Autodesk Live rebrands as Revit Live, adds new features in Version 1.7

Autodesk Revit Live, previously known as Autodesk Live, is a cloud-based service that transforms a Revit Model into an immersive experience in one click. While the new name appeared on the product centre website for the first time on March 9, 2017, it will be until April before the new name is used on the product with the next product release.

This, and other new changes come after the addition, in October 2016, of support for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift Virtual Reality (VR) gears.






According to the company, the name change reflects the ability to extend BIM to immersive visualisation and VR.

New functionalities being added are:
i. Support for Revit LT (previously only supported on Revit)

ii. Level of Details (LOD) geometry generation and material instancing has also been added, leading to a 20% improvement for users working on large models.

iii. Custom building materials are now supported, enabling customers create unique visualisations of materials that were not inbuilt.
