Revit is great for documentation. I also use Rhino 3D for rapid prototype scenarios that can be imported in, but in the end everything should be documented in Revit because it really is easy.
There are really no competitors to Revit for large complex building projects. It is essentially an industry standard, and we would not be able to complete our work or collaborate with our consultants effectively if we did not use Revit. AutoCAD is still used in the office for …
I think that out of all of these, Rhino is best at having the freedom to design in 3D specifically, and it is a better 3D design tool than SketchUp and Revit. I think it pairs really well with the use of AutoCAD for 2D construction drawings and other 2D outputs.
Rhinoceros 3D is an excellent tool for quick concepts, as are programs like SketchUp and AutoCAD. However, Rhinoceros 3D excels at being flexible in terms of file exports and the capability to work with other software easily like Adobe Creative Suite, Revit, and more. It is a …
Our company has all of these products listed above. In the design field, it would be misguided to think that one tool is all you need for a collection of staff with varying levels of expertise. It's not a question of 'one or the other', but rather how can they all contribute to …
Rhino is a generic platform. For BIM, you can combine it with Revit or ARCHICAD or look for extensions, such as VisualArq or the GeometyGym extensions for Grasshopper. Due to its good interoperability, I often use it for reviewing AutoCAD drawings or converting 3D models. …
It's hard to compare Rhino to other modeling software as Rhino is in a niche of its own. No other software (to my knowledge) is as customizable/programmable and has such a large community and such a large amount of free, open-source addons. Rhino (and Grasshopper) can be …
Rhino serves a very specific purpose in my work: for any geometry that can't be described simply in plan and section, Rhino offers tools to model and document these geometries. With the Grasshopper plugin, Rhino is my go-to tool for any parametric design tasks, such as creating …
