  • Revit 2008 Globe Link: This feature allows users to publish 3D building information models directly from Revit Architecture 2008 software into Google Earth™ mapping service. It provides the ability to acquire site information from Google Earth and import it into the Revit Architecture 2008 product for building and site layout purposes. Users can streamline preliminary project planning processes by sharing conceptual designs with clients in real time. Revit 2008 Globe Link is optimized for Google Earth version 4.
  • Drawing Compare for AutoCAD Architecture 2008 software: The Drawing Compare feature enhances collaboration by using color-coded displays to show items on a drawing that have been changed, added, or deleted by other members of the design team. Changes to items such as styles, fire ratings, or other non-graphical properties are also tracked. Combined with redlining features, such as revision clouds, the Drawing Compare features help make communication across the design team clearer than ever.
