Overall Satisfaction with Revit
Revit is being used everyday in our company for everything from schematic design concept drawings to construction documents. I have started with programming in Revit with color diagrams and general space planning and have moved my project through the design process and construction documents all the way to construction administration. I use Revit for working through technical details that arise throughout the project and area take offs are made very easy.
- Scheduling of doors, windows and the sheet index
- Ease of building and the information that is stored in the model
- Accuracy of site topography design
- Smoothness of site topograph - the vectored lines always present a problem when exported to AutoCAD
- Cleanup of walls in non-orthogonal designs
- Cleanup of materials in non-orthogonal designs
- Visualization of project
- Collaborating with consultants
- Macro to micro design level
- Navisworks
Revit is my number one program for design and construction and works well with Navisworks. I use Navisworks along with Revit to clash the different systems within the building to make sure ducts and beams are not conflicting in the field. Revit exports smoothly to various programs, so if a consultant is only using AutoCAD, I can still use Revit and they can use AutoCAD and the project will still function smoothly. Revit helps me to generate project sets very fast. Once I have built the model shell, i can cut sections and tag details. As I update or refine the design, I have already set up the sheets and they are automatically current.
