Building product manufacturers author and publish customizable, repeatable products using Autodesk Informed Design for Inventor.
Access, customize, and place building product templates in design files while respecting manufacturers' guardrails.
Using the Informed Design web portal, manufacturers can seamlessly generate all manufacturing documentation automatically.
Autodesk Informed Design for Revit is a Revit Add-in enabling design professionals to explore building product templates, tailor them, and seamlessly incorporate them into design files, ensuring traceability as a known, manufacturable component.
Autodesk Informed Design for Revit is leveraged by design professionals utilizing Revit to effectively convey design intent for building projects.
Revit is a comprehensive Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that offers tools for architectural design, structural engineering, MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems, and construction. It enables professionals to create, model, and document building projects in a collaborative environment.
Informed Design for Revit is an add-in specifically designed to enhance the functionality of Autodesk Revit. It provides additional capabilities for accessing building product templates, customizing them, and seamlessly integrating them into design files. Informed Design for Revit focuses on optimizing design communication and facilitating the use of manufacturable building components within the Revit workflow.
In order to utilize Informed Design for Revit, users must have Revit and Autodesk Docs for seamless cloud-based data sharing and building product template integration. While Informed Design for Inventor is not a prerequisite, effective collaboration with the building product supplier utilizing Informed Design for Inventor, Inventor and Autodesk Docs is essential for optimal usage and synchronization.
Informed Design for Revit is a complimentary add-in for Revit, available for download and installation at no cost. However, generating manufacturing documentation through the Informed Design web portal incurs a nominal fee of 1/3 token per document (3 documents per token).
Informed Design for Revit can only be installed on Revit 2024 and upcoming releases.
Informed Design runs on the same OS as Revit 2024. See Revit system requirements for details.
