Why do you use Revit for 3D laboratory design?

Revit Building Information Model (BIM) Software

Revit

Revit is BIM software that integrates all architectural, engineering and construction disciplines into a single modelling environment. This results in more efficient and cost-effective projects.

What are the benefits?

The type of software used depends on many factors. Reasons for using one are features, in company knowledge of products, costs, and software used by suppliers/clients.

Revit is quite popular and often used in the Building Information Modelling process. This is mainly because of the advantages:

  • Parametric modelling
  • No repetitions
  • Landscape designs
  • Energy Efficient Design
  • No paper documentation
  • Huge Library
  • Automation
  • Collaboration
  • Coordination
  • Scheduling

How compatible are the different Revit versions with each other?

Revit is not backwards compatible. Meaning, files saved in a newer version can not be read in older versions. This is applicable on year level (e.g 2021.1 to 2020.2), not on versions within a year (e.g. 2021.2 to 2021.1).
