industry-specific 2D production drafting functionality and integrated and accessible 3D design options and all the
functionality from AutoCAD. Users benefit from simplified mass modeling, intelligent building components,
style definitions and layer management according to industry standards.
Autodesk Revit
The Autodesk Revit platform, a new product offering since our acquisition of Revit in April 2002, provides
architects, design-build teams and other building industry professionals a complete architectural design and
documentation system supporting all phases of design and all the architectural drawings and schedules required
for a building project. Autodesk Revit collects information about the building project and coordinates this
information across all other representations of the project so that every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D view, and
schedule is based on information from the same underlying building database. The Autodesk Revit parametric
change engine automatically coordinates changes made anywhere—in model views or drawing sheets, schedules,
sections or plans.
Infrastructure Solutions Division
The Infrastructure Solutions Division accounted for 15% of Design Solutions Segment revenues in fiscal
2003. The division’s principal product offerings include:
Autodesk Map
Autodesk Map is the Autodesk solution for precision mapping and geographic information system analysis
in the AutoCAD environment. It contains the complete AutoCAD toolset to enhance productivity, plus it offers
specialized functionality for creating, maintaining and producing maps and geospatial data.
Autodesk Land Desktop
Autodesk Land Desktop is our land development design tool for the AutoCAD environment built around a
centralized product structure that stores critical data—points, terrain models and alignments—in a central
location where they can be shared by team members. Users benefit from tools that create and label survey points,
define and edit parcels and roadway alignments, automate drafting procedures, create terrain models and
calculate volumes and contours.
Discreet Segment
The principal product offerings from the Discreet Segment are discussed below:
3ds max
3ds max is a professional 3D modeling, animation and rendering software package providing advanced tools
for character animation, next-generation game development, design visualization and visual effects production.
Animators, designers and game developers benefit from the unified, object-oriented platform, customizable real-
time interface, multiple-processor support and 3D graphics acceleration capabilities, as well as support for a wide
range of plug-ins and specialized products such as Discreet’s character studio.
flame
flame, Discreet’s flagship on-line visual effects system, is a creative solution that allows artists to craft
visual effects for feature films, television commercials, music videos and broadcast promos and IDs at the
highest resolutions from film to HD television. It offers the ability to interactively create, composite and edit the
most challenging sequences that merge live action with computer-generated imagery, including new support in
