Revit LT™ – Description
Revit LT™ software supports BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflows. Visualize and communicate designs more clearly and better meet the demand for BIM deliverables.
Revit is a design and documentation platform that supports the design, drawings, and schedules required for building information modeling (BIM). BIM delivers information about project design, scope, quantities, and phases when you need it.
In the Revit model, every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D view, and schedule is a presentation of information from the same virtual building model. As you work on the building model, Revit LT collects information about the building project and coordinates this information across all other representations of the project. The Revit parametric change engine automatically coordinates changes made anywhere—in model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections, and plans.
Revit LT uses 3 types of elements in projects: model elements, datum elements, and view-specific elements. Elements in Revit LT are also referred to as families. The family contains the geometric definition of the element and the parameters used by the element. Each instance of an element is defined and controlled by the family.
Modernized user interface
To simplify view management and support the way you work, the following improvements have been made:
Multi-monitor support
Drag a project view out of the Revit LT application window into its own window. Move the window to another monitor as needed to support your workflow. See About Multi-Monitor Support.
Tab views
In the drawing area, each view (or schedule or sheet) has its own tab. Use the Tab Views tool to combine tiled views into a single window with a tab for each.
Tile views
Use the Tile Views tool to separate tabbed views into individual windows (tiles) in the drawing area so you can see multiple views at the same time. Drag views from one tile to another to organize them as desired.
Close inactive
The Close Hidden tool is now the Close Inactive Views tool. Instead of closing all hidden views, this tool now closes all views except for the currently active view in each tile.
Docking
You can dock individual views in desired locations of the drawing area. Improved docking behavior provides more sensitivity to docking locations and provides a better preview of the new location.
The Replicate Window tool has been removed.
Background fill patterns
When defining the graphic representation of model elements (using materials or graphic overrides for filters, phases, categories, or elements), you can now specify a background color and fill pattern, in addition to the foreground color and fill pattern. Use these patterns to distinguish elements visually in views, improve the readability of project documentation, and meet office or industry standards.
Levels in 3D views
When working in a 3D view, you can display and modify levels for the model. You cannot add levels when working in a 3D view, but you can move, modify, and delete them. To change the visibility of levels in a view, use the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog, Annotation Categories tab.
When you upgrade an existing model, 3D views do not display levels. Use the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog to make them visible.
3D view projection modes
You can now specify the projection mode of 3D view as Perspective or Orthographic from the ViewCube menu. See About the ViewCube Menu.
Uncropped 3D perspective views
To improve the modeling process in 3D views, the Crop View tool in the View Control bar can now be deselected in perspective views.
Dimensions for curved objects in section views
You can now annotate geometry from references created by edges, curves, and points in a non-perpendicular view plane. See About Placing Dimensions on Non-perpendicular Cut Geometry.
File versions
To streamline the File Open process and avoid undesired file upgrades, the Revit LT Open dialog now displays the software release that was last used to save a selected file (for file types RVT, RFA, and RTE). Files last saved with an older release will be updated. Files last saved with a newer release cannot be opened using an earlier release of the software. By checking this information before clicking Open, you can avoid unnecessary delays and inadvertent file upgrades.
Rename views using a slow double-click
In addition to other methods for renaming views, schedules, sheets, and groups, you can now use a slow double-click in the Project Browser. Whereas a fast double-click opens a view, a slow double-click allows you to rename it. This change aligns the software with standard Microsoft® behavior.
Confirmation when renaming views
Before you rename a view, a dialog asks if you want to rename the level and corresponding plan views that have the same name. Starting with this release, you can select the option "Do not show me this message again." If you select the check box, the next time you rename a view, the dialog is omitted, and the answer previously chosen is used. This improvement streamlines your workflow, allowing you to continue your work without pausing to respond.
Warning when deleting levels
Before you delete a level, the software warns that corresponding views will also be deleted. New in this release, the warning also lists elements related to the selected levels. Expand the warning to see the full list of affected views and elements. Click OK to continue with the deletions, or Cancel to cancel the request. This improvement is aimed at preventing team members from inadvertently deleting elements from the model, thus helping teams to avoid costly mistakes.
Vertical text alignment
When you annotate models using the Text tool, you can align text to the top, middle, or bottom of a text note.
Improved stability
When you perform certain operations, such as opening, saving, and upgrading models, the software checks loaded families for stability issues. By performing this check often, the software can uncover potential problems earlier, before they cause widespread issues in the model. By taking a few simple steps to correct the situation, you can quickly restore your model and resume work without delay.
New DACH sample models
Revit LT includes new DACH sample project models, based on award winning architecture from INNOCAD. The models demonstrate Revit LT DACH use in all nine German design phases and in all major disciplines: Architecture, Structure, MEP, and Construction.
New DACH content library and templates
The Revit LT templates for DACH have been adjusted for the latest BIM requirements. The new Architectural, Structure, and MEP content fulfills the BIM requirements of architects and engineers and includes the annotations for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The new construction content library fulfills the need of construction customers both for visualization and 2D design intelligence.
Material appearances
New appearance assets are available for use with materials in models and families. These new assets use physically-based definitions, optimized for use with the Autodesk rendering engine. They provide high quality, realistic visual effects in rendered images and in views that use the Realistic or Ray Trace visual style. Upgraded models continue to use the legacy appearance assets for materials. Replace legacy assets with the new assets to improve the quality of views and rendered images.
Split railings
The Split tool can now be used on railing elements outside of the sketch mode. When a railing is split, the resulting elements will now have path sketches independent of each other.
