April 19, 2006—Autodesk, Inc. has announced that it has updated its entire portfolio of software solutions for the building industry, making it even easier for architects, structural engineers and building systems engineers to realize their ideas.
With the immediate availability of Autodesk Revit Building 9, Autodesk Revit Structure 3, Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007, Autodesk Building Systems 2007 and Autodesk VIZ 2007 software products, building design and engineering professionals can create, manage and share design information more effectively, contributing to increased profitability, reduced risk and fewer inefficiencies in building design, construction and management.
Revit Building and Revit Structure have been designed specifically for building information modeling (BIM). Autodesk Revit Building 9 mirrors the real world of architecture by letting architects and designers work on buildings holistically, rather than in terms of separate floor plans, sections and elevations. New features include sun studies, a detail library and keynoting.
Autodesk Revit Structure 3 increases efficiency, accuracy and design flexibility by integrating a physical model—for layout, coordination and documentation—with an independently editable analytical model for multiple analyses and has bidirectional links to industry-leading analysis software, so analysis results can update the model accurately. New features in Revit Structure 3 include a model consistency checking for greater engineering insight; improved modeling including sloped elements; and enhanced construction documents with more drafting tools.
With seven million users, Autodesk is the world’s leading software and services company for the manufacturing, infrastructure, building, media and entertainment, and wireless data services fields. For more information, visit the company Web site.
