Revit

Short answer

Autodesk's Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring tool. Automated primarily with Dynamo and the Revit .NET API.

Revit is Autodesk's BIM platform for architects, structural engineers, and MEP engineers. Unlike AutoCAD, Revit models are parametric and database-driven — walls know they're walls, doors host on walls, and changes propagate. Automation happens through Dynamo (visual) or the Revit .NET API (C#), with add-ins loaded from .addin manifests in the user's Revit add-ins folder. The pyRevit project is a popular open framework that exposes Revit's API to Python.
