Why building designers use the AEC Collection

Improve design quality

Exceed client expectations with design and analysis software that allows you to tap into your creativity and problem solving.

Work better together

Improve project coordination, performance, and outcome with streamlined data exchange and integrated workflows.

Accelerate the design process

With intelligent model-based design and task automation, you can focus on the most important design challenges.

The Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) Collection provides designers, engineers, and contractors a set of BIM and CAD tools that support projects from early-stage design through to construction.

• Create high-quality, high-performing building and infrastructure designs with conceptual and detailed design tools.
• Optimize projects with integrated analysis, generative design, and visualization and simulation tools.
• Improve predictability in the field with tools that maximize constructability and project coordination.

Architecture

Create more imaginatively and confidently. Use a more fluid process to create conceptual designs that you can easily move into BIM workflows to complete detailed design work.

Early stage design

Create and explore design ideas using conceptual and computational design tools in the AEC Collection. (video: 1:12 min.)

Structural Engineering

Engineer the best structural solutions. Get integrated tools for structural design, detailing, analysis, and fabrication, so you can focus on tackling engineering challenges.

Structural engineering workflows

Design, analyze, and detail concrete and steel structures with Revit, Robot Structural Analysis, and Advance Steel. (video: 3:11 min.)

MEP Engineering

Seamlessly analyze, design, and detail mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in coordination with architects and structural designers.

Design high-performing buildings

Get real-time feedback to inform design decisions for better building performance with Revit and Insight. (video: 1:30 min.)

Generative Design in Revit

Generative Design is a new feature now available exclusively through the AEC Collection with Revit 2021. Now you can quickly generate design alternatives based on your goals, constraints, and inputs to give you higher-performing options for data-driven decision making.
