Cost Effective Tool Helps Building Professionals in Small Firms Ease
Transition to BIM
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 5, 2012--
Autodesk,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a leader in 3D
design, engineering and entertainment software, today announced
Autodesk Revit LT software, a new addition to its award winning family
of Revit software products. Designed for architects, designers and
building industry professionals using 2D workflows who are looking to
transition to the Building
Information Modeling (BIM) process, Autodesk Revit LT software
delivers a focused 3D application to help users create higher-quality
and more accurate designs and documentation.
“Autodesk Revit LT reflects our commitment to provide architects,
designers and building professionals, particularly those in small firms,
the tools they need to ease the transition to get started with—and take
advantage of—a BIM workflow,” said Amar Hanspal, Autodesk senior vice
president, information modeling products. “With Revit LT, customers can
deliver higher-quality, more accurate designs and documentation—allowing
them to bring projects to market faster and save time and money.”
Autodesk Revit LT is built on the Revit platform for BIM and allows
users to create designs efficiently with 3D, real-world building objects
to produce reliable, coordinated documentation faster. Revit-based
applications help deliver better coordination and quality, and can
contribute to higher profitability for architects, design professionals
and the rest of the building team. Some of the benefits of Revit LT
include:
-
Work more efficiently with a single, coordinated model that allows
users to concurrently design and document building projects. Autodesk
Revit LT automatically manages iterative changes to building models
throughout the documentation process. As a result, a consistent
representation of the building is maintained, helping to improve
drawing coordination and reducing errors.
-
Design and visualize in 3D. Revit LT allows users to see their designs
virtually, improving their understanding of the building and its
spaces, and helping them communicate design ideas to clients more
clearly and effectively.
-
Create photorealistic renderings in the cloud. Users who purchase
Autodesk Subscription with Revit LT can render in the cloud directly
from the Revit LT interface, enabling them to produce compelling,
photorealistic visualizations without tying up their desktop.
-
Exchange designs in the DWG or RVT file formats. Produce designs in
the DWG file format, and experience fluid file exchange with project
team members using other Autodesk Revit software applications.
Availability
Autodesk Revit LT 2013 is scheduled to be available within the month in
North America and in select countries worldwide. The product is
available as a standalone version and as part of the new AutoCAD Revit
LT Suite 2013, which includes both Autodesk Revit LT 2013 and AutoCAD LT
2013. Product availability varies by country. Details and purchasing
options are available at www.autodesk.com/revitlt
