I haven't had to use support altogether that often; however, Autodesk has an online forum with many of the questions that would frequently be asked. Typically there are relatively good answers, and you can find the information you are looking for. This is the primary source of support that we use.

Autodesk has always had a good support system in place. There is a massive user base for Revit, and there are thousands of forum threads and other discussions online about any and every problem that you could ever run into. For being such a large program with so many different options, there aren't many roadblocks or pitfalls that users can fall into.

Amazing 3-D tool

Revit rarely crashes, even though the size of the Central model is vast. Customer support is excellent and proactive. The user manual is easy to read, and basic steps are explained in detail. Also, family creation is easy, and sharing them is excellent. Having backward compatibility would be great.

I have not used official support channels like customer service numbers, but there are many user forums online that provide support. However, overall support is lacking because many issues and bugs in the software go for years without being resolved or even addressed by AutoDesk, which can be incredibly frustrating.

Revit has a large library of built-in elements that can be integrated into the post-processing of your structures, and also has a large collection of elements and material properties that are designed for structural design particularly.

Revit is a complicated program, even advanced users are constantly searching Google for solutions to seemingly simple problems. Between the official support forum and unofficial forums like RevitCity, answers are usually available within a few searches. Most offices hire BIM managers and try to have a BIM expert on each team to answer questions and take on more daunting tasks. Model maintenance must occur regularly, and it is best to designate someone with experience to take that on.

Autodesk has a really huge open community which help us to understand the software features. Their customer service is very good, and they even help us through social media. During the beginning they provided us many tutorials videos to help us understand its different features. They are constantly improving their services and they really listen to our feedback.
