Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Revit to combine drawings from a design team and develop the portion pertinent to my role. Which extends throughout multiple design phases.

Pros and Cons

Makes design process integrated
Allows us to have 3D results while working in 2D
User-friendly
Ability to create sections instantly
With proper setup it allows for quantification of materials.

Inability to save to previous versions.
Inability to open in lower versions.

Return on Investment

Integration of 2D and 3D speeds up layout creations which reduces time to produce same results.

Alternatives Considered

AutoCAD

AutoCAD is great but it does not create sections and elevations while designing in 2D.

Other Software Used

AutoCAD, Bluebeam Revu, Skype

Likelihood to Recommend

It is suited for most A&E tasks. It's a little less suited for more artistic modeling, since there is more appropriate software than can work seamlessly with Revit.
