from multiple files. AutoCAD dimensions only display the
distance between two entities AutoCAD software has traditional com-

In Revit, all project data is stored in the single environment
When the dimension value is changed the objects associated to the dimension are changed.
Use system of categories and subcategories to organize information.
Create own intelligent parametric objects or quickly customize the existing ones
Access to Single File and Multiple Users
Multiple Design View
Loaded with lot of features and high level of scalability
Detail library and material takeoff facilities
Revit boosts designer’s capacity 10 fold
