What is Revit
From autodesk.com:
Revit software is specifically built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), empowering design and construction professionals to bring ideas from concept to construction with a coordinated and consistent model-based approach. It includes the functionality of all of the Revit disciplines (architecture, MEP, and structure) in one unified interface.
Supported Operating Systems

Revit is only available for Windows. Mac and Linux users will need to install Windows first.
VPN requirement

Campus VPN is not required
Downloading Revit
Revit is available for free for faculty, staff, and students.
Due to issues with AutoDesk’s site, we have downloaded the installers, serial numbers and product keys and made them available on UA Box.
The installer is over 9GB – it will take a long time to download.
