Architecture software, every drawing
sheet, every 2D and 3D view, and every schedule
is a direct presentation of information from the
same underlying building database. As the user
works in familiar drawing and schedule views,
Revit Architecture collects information about the
building project and coordinates this information
across all other representations of the project.
Revit Architecture 2008 includes many new and enhanced features to help you work the
way you think, provide higher coordination and quality, and improve your business for a
competitive advantage.
