tools for modifying existing solid components and linked models. However, Revit cannot manipulate an object’s individual polygons, debarring a few object types like slabs, roofs and terrain.
Creates Realistic Image — While creating a building or any other object, the modelers make use of the Revit rendering engine for presenting a realistic image or a diagrammatic model. This is executed by using the premade model, floor, wall and many other elements. Revit 2010 has a surplus of predefined materials that can be modified as per the user requirement. The users set the rotation and modify the size, brightness and texture for a realistic effect. Expert users create accurate and realistic families from furniture to lighting and import existing models from other programs.
Facilitates Advanced Rendering — Cloud-based rendering is possible in Revit with experimental plug-in dubbed Project Neon on Autodesk Lab. This helps the users to render images through Autodesk account rather than through personal computers. Furthermore, the model can be directly linked to Autodesk 3ds Max 2013 and later versions for advanced rendering and animation, retaining object information.
Revit plays a vital role while developing powerful building. The collaboration made possible by Revit helps all building stakeholders during the pre-construction, construction as well as the post-construction stages. Companies using this Building Information Modeling software can examine the existing work process and make modifications to the building components like height, width and many other elements. Opt for Building Information Modeling Services if you have not yet used it and speed up your construction work. Get Pinnacle’s 3D BIM Modeling and save time and money for construction project.
