REVIT ARCHITECTURE

In this software, create a building model in a 2D and 3D frame with an inbuilt components.
Two types of Library:
Metric library
Imperial library
Building Information Model: (BIM)
It is use to improve the efficiency of construction.
It can be done by using either Aichicad or Revit.
INTRODUCTION:
