Understanding Revit flavors

- [Instructor] You can purchase and install Revit in a few different varieties. It does come as a single, standalone application. But it's also included as one of the applications within the AEC, or architecture, engineering, and construction collection. This collection includes several Autodesk tools used within the building industry, including Revit, AutoCAD, and many others. However, each product within the collection remains a separate application that is functionally identical to its standalone counterpart. The main benefit of the collection is the access it gives you to several important industry-leading tools at a bundled price that is significantly less when compared to purchasing each tool separately. Therefor, if your workflow requires frequent use of other Autodesk tools like AutoCAD or Navisworks, then the collection is likely the best way for you to acquire Revit. If you're a small firm or a sole proprietor and you don't need access to all of the professional features of Revit, most importantly team collaboration or work sharing, you can instead opt for Revit LT. Revit LT is a limited functionality version of Revit that is focused on architecture only for small teams, and it's available also as a standalone application or within a collection that includes AutoCAD LT. For firms that don't require the full version of Revit, the LT version comes at a very attractive price point. There is also an educational version of Revit available. Now, this version is functionally equivalent to Revit, except that it does not give access to some of the subscription features that the collection offers. It also includes a watermark that gets added to any printed or PDF output, but otherwise it is functionally the same. Now, there are certain eligibility requirements for the educational version, so be sure to visit the website to learn more and to see if you qualify.
