What is building information modeling, and how does it apply to Revit Structure?
Building information modeling (BIM) is an innovative building design and documentation methodology that relies on the creation and collection of interrelated computable information about a building project. BIM makes reliable, coordinated, and internally consistent digital representations of the building available for design decision-making, production of high-quality construction documents, construction planning, and predicting performance in various ways. The ability to keep this information up-to-date and accessible in an integrated digital environment gives engineers, architects, builders, and owners a clear overall vision of their projects and contributes to the ability to make better decisions faster—for higher-quality, more profitable projects. Revit is Autodesk’s platform for building information modeling. Applications such as Revit Structure (built on the Revit® platform) are complete, discipline-specific structural engineering, design, and documentation systems supporting a
