Autodesk Revit is available not only as the full version, but also as the slimmer and more affordable Revit LT. Revit LT was developed as a cost-effective entry into BIM functionality and includes a more limited set of tools for design and documentation.
It remains fully compatible with the full version of Revit. If you need to model building components and create analyses or simulations for planning documentation, the full version of Revit is the better choice.
Revit LT helps architects and designers create high-quality 3D designs and documentation while working more efficiently with standardized BIM workflows.
More efficient BIM workflows
Simplify project processes by standardizing BIM workflows.
Automate workflows for better design quality and reduced risk
Stay aligned more easily with structured planning and project coordination
More BIM projects
Qualify for projects that require BIM deliverables.
Give clients better insight into your designs with 3D modeling and visualization tools
Exchange designs with other users of Revit and AutoCAD software
More affordable solution
Even with its limits compared with the full Revit software package, Revit LT still offers a lot:
3D design and visualization
Save, view, and share design data securely in Autodesk Drive
Exchange design files with Revit software users
Revit vs. Revit LT
Alongside the full version of Revit, Autodesk also offers the slimmer and more affordable Revit LT. Revit LT is especially suitable for BIM-compliant architectural planning and documentation. By comparison, the full version of Revit includes broader BIM tools for model-based planning, design, construction, visualization, and the management of buildings and infrastructure.
Autodesk has also published an overview of the main differences between the two software versions.
