VisionREZ
Ameri-CAD
Revit is the most common BIM platform in the market today. In Revit, elements - such as doors, windows, and walls - are designed in 3D and incorporate data attributes. Because elements in Revit are intelligent, parametric and related to each other within the 3D model, changes made to one element automatically update all related model elements, schedules, views, and sheets. For a residential designer using Vision REZ for Revit, this means their changes are made all at once, and are automatically pushed through to CD’s, renderings, and quantity takeoffs, saving them valuable time. VisionREZ allows you to model designs with precision, optimize performance, and collaborate more effectively. VisionREZ is a residential Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology that allows for the sharing of all information related to a project to be contained in a single and accessible model. VisionREZ automates design tasks and integrates information so it can be utilized across functions.Starting Price: $1495 one-time payment -
