Overall Satisfaction with Revit

The entire organization is using Revit under various departments for production and CAD support. Various disciplines such as Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire Protection, Fire Alarm, and Technology use it for creating drawings for construction solving the problem of multiple discipline coordination and 3-D viewer for various disciplines organization-wide.
  • Multiple discipline coordination
  • Multiple people opening and working in the same model at the same time
  • 3-D viewing
  • Slower operation
  • Importing CAD
  • Slower synchronization
  • More efficiency
  • Complex design problem solving
  • Simple collaboration
Revit is easy to operate and involves various families for different disciplines. It also involves one single model where different users can open, work, and synchronize at the same time, making collaboration easy. Also, users can view other disciplines in the same model making the placement of families easier compared to AutoCAD.
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.

Yes

Did Revit live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Revit go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Revit again?

Yes

Revit is well suited for applications that require multiple disciplines under one single model. Different sheets can be created for various disciplines, and all the families can be viewed by anyone having access to the model. It is less suited for applications that have fewer components and simple design and single discipline.
