Revit Rendering on Cloud - Revit Clinic Report

June 15, 2011

Project Neon now supports Revit in addition to AutoCAD

Project Neon is our technology preview of rendering designs using Amazon EC2 servers in cloud. I have been on the labs.neon@autodesk.com email alias for a long time. In fact, I added our first Project Neon technology preview to Autodesk Labs almost a year ago. Since that time, the number one request we have received via email is:

Can you add support for Revit files?

I am happy to announce that two days ago the Project Neon team updated their servers to provide this capability. You can learn more about it on:

Project Neon technology preview on Autodesk Labs
To make this possible, you download a small application that uploads your building information model to the Project Neon servers. You can download this Revit add-in from the Project Neon site.

http://neon.labs.autodesk.com/
So far we've heard things like:

• "Great addition to Revit. Saves a ton of time having the rendering done on the cloud."
• "I'm very excited about the potential of this technology to unseat SketchUp in our design department."
• "Just toying with the plug-in for Revit and I love this! Great work."

Keep that feedback coming in to labs.neon@autodesk.com or the GetSatisfaction forum.
Responding to feedback is alive in the lab.
