Autodesk Revit for education

What is Autodesk Revit for education?

Autodesk Revit is building information modeling (BIM) software for educators and students passionate about architecture, engineering, construction and operations. Revit provides the tools to easily learn and teach the fundamentals of design principles. Some of the key Autodesk Revit benefits for educators:

  • Effortlessly transition from CAD to BIM (2D to 3D)
  • Unlock the power of BIM with intelligent design and documentation
  • Easily model 3D shapes, structures and MEP systems
  • Sustainably focused analysis tools
  • Unite multidisciplinary AECO workflows to engage learning 

Explore architectural, structural and MEP design curriculum.

What students say about using Revit

"We’re able to go back into the Revit model, look at constructability issues and propose potential solutions and see if those proposed solutions will work with the rest of the model.”

– Madison Truesdale, Civil Engineering Student
