Key Features of Revit LT

Views of a modern house in Revit user interface

Parametric component design

Place walls, doors, and windows in an open, graphical, and parameter-rich system for design and form-making.

Scheduling

Use tables to better capture, filter, sort, display, and share project data.

Annotation

Communicate design intent effectively with tools for tagging, dimensioning, and illustrating in 2D and 3D.

Visibility settings and overrides

Control visibility by hiding, revealing, and highlighting building elements. Use overrides to customize appearance.

Interoperability

Import, export, and link with commonly used CAD formats, including IFC4, Rhino, SketchUp, and OBJ.

Global parameters

Embed design intent with project-wide parameters that work with radial and diameter dimensions and equality constraints. 

BIM Content Libraries

Load content from the Autodesk cloud into a Revit project or create your own libraries of building components.

Personalization and customization

Customize the user interface to fit, with configurable keyboard shortcuts, ribbons, and toolbars.

Frequent performance upgrades

Benefit from gains in hardware and processor performance and continuous evaluation against computing benchmarks.
