Autodesk Revit is Building Information Modeling software for Microsoft Windows, currently developed by Autodesk, which allows the user to design with parametric modeling and drafting elements. Building Information Modeling is a new Computer Aided Design (CAD) paradigm that allows for intelligent, 3D and parametric object-based design. In this way, Revit provides full bi-directional associativity. A change anywhere is a change everywhere, instantly, with no user interaction to manually update any view. A BIM model contains the building's full life cycle, from concept to construction to decommissioning. This is made possible by Revit's underlying relational database architecture which its creators call the parametric change engine.
Autodesk purchased the Massachusetts-based Revit Technology Corporation for $133 million US in 2002.
The latest released version is Revit Architecture/Structure/MEP 2010 (April, 2009) and the corresponding AutoCAD Revit Suite 2010 products (which includes AutoCAD Architecture 2010 32-bit & 64-bit). As of September 29th, 2008, Autodesk has released 64bit versions of Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP (for subscription customers).
