building design and documentation systems, supporting all phases of design and
construction documentation. From preliminary design through the most detailed
construction drawings and schedules, applications built on Revit help provide immediate
competitive advantage, better coordination and accuracy, and can contribute to higher
profitability for structural engineering firms and the rest of the building team.

At the heart of the Revit platform is the Revit parametric change engine, which automa-
tically coordinates changes made anywhere—in model views or drawing sheets,
schedules, sections, plans…you name it.

What is Revit Structure 2008?

Revit Structure 2008 is a multi-material structural modeling and drafting software
system that offers concurrent physical and analytical modeling for design, coordination,
and documentation—and bidirectional linking to industry-leading analysis applications.

Revit Structure software integrates a physical model—for layout, coordination, and
documentation—with an independently editable analytical model for multiple analyses.
You can model from scratch or over 2D CAD files from the architect. Or, for even more
powerful coordination, you can link directly to intelligent 3D architectural models from
AutoCAD

Architecture or Revit

Architecture software products. Bidirectional linking to

industry-leading analysis software means analysis results update your Revit Structure
model accurately—while proven parametric change management technology
coordinates those updates everywhere in your design and documentation. The bottom
line: Integrated modeling increases efficiency, improves accuracy, and streamlines
coordination with your design team.

What is AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2008?

AutoCAD

Revit

Structure Suite 2008 (formerly known as AutoCAD

Revit

Series—

Structure) is a software bundle including Revit Structure 2008 and AutoCAD

2008

software applications shipped on two separate DVDs, with a single serial number and a
single activation code permitting use of both products on a non-concurrent basis.

With AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2008, users get the most powerful parametric
structural modeler with Revit Structure, plus the most widely used drafting software in
the industry with AutoCAD. This bundle enables users to adopt building information
modeling at their own pace, while leveraging their investment in AutoCAD and migrating
all their company standards and detail libraries to Revit Structure.
