Overall Satisfaction with Revit

I usually use Revit for reference in my rebar datailing. Most of the time, I use it for structural purposes. I also issue floor setting out plan in my project using Revit structures. This was really a good software because it made our work easy with the software's tools. It is an advance way to see the hi rise project that we handle in detail by looking at the 3D model using Revit. You can also incorporate different trades in Revit such as architectural and MEPFS. By this way, you can easliy see clashes between the different trades involved. You can also convert your Revit file/model into pdf and cad file for other purposes you might be needing. Revit also allows you to work simultaneously with other modellers. This is one thing I loved about this software. You can even create rebar family in Revit so you can detect actual clashes in rebars to be installed on site. All in all, this was really a good innovation in the construction industry. This will ease the burden in the site and provide an efficient way to execute the plans in the different projects that you were handling in your company

Pros

  • Revit allows multiple users at the same time.
  • Revit provides 3D modelling/view
  • Revit can be used in different trades (structural,architectural and MEPFS)

Cons

  • Improvement in the capacity of the software to render bigger files
  • Saving process should be made more user friendly
  • Can perform more advance commands
  • It makes the work easier
  • Performs more detailed plans
For 1st timers, you will really find it hard to use the software but as time passes by, you will find yourself at ease in using Revit. It has many commands but as you train you will be able to memorize it for sure. You just have to use it more often, practice and you'll just be surprised that you already mastered it.
TEKLA specializes in rebar clashes. Revit is an overall package. It perfoms almost everything you need in 3D modeling. TEKLA has limited itself in Rebar detailing. Revit also has rebar detailing family that is almost the same with TEKLA. You can incorporate plans in your Revit file model that you are making.

Do you think Revit delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Revit is an innovation in the construction industry. It provides exceptional 3d redering/modeling of different structures. The software allows multiple users to do the modelling at the same time. It helps to view the plan more detailed to help in actual operations in the site were the project is executed.
