Exciting News: Autodesk Informed Design Has Arrived!
We are thrilled to share the big news – Autodesk Informed Design is now officially here, and we couldn't be more excited to introduce it to our amazing community!
What is Autodesk Informed Design?
Autodesk Informed Design is a comprehensive product solution that integrates both Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Revit through a cloud-based web application. This setup provides a more streamlined workflow for product manufacturers and designers, enhancing efficiency in the building design and construction process.
Informed Design permits designers to design with customizable, pre-defined building products, ensuring manufacturable results. It also facilitates manufacturers in sharing their products with design stakeholders. By applying manufacturing principles to the built environment, Informed Design paves the way for industrialized construction, heralding a transformation in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry.

Key Features - Informed Design for Inventor
Autodesk Informed Design for Autodesk Inventor enables product managers and product engineers to align their manufacturing capabilities with customer requirements. This add-in for Inventor provides a more streamlined design and manufacturing process.
Capabilities include:
- Seamless collaboration: Collaborate with designers by creating configurable models of your building products and ensure that only compliant variants are generated.
- Powerful Digital representation of a product: Define standardized content to ensure that your building products meet project requirements and are compatible with other components and industry standards.
- Streamlined product documentation: Simplify the generation of product documentation at scale and generate the necessary outputs for fabrication.
Key Features - Informed Design for Revit
Autodesk Informed Design for Autodesk Revit allows design professionals to design with known-manufacturable building products for unparalleled certainty and quality. This add-in for Revit provides improved design quality, increases workload capacities, and reduces errors and rework.
Capabilities include:
- Content discovery: Explore building product definitions for seamlessly incorporating manufacturing-level detail into your design files.
- Configuration: Tailor building products to align with your building’s requirements, ensuring compliance with manufacturers’ specifications.
- Certainty: Ensure design decisions are accurate and manufacturable to reduce project risk and prevent errors.
Key Features - Informed Design Web Application
Autodesk Informed Design Web Application supports product manufacturers to capture all the as-designed information directly from a design professional’s Revit models.
Manufacturing product information is generated automatically, including bill of materials (BOM), drawings, and model outputs, as required. This web-based application speeds up the process from design to manufacture, reducing errors and rework.
Capabilities include:
- Fabrication design outputs: Generate all required fabrication information directly from the design model file.
- Capture data: Capture manufacturing outputs in Autodesk Docs to be accessed by all from one location, with no native software required to view them.
-
Product release status: Product manufacturers can control their product release status when new releases are shared and old ones are obsolete.
