Revit® Architecture 2009
Purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM) |
 |
Because it is purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), any change you make—anytime, anywhere—is automatically coordinated throughout your project.
Designs and documentation stay coordinated, consistent, and complete.
|
Work in any view that makes sense, maintain the ability to design throughout different design phases, and quickly and easily make changes to major compositional elements.
You can even make late-stage changes without worrying about coordinating your plans, schedules, and construction documents. |
What's new in 2009?
Autodesk has improved Revit Architecture in the areas of control and flexibility, design and visualization, and performance and integration. Enhancements have been made to Dimensions, room behaviour, and revision schedules.
Design and visualization enhancements include the new ViewCube and SteeringWheels features, which provide controlled navigation for view orientation and free-form navigation for exterior and interior viewing. The new Mental Ray engine improves the quality, usability, and speed of rendering. Major user interface enhancements have been implemented for rendering interaction and users are now able to export FBX for better interoperability with 3ds Max software for advanced rendering. Finally, the Swept Blend functionality offers more opportunity to express complex forms.
In the areas of Performance and Integration, new features include: DWF files published to the XPS specification can be automatically opened and viewed using the XPS viewer built into Windows Vista. |

In addition, the Virtual Hidden Line Removal Algorithm (VHLR) code has been rewritten to improve graphic fidelity and printing and plotting speed.
