Cost-Effective Revit LT for Easy On-the-Go Design Viewing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abdallah S. | Lead Structural Egnineer, Consulting, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2026 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** It is a lower cost Revit product, that is mainly installed on laptop stations meant to be used externally -outside the office- be it at client meetings or site visits The LT version saves on cost by removing some advanced features from the original Revit like omitting work-sharing, Dynamo and plug-ins support. Due to these limitations, the LT version is used rarely only when it is used to present or view the end design product. The Lt version is easy to use and learn just like the original software **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Despite being a lower cost lite version, I believe that this version should allow for work-sharing between different users. As this feature is essential to working on BIM models. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Revit LT is used to present our models externally and bring them where they are needed outside the office environment. This way Revit LT is used despite the limitations that it does have in its features list ### 2. Revit Makes 2D-to-3D Design Seamless with Powerful Engineering Features **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ghada A. | Senior Design Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2026 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Revit is an application that combines 2D and 3D drawing. It lets you develop your design ideas in a 3D view while you create your 2D sketches, and it includes many features that can make your engineering work easier. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** From an architectural point of view, it would be necessary to add the ability to create AI CGI within Revit’s existing features. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Linking several disciplines with each other makes clarity to the coordination process. ### 3. Revit LT is a great stepping stone between AutoCAD and the full Revit suite. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott R. | Designer & Project Manager, Buildings, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Revit LT provides a good base software solution for professionals that want to learn the basics of BIM without committing to the full software suite where they may not utilize all of the features. It is easy to navigate and teach our team members how to begin the basics of BIM. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** It would be very helpful if Revit LT included some base MEP modelling features for smaller firms that may not take advantage of the heating/cooling load calculation software but still want to do some modelling of building systems. Duct and plumbing & drainage system modelling in the Revit LT software would lead to 100% adoption by our whole team. Without that, it is just a few of us that use Revit LT on a daily basis. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Check out the features of Revit LT to ensure that it meets your organizations needs for basic BIM uses. If you're an MEP firm it does not have the building services components, families or features required. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Revit LT allows some of our team members to open and navigate building models without needing the full software. This is helpful for our engineers that may not do much design work. It also allows us to view models sent by project architects to determine service routing and potential clashes between the structure and our services. This is very helpful for the schematic and concept design phases where we can establish service routing challenges and coordinate these with the other disciplines before it leads to a clash. ### 4. An excellent design software for BIM Age **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Łukasz . | architekt, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2020 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** The parametric families can be tailored to create any object you need. This saves time later when you need a similar object. Revit LT 3d views (can't create renderings) are pretty ok, mainly when used with ambient shadows and realistic material view. For some clients, this will be satisfactory, and you can skip renderings altogether. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Revit LT lacks some basic Revit Features - like manipulating flat roof points or creating renderings. It also doesn't support plugins, so you can't use more advanced rendering options. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Usually, Revit LT is all you need. Full Revit is only required when doing a large project with multiple architects and other designers working on the same file. You will miss rendering options (only online rendering is available), but that doesn't seem to be a big issue. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've created many templates so that my colleagues can apply a template to a view and have a consistent view style in all our projects. Also, I've created a parametric window family with a varying number of subwindows, an on-off switch for opening, an air went. Instead of looking through the library, you can use one single object with all the options. ### 5. Best System **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Ease of use - it allows multiple people to work on the same project. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Nothing besides having to have a PC. I can't wait for the MAC version **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cohesiveness - making sure all drawings are coordinated is priceless ### 6. Small pack with great features **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** sandeep j. | Executive Engineer , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** As it is the lite version of Revit this becomes it cheaper and easy to use. It is one of the basic software to switch over the BIM. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Being an less expensive and lighter version of Revit limits it to a certain instance however it performs tasks very well also limits it while rendering. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Revit LT is being used for 3D modeling and some of the documentation purposes. ### 7. Good software for 3D modelling, 2D sheet creations, quantity takeoff. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shahed A. | B, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Its easy to use and the data updates in real time. For example, if you are working in a plan view and if you change something then it is updated in every view and in entire building. It is real time 3D modelling tool. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Only thing I dislike is, the Revit projects saved in higher version of the software can not be used in lower version. For example, if you save your project in 2020 version of software, then you can not use them on versions lower than 2020. But it can be opened in higher versions than 2020 **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating 3D models, 2D sheets, quantity takeoffs. This helps in overall design of the project and helps to maintain and reduce the cost of projects. ### 8. Revit LT is light version of Revit with lack of Features and less expensive **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nasir K. | Sr. Executive Design, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Revit LT is cheap in price and easy to use **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Revit LT is having less features than Revit full version so you can't find every tool you need for example rebar detailing **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** If you don't have deep detailing work then go for it overall it's Revit **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have been used Revit LT for six months to modify drawing it's seems good for that but when you need deep detailing it won't work properly ### 9. Revit LT Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** It is a great tool for someone who is switched over to BIM. It has almost all the functionalities of the Revit application with a much lower price tag. It is the best BIM software/application available in North America. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Only if the tool was able to do visualizations, it would have been perfect. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** It is a great tool and the price compared to Revit is also better **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have been using Revit LT to create BIM models and interact with clients and contractors. The tool has helped a lot to reduce number of change orders and alterations to the design. ### 10. More cost effective BIM software **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abdallah A. | Structural Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 06, 2021 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** It offers the basic features that I use as a structural engineer. Be it modeling structural elements, preaparing materials take-off sheets, or phasing the project. However, the user should carefully check what features are included in the LT version and decide for himself / herself if this is the right package **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** I dislike the fact that work-sharing is not available on Revit LT; I mean, what is Revit without work-sharing and being able to reflect your work and changes for others to see and work upon. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Consider carefully if work-sharing is needed before deciding to get Revit LT. Also, note that the tools for mechanical engineers are also entirely missing. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Modeling structural elements, preparing design drawings and take-off sheets. ### 11.

This is what they promised me **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steven R. | Owner/President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Revit LT and Revit finally do what I was promised that CAD would do when I entered the profession 35 years ago. Automated schedules, instant 3d modelling, true visualization of the end product. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Revit LT omits the MEP functions, which, as a sole practitioner, frequently need to be able to draw for myself. Some of the online documentation is difficult to understand **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Watch for Promo Pricing. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick results for multiple presentation type views of the project. I was able to generate plans, sections, and interior perspectives for a design change in just a couple of hours, where creating all those different views in standard CAD would have taken at least a full day, if not more. ### 21. Teaching Revit **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2019 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** The userability to show students the main functions to create simple structures. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** The ability to share between projects can be tricky **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Some functions are not available to show students in the education version. ### 22. lacks from full version **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2019 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** gets users started in revit and the price point is more reasonable **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** does not have a lot of valuable tools needed for productive design **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** gets users started in bim environment ### 23. Can't Imagine Working Without It **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Revit's best quality is it's ability to represent information, and it's use of existing in 3d. Drawing something in plan and knowing it will exist in elevation and section, etc, is great and helps with understanding projects in a 3d realm. It's also incredible because multiple people can be working on the same file at once, which makes it the most integral tool to use in architecture. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Revit is not a design tool, and to be fair it is never advertised as one. It can be frustrating when it is tried to be used as such. There are also minor irritations with the program in general - specifically with groups and such, but they are things that can be worked around. There is also no backwards compatibility (but this is true of most Autodesk products). **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Takes some getting used to, but worth it. You'll find new things about revit everyday, and it can be very frustrating, but worth it as it cuts down a lot of time. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are creating buildings with Revit. It is great to be able to send out revit files to consultants (building engineers, contractors, etc) and know that everyone is seeing the same information. Benefits include ### 24. Mechanical design Engineer in MEP **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Easy for coordinating with all services and big time saving soft ware for Design **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Need high configuration system to work , need good internet connection to download and install the software. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Good design software available in market for Architecture & MEP Design **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Time saving soft ware, useful for coordinating services ### 25. REVIT LT it works! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonathan G. | BIM Technician/ Job Captain, Architecture & Planning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** It has everything you would need to create construction documents and design. It has all the fancy bells and whistles full Revit has and only differs slightly in that it does not do work sharing or creates in place models. There is a way to get around creating in places models and that's by creating a wall model which you can shape in any form you would like as well as create a family which contains all you would need to create an in-place model with just the added step of importing the family. It is all you need and all you want if you are a medium to a small firm that does not need to work on anything else besides Architecture and light structural and MEP. If you're doing MEP then yes you will need FULL REVIT or structural analysis or using Dynamo, if you are switching over as a newbie from AutoCAD then this will help you feel not as overwhelmed when learning BIM modeling. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** There really isn't much to dislike. However, for the sake of constructive criticism I will make an effort to think of what I believe could be done different or better. Revit for a long time used the control tab to toggle to the previous open window which in the updated version has opted to create menu tabs to move from drawing to drawing. This is helpful yet when you would like to return to the previous sheet, say after copying a detail or note or anything for that matter and you control tab it brings you back right to the first sheet opened. Which means you have to control tab and control tab until you finally reach your sheet. No one realistically does this, I imagine most surrender and just select the menu tab yet this little extra step does create a sort of a nuisance when working at a great rhythm. If Revit could keep both it would be a better drafting experience. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** It will do all you need if you are doing simple tenant improvements, moderate new construction projects that don't require intensive MEP or structural design. If you are doing design perhaps a push pull design product would best suit your needs however your model will not be intelligent such as the one Revit can produce. Transitioning from design to construction documents is fairly easy. I recommend **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating Construction Documents on traditional AutoCAD seemed to be a labor-intensive task since each view elevation, floorplan, and section would have to be drawing and edited individually even for a small change such as a door that is being placed where a previous window existed. BIM does solve a lot of the work that makes traditional drafting an arduous task. Revit LT allows you to use BIM at a low cost. When choosing the subscription version you also get to render using the Autodesk Cloud with an included 25 credits to use however you may please. It's a great deal if you ask me. ### 26. Why we use Revit LT **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zach S. | Owner, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** The price is unbeatable. You cannot get these essential tools for the same price with another program. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** No complaints. Although Revit has some hurdles to get past, the price for this product makes it a no-brainer. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a new business, Revit LT enables our firm to utilize an essential software without paying for features we don't need. ### 27. Great for independent contractors. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Almost all of the same features as Revit but only a fraction of the cost! **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Templates do not come preloaded. Cannot back save for older versions or open files created with newer versions. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** 3d modeling for clients ### 28. Review of Revit **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** I like that the software allows me to simultaneously create the floor plan while I build the model three-dimensionally. As a designer, this makes the process of designing a space quicker since I can create floor plan drawings and a three-dimensional model of the space at the same time. Also, I like the program's organization of different drawings located along the left side. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** I believe that the rendering quality can be approved. Other programs, such as V-ray, typically create renderings that are a lot more realistic due to its accurate portrayal of artificial and natural light in the space and how light interacts with objects. It requires a lot of time and tweaking in order to create a convincing rendering. Also, the software requires a lot of working memory, depending on the size of the file, which often causes my computer to shut down. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** I would suggest that others make sure that their computers can accommodate the amount of memory needed when using Revit LT. I bought a new computer that would have been able to work along with Revit LT's memory usage, but within two years, my computer completely crashed due to the overload of memory usage. I needed to upgrade to a better processor so that it would work correctly. I wish I knew earlier what to purchase in order to be able to use Revit LT. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Revit LT has more cost-effective, streamlined BIM software than Revit. Yet, it is a bit more restricted in features. I currently create floor plans and models of existing spaces in the software and then design these spaces with 3D modeling. I create working drawings on this software in order to carry out the desired design with in the space. ### 29. Design **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roz P. | Architectural Designer III, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Easier to use and nice for smaller projects and companies. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Nothing - great software! Just too expensive a large files **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Revit LT is great for companies whoa re smaller and want to use BIM for the right purposes. It is not exactly like Revit, which is a much more of a complex software - but easier for smaller projects and companies. And easy to view documents faster as well! **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps with smaller business tackle their solutions ### 30. 3D modeling made easy with Revit LT **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2018 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** It is fast, efficient and creates smooth 3D models from my 2D drawings **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** It is not very efficient in saving projects **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Jr. Architect ### 31. It's the go-to architectural drafting software for Millennials **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rebecca M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2017 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Two key command shortcuts, white background, easy to work with multiple perspectives using tiles screens. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Cannot access structural or MEP tools or functionality within the architectural Revit Lite platform, cannot create in-place custom families. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** It's the cheapest option and is offered as a monthly subscription, I recommend it for customers looking into a pilot project. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** It blends the early schematic design approach of Sketchup with the CD level documentation on AutoCAD, and I can edit one model to update all views. ### 32. Simplified Revit **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Runs faster than normal Revit, has architectural modeling and rendering capabilities. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Sometimes I'll run into issues where I need capabilities of normal Revit. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Affordable choice compared to the full Revit version, but lacking in capabilities. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Revit modeling at a more affordable price. ### 33. Good but conplex **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** I like the ability to solve problems in 3D that otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to see in 2D drawings. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** I dislike how many things require a “workaround” instead a straight forward method of drawing or modeling something. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** There are always challenges in architecture and space design that sometimes we can just get a better idea of with a “real” view or walkthrough to improve the design. ### 34. Powerful program, yet can be difficult to learn & master. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthew R. | Architectural Designer, Architecture & Planning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Integration between 3D design and 2D production. Nice looking visual production & line weights. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Not a very intuitive program. Even simple tasks can turn into roadblocks that may take a long time to resolve. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Definitely requires some formal training. Is helpful to have other staff available to help beginners with the program. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** The program has many benefits the BIM offers, including being able to coordinate doors with schedules, etc. ### 35. Revit in the Engineering field (design specialist) **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason F. | Civil Engineering Intern, Construction, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Revit platform and interface is very unique. Once mastered the productivity on this software is unmatched by any other relevant software. Revit interface is easy to manage and easy on the eye. BIM in revit is also useful when dealing with structural design. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Revit could use a better text placement function as sometimes it turns out to be a little bit finicky to get the text how you want it to look. Allowing more freedom with hotkeys and programmable hotkeys would be a bonus. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Once mastered, can be a much more productive software than AutoCAD. Simply no other software can match up to Revit's 3D modeling. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Currently staging traffic compartments of a proposed LRT system by municipality. 3D and 2D modeling is used. 3D modeling is very smooth compared to AutoCAD and easier to manage. ### 36. quality revit product **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** runs smoother in latest versions; many new functions added for 2016 greatly ease daily usage **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** I will always hate the Revit symbol menus until they make them easier to figure out wth they are for. I don't want to memorize 5,000 symbols and go through a maze of menus (that change ffs) just for the one and only tool that will do what is needed. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** good product that has improved greatly in last few years; Revit will require rethinking all process flows for training / document creation / staffing **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** team collaboration, very rapid 3d export at any given time for collaboration or client reference; full coordinated cds are far easier in revit than other products ### 37. Great for architect designs **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2016 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** I like its ease and clarity of use where anyone who opens it can easily navigate through it and perform some functions even without prior training. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** Being a previous Autocad user, I dislike it's lack of flexibility in certain functions, not allowing you to easily adjust or make changes. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** It is very helpful and easy to use in design applications. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** I work at an architecture office and we are realizing that Revit is a wonderful product to use as architects. ### 38. Revit Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vahid B. | Assistant Professor, Civil Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2016 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** it is a great tools for 3D modeling and integrating information into it. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** It is very heavy for big projects and needs a powerful computer. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building information modeling for model validation, quantity take off, etc. ### 39. Revit Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joshua W. | Software Engineer, Renewables & Environment, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2016 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Easy to use. Saves time. Rocks my socks. Being able to cusotmize partitions, wall assemblies is huge. gridlines save my lift all the time-same for floor elevations. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** It CAN be hard to get used to, and people are hesitant to change because of that. Otherwise-NOTHING. It rocks **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** suck it up and get on board already **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simplifying proicesses-cutting drafting time down by at lleast 50% ### 40. Revit User of 5 Years Moderately Likes Revit LT **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Betsy L. | Associate Architect, Architecture & Planning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2015 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Most of Revit LT functions exactly the same as basic Revit. I like this because I learned to use Revit before I started using Revit LT at my current job. So far, the only part I miss is related to 3D rendering which I will describe in 'dislikes'. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** For the most part, Revit LT functions the same as basic Revit. However, I do miss some of the features in Revit LT, like the in-program render abilities or the lack of decals as a function. As a design professional my clients want to see there logo's on signage or in renderings and without decals I have to Photoshop them in later. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** The program perfectly suites our office and allows me to 3D model, export drawing sets for our project partners using AutoCAD and gives us the option to send RVT files to those partners using basic Revit. As an associate, it works great for me and the other designers using it in the office. ### 41. Almost Everything you could ask for **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2015 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** It has most of the capabilities of the full version of revit for WAY cheaper. Great for use in small offices where there are only 1-2 people per project and not typically having work overlap. The cloud rendering option is great and saves a lot of time. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** The biggest issue I have had is with the lack of ability to model in place. For certain roof extrusion shapes or massing, LT does not allow massing in place. You have to create a new component and import into your project. Can be kind of a pain when needing specific dimensions or the ability to change as the project evolves. Also the lack of ability to run the interference check between trades can become an issue when importing numerous trades' models. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** If doing a lot of modeling in place, this may not be the right product, but for most standard construction, its a great product. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to use this software and still have the ability to create a whole project in 3D and still integrate the models of consultants has been great. The ability to see something in 3D with one view instead of 4 or 5 2D drawings pays for itself. The drawbacks of getting LT over the full version can be overlooked for the price. ### 42. Great, affordable BIM solution for a one-person operation **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Clarke M. | Solutions Specialist - Architecture, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2015 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** The selling point of Revit LT is the value. This program makes the industry-leading BIM software attainable for small or one-person design firms who otherwise couldn't afford Revit. It's an intuitive program to learn, where you accurately model a building's structure, and produce fast renderings and construction documents. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** The downside of Revit LT is that it lacks some of the features of the full Revit program - although that's the point, because they are offering a much cheaper alternative. Revit LT lacks collaboration, so only one person can work on a file at the same time. It also lacks the MEP systems tools, and some of the higher-level structural tools, so it is primarily for architects and owners. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** Use the comparison matrix to determine which version of the program is best for your needs: http://www.autodesk.com/products/revit-lt/compare/compare-revit-products **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Coordination before construction is a big selling feature of Revit LT. Also this program helps convey and sell your design to your clients, who otherwise might have a difficult time visualizing their building. The documentation tools save time compared to a 2D or CAD-based program. ### 43. Revit LT is pretty limited compared to Revit, you would be better off with Vasari **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonathan A. | Director of Design Technology, Architecture & Planning, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2015 **What do you like best about Revit LT?** Revit LT has a number of Simple Revit functionalities. It can help you get your feet wet with BIM and get a better understanding of what efficiencies you will gain by moving to a BIM platform. **What do you dislike about Revit LT?** It is missing all power features that make Revit worth implementing. **Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:** If you are considering Revit but don't want to make the substantial investment, Revit LT is not ideal, I would start with Vasari and graduate the Revit when ready. **What problems is Revit LT solving and how is that benefiting you?** BIM model coordination ## Revit LT Discussions - [What is the differences between Revit and Revit LT?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-differences-between-revit-and-revit-lt) - 1 comment - [View Revit LT pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/revit-lt/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+10%3A00%3A25+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=195beefe-95a8-4579-b216-83242f868dea&secure%5Btoken%5D=8d7e71390bf77896bf678f24d814a4ffe14d3cc5eeadf8d8478024806b8935cb&format=llm_user) ## Revit LT Integrations - [Rhino](https://www.g2.com/products/rhino/reviews) ## Revit LT Features **Design** - Visualizing - Rendering - Drawing - Editing - Sequence Steps - Dynamic Updating **Agentic AI - Autodesk Construction Cloud Integration Partners** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance **Collaboration** - Multi User - File Import/Export - Annotating - Document Storage **Construction** - Fabrication - Reinforcement Tools - Clash Detection - Grading - Earthwork **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - AI Text-to-3D **Common Data Environment (CDE) - Building Design and Building Information Modeling** - Role-Based Access - Centralized Data Management **Cost Estimation - Building Design and Building Information Modeling** - Lifecycle Cost Tracking - Quantity Takeoff & Cost Estimation **Electrical & Circuit Design - Building Design and Building Information Modeling** - Clash Detection - Electrical System Modeling - MEP Coordination - Load Calculation & Analysis - Interoperability with BIM & CAD - Circuit Design Integration ## Top Revit LT Alternatives - [SketchUp](https://www.g2.com/products/sketchup/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,296 reviews) - [Archicad](https://www.g2.com/products/archicad/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (284 reviews) - [Vectorworks Architect](https://www.g2.com/products/vectorworks-architect/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (232 reviews)
