Shapr3D is used by designers, engineers, and manufacturing teams for prototyping, modeling, and streamlining workflows with intuitive tools and multi-platform support.
Revit® BIM software helps architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams design, document, visualize, and deliver architecture, engineering, and construction projects.
It has the best integration with its counterparts such as Fusion 360, Rhino and various competitive solutions.
Lack of material textures (carbon, alu, steel). Lack of assembly tools for more complex designs done on the go.
Very easy to use and to learn. Tech support is very responsive and the tutorials are great.
I restore classic cars and constantly have problems with acquiring plastic mouldings which are no longer in production. I thought that this would be the answer using this software with a 3D printer.
The software gives us the opportunity to think in 3D and show immediately what we think would be the perfect mechanism or solution for a given implementation.
Or check assemblies for collisions. Also the price is a little bit steep as it’s not a parametric modeller, and will mostly be used by hobbyists.
It has a YouTube channel in which they publish useful examples to better understand how some parts can be drawn.
With Shapr3D you can literally go from idea to completed design in just a few minutes for 3D modeling. If you are looking for an app for a semi-professional use case - look no further.
With great Autodesk help support and an active online community, you can always find solutions to any issue you may have. I have been recommending Revit to colleagues every chance I get.
Pesky errors (dimension line lost reference and it will not tell which).
Revit, especially with BIM 360 cloud storage, is an amazing asset to have when it comes to collaboration and sheet creation. We also love to use Enscape with Revit to produce our marketing material.
Requires company to create its own libraries of object. Built in libraries are beyond horrible.
This software is really very interesting because it allows to make good plan of house and city the fact that it has a free version is really good.
The downside of this software is the printing part.
My experience with the software is great because it help me to model my projects to show them to costumers.
This program is removed from the purchasing system and offered to users by leasing method. This method is much more costly for users.
Greg: My name is Greg and I'm president and CEO of a design build company in San Diego, California. My rating for Revit is five out of five. Prior to using Revit, we were using Chief Architect, which did okay, but it was frankly unimpressive as far as the modeling in 3D and going over to Revit was a completely different experience that our customers love. The reasons we went over to Revit was because we wanted better modeling, better construction documents, and at the end of the day, we wanted a better presentation for our customers to see 3D and virtual walkthroughs so they could really see ahead of time what their construction or remodel is going to look like. So we consider Revit an enterprise program, so it does take a little bit of learning and setup, but once you're through that and you're up and running with the program, using it for construction documents and modeling, it definitely pays off and our customers love it. My recommendation, if you're considering Revit, is to make sure either you have someone on staff that's familiar with the program and can train others, or that you get support for setup and training so that you make the process as smooth as possible.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
