Avatech Solutions Announces Revit Test Drives

Avatech Invites Industry Professionals to Try Building Information Modelling Tool for Free

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - February 2, 2006 - Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: AVSO.OB), the recognized leader in design and engineering, product lifecycle management, and facilities management solutions, invites architects and CAD Managers at design/build and architectural firms to take a test drive for free using the latest Autodesk Revit Building software. Avatech will host 10 people per session using state of the art computer labs in cities across the country.

"We've designed special test drives exclusively for people who have not seen or used Revit before," said Mark Haddad, Vice President, Building Solutions Group at Avatech. "From conceptual studies through the most detailed construction drawings and schedules, applications built on Revit help provide immediate competitive advantage, better coordination and quality, contributing to higher profitability for architects and the rest of the building team."

Highlights of Autodesk Revit Building 8 Revit is the premier building information management tool for people who design buildings holistically, rather than in isolation with separate floor plans, sections, and elevations. Using the built-in parametric change technology, Revit makes changes in any drawing at any point in time easy. Revit automatically coordinates a change everywhere in a project-model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections, plans, and renderings. This allows designs and documentation to stay coordinated, consistent, and complete.

Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Autodesk's Revit 30-day test drive CD.

Dates and Locations Test drives will run in 10 cities starting February 10, 2006 and will continue with varying content for three months. Most events begin at 7:30 am and run for two hours, just before the workday begins.
