Revit can be referred to as an civil/architectural design tool – it is often labeled as Revit architecture and is a tool that has been developed for architects. The software is mainly for design and the documentation of designs. Even though AutoCAD may be used for the same purpose, Revit is faster, and produces more detailed drawings in a shorter period of time.

It is much easier to draw and present floor plans on paper using Revit than any other architectural design tool available today. It is also the best tool for producing pictorial architectural designs.

Civil engineers do not need to produce either floor plans, or pictorial drawings. They can modify in Revit to produce and detail structural drawings.
