Revit Building 9 and AutoCAD 2007 Review

The twelve pages of Revit Building 9 new features and modifications demonstrates that the Autodesk Revit Development Team is listening for user suggested improvements to Revit.

It starts with file import/export tools that provide direct import of native SketchUp files (SKP). An expanded CSI-organized detail library, I-drop support, animated Sun Studies that can be exported to AVI, sloped beams, columns with top/bottom constraints and we can now transfer drafting views, sheets and data schedules to other projects. As I said, 12 pages of additions and improvements.

The Revit WOW takes a big leap as Revit 9 is also prepped for Revit Systems(MEP) which has an expected ship date of April 19th !

Revit Systems - Series Plus is a new offering featuring Autodesk Building Systems as part of the suite. The link downloads a 12 page PDF description file.

Revit Structure 3 / Series expected ship date of April 12th.

And Revit Building 9 / Series expected ship date of April 9th.

My Revit Building 9 beta version has been working great as we run it through the paces. I always hold my breath as we approach First Customer Ship (FCS) hoping the great beta version features I see are released at FCS. As I said, 12 pages of additions and improvements…there's a good chance it will all make it to FCS.

Use the links above for immediate detailed information about each new product. We'll continue to update this blog and those links with the specifics on Revit 9 additions and improvements over the next few days and weeks.

Cheers to the expanded Revit Platform!
