Which building components does Revit encompass?
The Revit BIM solution includes an extensive library of components. These parametric families range from basic architectural components such as walls, casework, and doors, to elaborate assemblies, such as kitchen cabinetry and escalators. Revit components include geometry (the component’s size and shape) and design intent (how it relates to other building components), as well as nongraphic attributes that describe the component such as materials or fire rating. Revit Architecture includes an extensive library of generic parametric components. Because Revit components are parametric by nature, the library doesn’t have to include a representation of every single size or type of component – the library elements are preprogrammed to size accordingly. The component libraries created by Autodesk for Revit Architecture are generic. They don’t describe specific manufacturers’ components and, therefore, have no specific product information such as model number.
