A few years ago, we had started to make some major strides getting some of our design office to use the Autodesk Design Review program for markups and presentations for clients. I was a bit disappointed that Autodesk stopped developing it with the 2013 release…or so it would appear.
Now Autodesk has updated the tool and re-released it with the 2018 software that has already begun shipping. You can get your free download here:

Design Review allows you to print sheets, views, models, drawings and more to the DWF format. The program allows you to add markups, which can then be reference back into Revit models, AutoCAD drawings and more, and track/sign off on the changes. It also have sectioning tools that allow you take a peak inside a 3D model without turning layers off.
If you haven’t given a try, do it today – with everything moving endlessly towards the cloud, this tool helps you keep some of your system based dignity again.
