Autodesk Building Design Suite 2015

www.autodesk.com

Autodesk Building Design Suite 2015 is a portfolio of interoperable design software that supports BIM- and CAD-based workflows to help professionals design, simulate, visualize, and construct better buildings. With new licensing and subscription options, design and construction professionals can access a collection of tools for use across the building project lifecycle. Autodesk Building Design Suite 2015 helps architects, engineers and contractors produce compelling visualizations to present ideas more clearly; use integrated analysis to help inform design and construction decisions; create more consistent and high-quality documentation; and gain valuable insight across the building lifecycle. For example, the new sketchy lines feature for Autodesk Revit 2015 software (pictured) enables designers to apply a hand-sketched graphic style to views of a model to encourage client feedback and input when reviewing a design.

Three editions of Autodesk Building Design Suite 2015 are available to support design and construction professionals: Autodesk Building Design Suite Standard 2015, Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium 2015, Autodesk Building Design Suite Ultimate 2015. Each offers a convenient package that can help users do more, achieve better results faster, and collaborate more effectively.
