Revit LT, also known as Revit Lite/Light, is a simplified and more affordable version of Revit, ideal for transitioning to BIM. With its intuitive 3D modeling tools, Revit LT supports BIM workflows for high-quality design and documentation without the more complex features for advanced collaboration or analysis found in Revit software applications.
With Revit LT you can share work with others using Revit and AutoCAD. If you’re familiar with AutoCAD LT, the transition to Revit LT can be especially easy. Both products have a similar look and feel. In Revit LT, you draw intelligent walls, doors, windows and other objects instead of lines. You can add dimensions and text to your Revit LT designs just like you do in AutoCAD LT.
To produce 2D floorplans in Revit LT, you create sheets and add your floorplan views. And while designing your 2D floorplan, Revit LT is simultaneously creating a corresponding 3D model. It’s the fastest and most convenient way to get into a 3D BIM workflow. You can continue to make 3D design changes throughout the project cycle knowing that your 2D documentation is updating accordingly.
The main features not supported in Revit LT (in comparison with full version of Revit): worksharing – teamwork on the project, Revit server (no Collaboration, Copy/monitor, Shared coordinates, Interference check), MEP and Structural modelling tools, conceptual masses and in-place families, creation of analysis, rendering, View filters, adaptive components in Family Editor, Generative Design in Revit, Dynamo for Revit, add-ins.

To learn how to share projects and files between Revit LT and Revit please visit Interoperability between Revit LT and Autodesk Revit.
By 2016, the Revit software has five editions: Revit LT, industry versions – Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, Revit Structure and Revit, unofficially called Revit One Box, which unified all of the above-mentioned versions. Since the release 2017, there are only two editions – Revit and Revit LT.
What’s new
Version 2025.1
- Enhanced Wall Joins control: In the canvas, you now have the ability to directly control how walls join together. By selecting a wall, you can adjust the join at the end of the wall.
- Over 60 enhancements: The 2025.1 update brings more than 60 enhancements to Revit LT’s stability and performance, all based on community feedback.
Version 2025
Revit LT 2025 focuses on sustainability and environmental impact, as well as improved modeling capabilities.
Core & Architecture
- Total Carbon Analysis: Estimation of both embodied and operational carbon impacts from the beginning of the design process (using Autodesk Forma and Carbon Insights).
- Project Management enhancements: Introduction of Sheet Collections for efficient sheet organization, flexible sheet groups, and improved search within the Project Browser.
- Enhanced data exchange: Simplified IFC export with IFC Category Mapping, support for STEP file linking and exporting, and updated gbXML schema.
- Modeling capabilities: More efficient and flexible modeling with automatic wall joining and perforation of joined walls by doors and windows. Improved arrays in families (create single element arrays and empty arrays).
- Collaboration and coordination: New “Coordination Model Changes” palette for precise tracking of modifications and improved coordination with Autodesk Docs.
