About Working with Architectural and Construction Projects

Learn how Revit models, that provide key project information, can be referenced or converted for use with your products.

What's New: 2021

With Manufacturing and AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) disciplines becoming more collaborative and co-dependent it becomes important to enable data exchange that:

• is easy to use
• is associative to the source data
• can be converted to native models when needed
• includes linked files

Inventor enables the use of data between Revit and Inventor so that your product designs reflect the AEC environment in which they are used. If you design or manufacture components that are used in AEC designs, you can design in the context of the Revit model, ensuring that your design reflects that relationship.

AEC data may be provided to you by means of a BIM 360 project, internally shared drives, or electronically provided. If you are working with BIM 360, see To Access BIM 360 from Inventor.
