AutoCAD® MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing Engineering) software helps you draft, design, and document building systems. Create more accurate designs within a familiar AutoCAD-based environment. Increase productivity with automated drafting tasks, manufacturers’ parts, and interference detection. Design, simulate, and document complex building systems more accurately and efficiently with Autodesk’s comprehensive MEP solutions. Optimize MEP designs, increase collaboration, and meet project and sustainability goals with Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.

Navisworks is a 3D design review package for Microsoft Windows.
Used primarily in construction industries to complement 3D design packages (such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD MEP , and MicroStation) Navisworks allows users to open and combine 3D models, navigate around them in real-time and review the model using a set of tools including clash detection, comments, redlining, viewpoint, and measurements.

Revit is a single application built for Building Information Modeling with features for architectural design, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) and structural engineering and construction. Revit is not BIM. Revit is built for BIM. Revit and other applications made for BIM help designers design, simulate, visualize and collaborate in order to capitalize on the advantages of the interconnected data within a BIM model. The key word in BIM is “Information”. BIM is centered on models made up of objects. Revit creates these objects which consist of data designers can see in different views: 2D drawings, 3D models and schedules (lists). When one piece of data changes in one view, it is updated in all other views automatically by Revit because each view is displaying the same data. Objects can also be related to other objects.

What Is BIM? BIM is a process not an application. It’s based around models used for the planning, design, construction and management of building and infrastructure projects faster, more economically and with less environmental impact. These BIM models are different from CAD drawings that may be 2D or even 3D. BIM models are made up of intelligent objects that when changed stay updated throughout the design no matter who is working with it.
