Introduction

The building information model is primarily a three-dimensional digital representation of the building and its internal characteristics. It consists of intelligent building components that include data attributes and parametric rules for each object. In addition, BIM allows engineers to more easily predict the performance of projects before they are created; Respond to design changes faster Optimize design with analysis, modeling, and visualization, and deliver better building documentation.

Revit is the newest and most technologically advanced BIM application. Currently, several BIM applications are on the market, provided by a host of different software vendors. Revit was designed from the ground up as a BIM platform to specifically address problem areas of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry: communication, coordination, and project management. Revit is a technological platform that currently supports architectural, structural, and mechanical disciplines, but the possibilities for extending these are immense. It’s supported by a parametric change engine that is unmatched in sophistication within the AEC world of applications. It’s also the leading software package in the international market.
