This can be done via the options dialogue box under User Interface.Ĭertain changes have been made to some tools to allow consistency across the different disciplines. In Revit 2013 you have access to all of the platform tools and if you need to, you can customize the ribbon interface to turn off the discipline tools you don’t require. The official name will just be Revit 2013.

But it will also come as a complete AEC solution, code named “OneBox” during development, this will be all three disciplines installed as one. Revit 2013 will come in its now well established traditional flavours of Architecture, Structure & MEP. The industry has spoken, there should be no BIM silos, so Mr Autodesk, give us the Revit product which includes all the disciplines! Also, other firms want to use architectural tools in say an MEP workflow. BIM by its nature is a collaborative effort & many multi dis firms are using all flavours of the product. But Autodesk have been under pressure from the industry to look at the way Revit is served up. Nether the less Autodesk saw things differently & divided the product up into the 3 flavours that we know as Architecture, Structure & MEP. Either way, Revit was seen as a holistic solution that would serve the AEC industry. I once heard a blasphemous rumour that a MEP tool set was being developed for Revit, but to this day, can’t confirm or deny that was the case.
Whilst the tools for structure were less developed than those for architecture, certainly I was aware of engineers who were using Revit. Back then the original Revit vision was a one stop shop solution for all AEC disciplines. 10 years ago I would have never believed that Revit would have had such an impact on my career. Wow! How the world has changed in that time, politically & economically. The Revit technology has now been under Autodesk ownership for just over 10 years.
The year is 2012 & the Autodesk fanfare announces the arrival of Revit 2013.
