Ideally suited for construction professionals, this edition builds on the Premium edition by including Autodesk Navisworks Manage software for an integrated approach to multidisciplinary coordination; Autodesk Inventor to collaborate more effectively with building product manufacturers and fabricators; and Autodesk Quantity Takeoff for use in design-to-cost-estimating workflows.

The Cost Effective Path to BIM.

AutoCAD® design and documentation software is one of the world’s leading 2D and 3D CAD tools.

AutoCAD® Architecture, AutoCAD® MEP, and AutoCAD® Structural Detailing software helps you efficiently design, document, and share drawings using authentic, reliable DWG technology.

Autodesk® Showcase® helps you market and present your designs by transforming digital models into photorealistic imagery and immersive, interactive presentations.

Autodesk® SketchBook® Designer gives you an effective tool for design illustration and graphic communication.

Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software is the BIM solution built for architects that helps you deliver higher-quality, more accurate model-based architectural designs.

Autodesk® Revit® MEP BIM software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers provides an integrated design, analysis, and documentation tool to support accurate and efficient building systems projects from concept to construction.

Autodesk® Revit® Structure BIM software for structural engineering helps you to more confidently predict the performance of your structural designs and more clearly communicate your design intent to project team members and owners.

Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software lets you rapidly review design concepts, more accurately analyze daylight effects, and create high-impact marketing visuals.

Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage software helps you integrate 3D models and multiformat data so you can better coordinate disciplines, resolve conflicts, and plan projects virtually before construction or renovation begins.

Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff software helps you efficiently perform material quantifications from design data and high-quality images for a smoother design-to-cost workflow.

Autodesk® Inventor® software lets you collaborate with manufacturers and fabricators that produce building components to understand and capture design intent.

Autodesk Building Design Suite helps you:

• Move to BIM at your own pace
• Maximize the CAD and BIM investments you've already made.
• Leverage information inside the intelligent 3D model to create better buildings.
• Use integrated analysis to inform your design and construction decisions.
• Produce compelling visualizations and walkthroughs to market your ideas more successfully.
• Create consistent, higher-quality construction documentation and as-built models.
• Accelerate your project schedules and decrease your costs.
• Improve control over your project outcomes with valuable insight
