Features

Accelerate your design workflows with Autodesk® Design Review software—the free,* integrated solution for reviewing, marking up, measuring, and tracking changes to building information models and drawings. Adopting Autodesk Design Review gives team members who don’t use CAD easy access to designs and reinforces the use of the complete design data that the building information modeling (BIM) process delivers.

Optimize Your Software Investment with Digital Design Reviews
Easy to use and digital, Autodesk Design Review software powers effective design review and collaboration between creators of sophisticated models and drawing with reviewers. Design Review is integrated into all Autodesk® design applications, including AutoCAD® Architecture, AutoCAD® MEP, Revit® Architecture, Revit® MEP, and Revit® Structure and Civil 3D. Design Review, in combination with the built-in publishing all Autodesk design applications provide, enables you to communicate your design to almost anyone and then import design markups from those reviewers into the original application for easy updates to your project.

The following are some of the ways that Autodesk Design Review improves critical workflows to help architectural and engineering firms and their project teams gain that elusive competitive advantage.

Accelerate Review Cycles
Save two to three days per review cycle by using Autodesk Design Review software along with a Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, Revit Structure, Civil 3D, AutoCAD®, AutoCAD Architecture, or AutoCAD MEP applications to electronically review, mark up, and revise designs.

Enable Digital Back Checks
Reduce errors that cost time and money and affect your reputation by using Autodesk Design Review software for back checking. Enable team members to automatically track and review changes and the status of changes without waiting for printouts.

Effectively Show Designs in Client Presentations
Autodesk Design Review software enables clients and project stakeholders unfamiliar with complex CAD software to fully visualize drawings and models without altering the original file. You can include interactive drawings and models in Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation graphics program slide sets for more effective presentations and “walk through” building models with clients so they can experience the project before it is built.

Document Construction Change Orders
Use the markup and status-tracking tools in Autodesk Design Review to track the changes required throughout the construction process.

Reduce Printing and Shipping Costs
Depending on the project size, thousands of dollars per job while enabling team members to fully participate in a digital design review process. Digital distribution means no more waiting for drawings to be printed and shipped or for markups to be scanned and then faxed back to the designer.
