Overall Satisfaction with Revit

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Revit to model interior design intent for a commercial project. It allows us not only to design models but also to store information about the project and all its specifications for the design. Additionally, it enables us to visualize the design in 3D using Enscape and obtain realistic renderings for our clients.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Efficiency
Ease of use.
Information storing.

Cons

Limited in shape modeling.
Hard to explore very complex ideas.
Crashes frequently for larger projects.

Return on Investment

It is efficient.
It costs a lot of money for a license (especially for a 1,000+ employee company).
It has capabilities for full digital delivery.

Usability

Overall, Revit is a reliable tool with a wide range of features that support efficient project delivery. It offers strong capabilities for collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously. However, while this collaborative functionality is valuable, there is still room for improvement to enhance its performance and reliability in multi-user environments.

Alternatives Considered

AutoCAD

Revit makes 3D modeling accessible and efficient, allowing users to create complex models without needing to navigate overly complicated systems. Its intuitive tools help streamline the modeling process, enabling designers to focus more on design intent. This ease of use is especially beneficial for quickly visualizing ideas and design solutions.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for quickly getting ideas into actual, realistic models. Although it requires a lot of coordination, it is a relatively great tool for group collaboration, allowing multiple people to work on the model simultaneously. Sadly, Revit is not a great tool for modeling unique complex designs compared to other programs like Rhino.
