Architects can harness the power of design
visualization and analysis tools with the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection from Autodesk.
Within the Collection, architects use tools to seamlessly
conceive, model, optimize and coordinate their designs with AEC professionals across multiple disciplines
and throughout the lifecycle of a project.
In the early stages of your design you can use Autodesk Formit Pro to create a
conceptual massing study within the context of the site.
Easy to learn sketching and drawing tools allow you to sketch and iterate on your ideas.
And if you are looking for additional inspiration you can even invite other
architects in different locations to a design session in real time, as you settle on an idea to further develop.
Your conceptual designs translate into BIM data in later design stages.
And once the initial idea has been conceived, it can be further modeled to a higher
degree of detail in an intelligent 3D model with Revit. And since Revit leverages BIM to reduce errors and omissions,
you can work in your preferred view whether it's 2D or 3D.
Any design change that you make will automatically update
impacted parts of your model, including schedules, sections and elevations.
And if you work with stakeholders who use AutoCAD, Revit can import and export DWG files.
When you are exporting to DWG, you have complete control over layers, line weights, and line types.
With Recap Pro we've simplified the process of reality capture so that anyone beginner,
or specialist can scan building sites faster and easier than ever before.
Now you can scan quickly and accurately for surveying, planning, renovating and
constructing new buildings or infrastructure.
As your Revit model progresses, you can optimize how it will ultimately
perform once constructed with Autodesk Insight. With the click of a button, you have access to trusted industry-leading simulation engines
for whole building energy heating, cooling and day lighting simulations
that leverage cloud computing techniques to present millions of potential outcomes at once.
With Insight you'll receive real-time visual
feedback that will inform your final design decisions
and help you determine how your building design will perform throughout the course of its lifetime.
With the Revit Live cloud service, architects can easily turn Revit and Revit LT models
into immersive experiences in just one click by exploring the model in virtual reality.
Designers can understand and experience their designs and then share them with project stakeholders
and clients to better communicate design intent.
You can, also optimize the visual appeal of your design with Autodesk 3ds Max. When you export your model to 3ds Max
building materials are automatically transferred, allowing you to focus on creating the final animation scene
with easy-to-use tools like Populate, and the Walkthrough assistant.
When complete, the final animations can help you win more business.
As an architect who is managing a project team with stakeholders across multiple disciplines you can use Autodesk Navisworks Manage
to resolve complex scheduling issues and resolve costly clashes before the project is constructed.
With the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection
we've made it easier for architects to move from conceptual design to
multi-discipline coordination, by giving you access to powerful tools that aid in the development of every aspect of your design.
