 BIM is a concept/ process involving the generation and management of

digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of places.

 BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility

forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing
from earliest conception to demolition.

 BIM projects contains all information about the project which can be
extracted any time from project to complete the project efficiently.

 BIM software like Revit should communicate the sharing platform with
other software so that irrespective of any country, language or any process a
project information should is available to every concerned manpower.
Revit platform for Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a design and
documentation system that supports the design, drawings, and schedules
required for a building project.

Building information modeling (BIM) delivers information about project

design, scope, quantities, and phases when you need it.

In the Revit model, every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D view, and schedule is
a presentation of information from the same underlying building model
database. As you work in drawing and schedule views, Revit Structure
collects information about the building project and coordinates this
information across all other representations of the project.

The Revit parametric change engine automatically coordinates changes

made anywhere—in model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections,
and plans.

Parametric refers to the relationships among all elements of the model that
enables the coordination and change management that Revit provides.

Change anything at any time anywhere in the project, and Revit coordinates
that change through the entire project.

Revit user interface is designed to simplify your workflow.

With a few clicks, you can change the interface to better support the
way that you work.

For example, you can set the ribbon to one of 4 display settings.
You can also display several project views at one time, or layer the
views to see only the one on top.
