Revit
also: Autodesk Revit · BIM
Autodesk's BIM software for architectural, structural, and MEP design; how equipment shows up in building projects and coordination models.
Revit is building information modeling (BIM) software used by architects and MEP engineers. Buildings are modeled with intelligent families (walls, ducts, pipes, equipment) that carry data used for schedules, coordination, and clash detection. Equipment makers often need Revit families of their products so designers can specify them.
Where it bites: a steep learning curve, specialized family creation, heavy version-locked files, and project-specific BIM standards that families must follow.
Outside help is worth it for building Revit families of your product, coordinating HVAC and electrical layouts for pilot installations, and producing equipment schedules with the right data parameters.
Common requests
- Revit families for your product
- MEP coordination and clash checks
- Equipment schedules and data parameters
- HVAC layouts for pilot installations

Founder takeaway
If your product goes into buildings, publish a clean Revit family; specifiers are more likely to choose equipment they can drop into their model.
