As architects and designers start a project, they frequently think about the overall massing of a building or the area of the footprint. Autodesk® Revit® Architecture, using its powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) engine, includes tools for creating mass elements that can be modified into many shapes. You can then apply walls, roofs, and floors to them to continue designing. You can also access space planning tools for setting up areas for rooms and applying colors to them to show the connections. For presentations, you can create and render perspective views.

• Create In-Place Conceptual Mass elements and Conceptual Mass families
• Create building elements from massing studies
• Use Rooms and Areas for space planning and analysis
• Create perspectives, walkthroughs, and solar studies
• Understand the concepts of rendering and lighting
