In April this year, the design software company, Autodesk, introduced the new version of Revit 2021<\/strong>. The program includes new and improved functions that will help professionals generate more detailed and realistic building designs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before entering fully indicating its latest improvements, we should remember what this software that was launched on the market for the first time 20 years ago consists of.<\/p>\n

What is Revit?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

REVIT is a software that generates and manages data from a building<\/strong> during its life cycle, reducing the loss of resources during the design and construction process.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2000 and currently developed by the Autodesk company, this software allows the user to design spaces on a computer<\/strong> and includes tools for professional use in architectural design, structural engineering and construction.<\/p>\n

Its main advantage<\/strong> is that it allows the final design of a building to be viewed in 3D before it is built, saving on construction costs.<\/p>\n

It has two types of licenses<\/strong>: commercial and educational. The first is an unlimited license to use the program, so the user has access to all the services offered. The educational license is exclusive for students and academics and is valid for a maximum of 6 years (3 years with possibility of others 3).<\/p>\n

What’s new in Revit 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Autodesk Revit 2021 includes all the enhancements from the 2020.1 and 2020.2 Interim Updates. Next, we detail the main novelties of Revit 2021 grouped by categories.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • New Generative \/ Parametric Design<\/li>\n
    • Realistic real-time views<\/li>\n
    • Inclined walls and the possibility for families staying in them to adapt to the inclination<\/li>\n
    • Improved link with Autodesk Inventor<\/strong><\/li>\n

      • Create stiffeners in the beams and columns<\/li>\n
      • Insert steel elements in vertical views<\/li>\n
      • Dimensions that fit steel plates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Facilities<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Appointment of the electrical circuit<\/li>\n
        • Single-phase L-N panel boards<\/li>\n
        • Switch board circuit quantification<\/li>\n
        • Switch Circuit Phase Selection<\/li>\n
        • Panel list nodes under the project browser sheets<\/li>\n
        • Improvements in the MEP work distribution<\/li>\n
        • P&ID Modeler in BIM 360 Docs<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • New Pipe Flow Units (and Frame of Units)<\/li>\n
        • MEP Manufacturing Extension Integration<\/li>\n
        • Analysis of MEP systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Differences between Revit 2020 vs Revit 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          1- With Revit 2021, you can now lock the main heading and column headings<\/strong> in order to keep them visible when scrolling.<\/p>\n

          2- It allows to establish alternate rows in contrasting colors<\/strong> in order to make it easier to read and to allow the use of all kinds of schedules.<\/p>\n

          3- The Path of Travel tool<\/strong> (\u00abRoute analysis\u00bb), introduced for the first time in Revit 2020, contains a series of improvements compared to the first version we saw in Revit 2020.<\/p>\n

          4- While Revit 2020 introduced the ability to import PDF files<\/strong> into projects, Revit 2021 extends that basic functionality with the ability to link them. Similarly, the possibility of linking images<\/strong> has been introduced.<\/p>\n

          5- Also, the applied view filters can now be enabled and disabled<\/strong> in the Visibility and Graphics dialog. This means that you can turn on and off the effects of the view filters instead of performing the “Add and remove” function.<\/p>\n

          In conclusion, in Revit 2021 you will find a generative design tool focused on creating design alternatives in the middle of the workflow. This way, you can specify your design goals, constraints, and automatically generate quick iterations for review.<\/p>\n

          Keyplan works all your projects in Revit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Our professional team is accredited and qualified to design and create concepts from the beginning in this powerful software, minimizing the possibility of errors in the construction phases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
