Revit LT delivers intuitive, 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) software based on the Autodesk Revit platform. Create higher quality designs and documentation working in a coordinated 3D model-based environment. Share designs with stakeholders using other Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD platform software, and produce renderings in the cloud with Autodesk® 360, available with an Autodesk Subscription.
Revit LT is not intended to support conceptual design, analysis, in-product rendering, advanced collaboration, an application programming interface (API), or modeling for mechanical, electrical, or plumbing engineering.
