Autodesk Revit 2016 Portable



Autodesk Revit is building information modeling software for architects,
structural engineers, MEP engineers, designers and contractors. It allows
users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate
the model with 2D drafting elements, and access building information from the
building model's database. Revit is 4D BIM capable with tools to plan and
track various stages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to
construction and later demolition.

Revit can be used as a very powerful collaboration tool between different
disciplines in the building design sphere. The different disciplines that use
Revit approach the program from unique perspectives. Each of these
perspectives is focused on completing that discipline's task. Companies that
adopt the software first examine the existing work flow process to determine
if such an elaborate collaboration tool is required.

The Revit work environment allows users to manipulate whole buildings or
assemblies (in the project environment) or individual 3D shapes (in the
family editor environment). Modeling tools can be used with pre-made solid
objects or imported geometric models. However, Revit is not a NURBS modeller
and also lacks the ability to manipulate an object's individual polygons
except on some specific object types such as roofs, slabs and terrain or in
the massing environment.

There are many categories of objects ('families' in Revit terminology), which
divide into three groups:

System Families, such as walls, floors, roofs and ceilings which are built inside a project

Loadable Families / Components, which are built with primitives (extrusions,
sweeps, etc.) separately from the project and loaded into a project for use

In-Place Families, which are built in-situ within a project with the same
toolset as loadable components

An experienced user can create realistic and accurate families ranging from
furniture[16] to lighting fixtures,[17] as well as import existing models
from other programs. Revit families can be created as parametric models with
dimensions and properties. This lets users modify a given component by
changing predefined parameters such as height, width or number in the case of
an array. In this way a family defines a geometry which is controlled by
parameters, each combination of parameters can be saved as a type, and each
occurrence (instance in Revit) of a type can also contain further variations.
For example, a swing door may be a Family. It may have types describing
different sizes, and the actual building model will have instances of those
types placed in walls where instance-based parameters could specify the door
hardware uniquely for each occurrence of the door.

When a user makes a building, model, or any other kind of object in Revit,
they may use Revit's rendering engine to make a more realistic image of what
is otherwise a very diagrammatic model. This is accomplished by either using
the premade model, wall, floor, etc., tools, or making her or his own models,
walls, materials, etc. Revit 2010 comes with a plethora of predefined
materials, each of which can be modified to the user's desires. The user can
also begin with a "Generic" material. With this, the user can set the
rotation, size, brightness, and intensity of textures, gloss maps (also known
as shinemaps), transparency maps, reflection maps, oblique reflection maps,
hole maps, and bump maps, as well as leaving the map part out and just using
the sliders for any one (or all or none) of the aforementioned features of
textures.

Cloud-based rendering with the experimental plug-in dubbed Project Neon,
located on Autodesk Labs is in the beta phases and allows for the user to
render their images through their Autodesk account instead of locally through
their own computers. Revit models may also be linked directly into Autodesk
3ds Max (release 2013 and later) for more advanced rendering and animation
projects with much of their material and object information maintained.

An addin available for Revit called Enscape3D allows live 3D rendering
walkthroughs and flyarounds. It permits live updates and also allows for
sound sources to be added so that acoustics may be tested.
