Overall Satisfaction with Revit
We use Revit to build the 3D models and perform the estimates of all the construction projects. Also, we use it to send the isometric models to the project management team so they can build the takeoff with the drawings of AutoCAD and the 3D models of Revit. We use it every day to mark up the changes on every construction model for condos, townhouses and custom lots.
- For 3D rendering it's just the best option in the market, the library can take your model to the next level.
- It has a magnificent library of preset objects, you can download families of libraries into a project or save them externally.
- The auto desk drive gives you the chance to securely store, preview, and share your 2D and 3D design data using data storage designed for individuals and small teams. Turning on your projects into collaborative resource tools all your Revit models will be stored in the and cloud ready for your team.
- Revit is mainly focused on structural design, this can take it into a way far complex level that will require specialized training.
- It has an odd & difficult perspective editing because Revit isn’t the easiest software to use if you want to work on building interiors from a different perspective.
- It's not popular among other Auto Desk tools. Revit fans are going to always choose AutoCAD, since it has a lack of familiarity that means that it doesn’t yet have the same support community built around it that some other software packages have.
- Its BIM component is not very popular and the companies sometimes get shy about it. This will also have an impact on the total cost of ownership. Revit isn't cheap.
- If you start using it now, you’ll be ahead of the curve. You may need the proper training tool set to get the most from this great application.
- Revit has provided the a singular view for drafting and design hours improving the accuracy upon details and finishes.
- Revit also allows you to calculate the phase efforts since all the details that you get from the 3D models and enables you to set the estimates with extreme accuracy.
- The productivity gained once you set the proper training to the end user can take up to 50% of the budget of investment. So be careful with this.
Revit has become an essential part of any design project by facilitating smarter, faster, stronger designs that make economic sense while reducing environmental impact. BIM provides support every step of the way from design and visualization, to simulation and construction. The software helps teams collaborate, innovate, and connect with clients in more productive ways. We currently work with Revit, AutoCAD and SketchUp and Revit allows us to set a collaborative network among our construction partners reducing the time frame to make deep changes over design structures. Revit is just the tip of the blade.
