Revit offers customers the opportunity to work within an integrated model-based approach, providing a holistic, project-based view of a building’s design and definition. This creates a building model that facilitates access to building information on a project-wide basis, enabling tighter integration of downstream applications such as cost estimating, bidding, and facility management. Through the acquisition of Revit’s complementary technology, Autodes
