Free Revit Viewer - It's Called Revit

When someone needs to view a native Revit file (RVT files), they can just use Autodesk Revit itself. When you install Revit is comes with a viewer option as shown in the Windows 10 Start menu below. I believe this will continue to work even after installing the trial version, and the trial period has lapsed.


This is also great for someone in the office who...
just needs to review a model, as they will not pull a network license.

 When you start Revit in Viewer mode, you get the following prompt:


As long as you don't make any changes you can even print.

It is also worth pointing out that the various add-ins still work - keep in mind you can never save while in Viewer mode. The two images below show how I was able to start Enscape and make changes.



Also, notice in the two previous images, the Revit titlebar includes "VIEWER MODE".
