Today, Autodesk has announced the launch of Autodesk Building Design Suite 2014, offering a comprehensive suite of software solutions tailored for architects, engineers, and contractors involved in designing, simulating, visualizing, and constructing high-quality buildings. With three distinct versions—Standard, Premium, and Ultimate—the suite provides access to a broad range of intelligent, model-based design tools alongside enhanced cloud services.
In Lisa Campbell's words, vice president of industry strategy marketing for AEC and ENI at Autodesk, "With the global construction market projected to reach $12 trillion by 2020, professionals need top-tier tools to tackle increasingly complex building projects. Over the last year, we’ve connected the gap between design and construction by offering our clients familiar desktop software alongside innovative cloud services and mobile apps that enable real-time access to project data from anywhere." Campbell added, "Building Design Suite 2014 will further streamline this process by maintaining design intent throughout the entire construction phase through the use of intelligent, model-based design right from the start. This will help our clients deliver projects more efficiently while staying within deadlines and budgets."
**New Features in Autodesk Building Design Suite 2014**
The flexibility of Autodesk Building Design Suite offers professionals a diverse toolkit, allowing them to select the optimal solution for each task and adapt swiftly to shifting business demands.
Included among the new offerings in Building Design Suite are:
- **Autodesk ReCap**: Available to all users of the suite, ReCap empowers architects, engineers, and contractors to generate intelligent 3D data from laser scans and photographs. Instead of starting from scratch, ReCap enables designers, architects, and engineers to incorporate, modify, validate, and document their design processes directly within existing environments.
- **Autodesk Raster Design**: Offers robust raster editing and raster-to-vector conversion tools, helping architects, engineers, and contractors enrich the visual content on building plans.
- **Autodesk InfraWorks 2014** (previously known as Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler): Facilitates the creation, evaluation, and communication of building projects within the broader site context, aiding architects and urban planners in achieving quicker stakeholder approval and decision-making.
**Key Enhancements to Building Design Suite**
- **Autodesk Revit 2014 Enhancements**: Specifically crafted for Building Information Modeling (BIM), Revit 2014 integrates features for architectural design, MEP, and structural engineering, as well as construction. The 2014 release introduces advanced design, analysis, and documentation capabilities to refine architectural and engineering workflows. Additionally, Revit 2014 includes the new Building Element Energy Analysis tool, providing sophisticated workflows for energy analysis using detailed Revit models.
- **Interoperability Improvements**: Enhanced interoperability between technologies fosters more efficient collaboration, including advancements in IFC, DWFâ„¢, DWGâ„¢/DXFâ„¢, and 3D solids. There are also improved interoperability functions between AutoCAD and Revit, simplifying transitions to BIM for firms.
- **Quantification Tools in Navisworks Manage and Navisworks Simulate**: Enable building customers to effortlessly transfer quantities from an aggregated model into a project.
**Expanded Cloud Services via Autodesk 360**
As part of the Building Design Suite, architects, engineers, and contractors now have access to selected Autodesk 360 capabilities, allowing them to rapidly design, visualize, simulate, and share ideas anytime, anywhere, leveraging the secure and virtually limitless computational power of the cloud. Autodesk Building Design Suite subscribers can utilize the following services:
- **Rendering**: Produces compelling, nearly photorealistic visualizations in less time without consuming desktop resources or requiring specialized rendering hardware. Available to all Autodesk Building Design Suite customers on subscription.
- **Autodesk Green Building Studio**: Helps designers, architects, and engineers enhance energy efficiency, support carbon neutrality, and assess the energy profiles and carbon footprints of different designs. Users can seamlessly share outcomes and data across engineering software programs, making sustainable design more efficient and cost-effective. Available to all Autodesk Building Design Suite customers on subscription.
- **Energy Analysis for Autodesk Revit**: Allows users to analyze multiple building design iterations, optimize energy efficiency, and strive for carbon neutrality in the cloud. Available to both Premium and Ultimate Building Design Suite customers on subscription.
- **Structural Analysis for Autodesk Revit**: Offers cloud-based static structural analysis capabilities, offloading computationally intensive tasks from the desktop. Available to both Premium and Ultimate Building Design Suite customers on subscription.
- **Autodesk InfraWorks 360**: Enhances Autodesk InfraWorks workflows by enabling architects, engineers, and contractors to publish, store, and manage large models centrally and more securely in the cloud. Available to Autodesk Building Design Suite 2014 Ultimate customers on subscription.
- **Optimization for Autodesk Inventor**: Enables architects, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers to effortlessly integrate manufacturer building components into their design process. Available to Autodesk Building Design Suite 2014 Ultimate customers on subscription.
**Editions of Autodesk Building Design Suite 2014**
Autodesk Building Design Suite 2014 is offered in three editions: Standard, Premium, and Ultimate.
- **Autodesk Building Design Suite Standard 2014**: Ideal for designers, drafters, and detailers needing foundational tools to design, document, and share drawings in the DWG file format. The Standard edition includes: Autodesk AutoCAD 2014, Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture, Autodesk AutoCAD MEP, Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing, Autodesk Showcase, Autodesk Sketchbook Designer, and new additions such as Autodesk AutoCAD Raster Design 2014 and Autodesk ReCap 2014.
