About the Informed Design API
What is Informed Design?
Autodesk Informed Design makes building component data accessible during design – helping designers and product makers increase certainty, speed delivery, and improve project quality. With Informed Design you can
- Publish component data and parameters (e.g., doors, balconies) in Informed Design for Inventor.
- Configure and integrate building components seamlessly into designs within manufacturer guidelines using Informed Design for Revit.
- Manufacture products in the Bill of Materials (BOM) efficiently with minimal back and forth using the Informed Design web application.
