Announcing Autodesk Revit LT

If you’ve been considering the move to BIM, but held back because of the complexity or price tag of Autodesk Revit, do we have an announcement for you!

Revit LT, formerly known as Project Spark, has graduated from Autodesk Labs and will be available for purchase soon in North America and select countries worldwide.

Revit LT is built on the Revit platform, and includes many of the features available in the full version, including the powerful, intelligent 3D tools, structural modeling objects, and access to Autodesk 360 Rendering.

When the product is released, you’ll be able to purchase it separately or as part of the new AutoCAD Revit LT Suite, which includes both Autodesk Revit LT and AutoCAD LT. In the U.S., the SRP for these are $1200 and $1500 respectively, so it’s a heck of a deal either way!

Product availability will vary by country, so be sure to visit www.autodesk.com/revitlt for details and purchasing options.

Hi Kate
I am interested in getting Revit for our office. Our re-seller gave us a demo and a price for the full version, at $6,000 per seat.
I was surprised to see it will be available in an LT version at a greatly reduced price.
Looking at the comparison chart on the Autodesk web site, the features look the same, except multi user and internal rendering are blocked. For such a price drop are there other features lock out too?
If it is just these two, I would seriously consider purchasing it when available. Are you able to expand on the LT version on your blog?
Regards
Craig

Hi Craig,
Yes, a lot of the features are identical between Revit and Revit LT. Revit LT is designed more for small businesses, though, who have less need of the collaboration (simultaneous editing) tools. Revit LT will also only be available as a standalone license (no network licenses). As you see on the comparison chart (http://usa.autodesk.com/revitlt/features/) some more advanced modeling, analysis, and rendering tools are also reserved for the full Revit. I'll post something next week further outlining the differences.

Hello Kate! Do you have any information about OS X version?

[Kate Morrical]

No native Mac version, but I believe Revit LT will be supported on Bootcamp & Parallels.

So there is another platform of users to ask:

"What does the LT stand for?"

Light, Limited, Lap Top or (my favourite) Less Techo!
