This tool is fully integrated with Revit and can be used to create solar studies for any moment in time, in addition to any specified time range. Sun and Shadow Studies: The interactive sun path tool within Revit allows the sun path to be visualized to study the impact of natural light and shadows on the exteriors and interiors of the project for any location.You can visualize and quantify the distribution of solar radiation for any date and time and directly display the results on your model. With this new plug-in, analysis is fully integrated with Revit. Solar Analysis: Revit now includes a solar analysis plug-in that incorporates a more advanced algorithm than the one used by Ecotect.Here is a list of the most widely performed Ecotect tasks and how they can now be addressed with Revit: Key Ecotect solutions are now available in the Revit environment. What alternative solutions does Autodesk offer for key Ecotect Analysis features? This will include access to Autodesk® Green Building Studio® web service, support from product support specialists, and the ability to use the Ecotect/BPA forums to resolve your issues. Yes, you can renew your subscription, and you will continue to receive subscription benefits. After March 20, 2015, additional licenses will not be available.Ĭan I renew my Ecotect Analysis subscription?

When will Ecotect Analysis be discontinued?Īfter March 20, 2015, additional licenses will not be available. This change will allow Autodesk to shift resources, maximizing development efforts on BIM and cloud-based solutions for building performance analysis and visualization. This work is now at a point where, effective March 20, 2015, licenses to Autodesk Ecotect Analysis will no longer be available for purchase. One element of this evolution has been to integrate functionality similar to Ecotect Analysis into the Revit product family. Solution: Why is Autodesk discontinuing Ecotect Analysis?Īutodesk is committed to supporting the AEC industry’s increasing focus on energy efficiency and high performance design by providing easy to use, integrated software and tools, and evolving our portfolio to better meet our customers’ needs.
