It is great for generating models for a project that also translates to rendering/animation/VR, plans, details, elevations, sections, schedules and sheets. There is so much you can do with Revit and so many add-ons that make this program the premier program for the AEC industry. Cons I do not like that you can not go back version of Revit, meaning if a project is started in 2024 year version, you can not open that model in 2023 year version. Switched from [MicroStation](https://www.capterra.com/p/192416/MicroStation/)[SketchUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/211798/SketchUp/)[AutoCAD](https://www.capterra.com/p/265024/AutoCAD/) Revit did what we needed and did it in a much faster way. Review Source Christopher W. CEO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient and reliable software as an Architect." July 12, 2023 5.0 A solid contender to other Architecture software. Well built up software! Pros Its features and solid layout. It shows that a lot of attention has been given to the development of the software. Cons It could be improved upon in the early sketch phase. Its complexity and feature sets also makes it less unobtrusive of the early design stages. Switched from [ARCHICAD](https://www.capterra.com/p/2018/ArchiCAD/) Due to collaboration purposes. Easy synchronization across professional fields. Review Source ED Elias D. Master in Mechanical Engineer Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Complicate algorithm lead to lot of problems" November 28, 2022 3.0 I have few experience with Architectural model since I am a mechanical engineer. moderate experience in MEP drawing, but enough experience in families which I hate in Revit.Also I have 6 months in programming with Revit using C#, and I found the object oriented classes and objects are interfered to infinity (as I guess) where it can be in easy way, this core issues lead to the complication in Revit especially as I think, in families the procedures start to solve the parameters in a way lead to unsatisfied solution where it run properly. Pros Working without families, has few problems in piping connection especially (as mechanical). I think as from Architectural side few problems we have (such fix the model automatically for epsilon of errors), I create an add-ins using C# to fix this and find errors of an Architectural model or mechanical spaces. Cons The illogical behavior of some functions in families and contradictions, even in 3D presentation with thin metal sheets. Reason for choosing Revit mandatory Review Source JAZE P. Systems Administrator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Forever Revit" August 21, 2021 5.0 This was the most fun, it was very enjoyable and I remember asking myself why I didn't just trust my inner hunch and learn how to use this software earlier on in my life? Oh well... better late than never right...lol. Pros Right away I saw that this tool was more purpose-based than all the other tools I've used before which were more broad-based, so I was really happy with that. Another thing I noticed was that Revit mimics real life building elements in a smart, geometric way, it does automatic calculations and schedules plus it reduces the possibility of creating human errors. Multiple users can use the same file at the same time. This software is just simply GOLDEN!! Cons I did feel at first like I bit off way more than I could chew on but as the weeks progressed, I couldn't wait to dive in and learn something new about it because when it started to gradually make sense to me, there was no looking back after that. Revit was all I needed from then onwards. Reason for choosing Revit Revit was always the end-goal for me. I needed to familiarize myself with a more broad-based software that would teach me the jargon and technical requirements needed to use it with confidence. Switched from [AutoCAD Architecture](https://www.capterra.com/p/172801/AutoCAD-Architecture/) I had become fluent in AutoCAD and needed a new challenge, this is why I made the switch and I'm so glad that I did.

Senior FFE Designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Autodesk Revit User Review" June 18, 2025 5.0 I have been working with Revit for 9 years and it is a game changer comparing to other BIM softwares. It is straight forward and easy to use. Pros Being able to work in both 2d and 3d simultaneously is what I like the most about revit. I also like working on a shared file in the office which helps deliver projects faster Cons That the sorting/grouping when scheduling is limited which causes varies in some fields. This means taking the schedule to excel and filling in missing information manually. Review Source KP Kasia P. Landscape Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good tool for 3D design" May 8, 2025 5.0 Very positive. I combine it with render 5D Render. One can create all possible constructions. There are many Revit objects and families, which can be downloaded for free from secure websites for the projects one works on. Pros It is relatively easy to work with. It is amazing how with just working in level, you can visualize the work in 3D in the same time. It works easily with render plugin such as D5 Render, which I use Cons It is complicated to edit complexed families. Some elements can be locked or are inflexible. The learning process takes time but once mastered it is very intuitive. The license price is high Review Source AR Alex R. Project Estimator Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The essential " December 18, 2025 5.0 Pros When you need accurate BIM packages or manage materials take-offs, Revit is the essential. It allows great coordination between you and the construction service. Cons The software requires high performance, yet you may face slowness, especially with large architectural files. It also takes a long time to understand every aspect of using it well. Review Source LM Lex M. Personal Use Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Doesn't get better than this!" July 18, 2025 5.0 I have used Revit for personal use, as well as using it through my schooling, and even taken classes that are solely focused on the Revit itself. Pros It does everything I could possibly want it to. I am constantly learning new features and and shortcuts. It is relatively easy to learn and vary well organized. It integrates seamlessly with a lot of other reprograms, even outside of Autodesk's own programs. Sharing and collaborating on projects is also made easy with Revit. Cons It can be harder than some programs to learn at first as the sheer amount of features can be over whelming. As this is a result of the needs that we have for the program, I don't hold this against Revit, although I do wish there was more tutorial options as I do find myself searching online or reaching out to collogues for tips and explanations of some features.

Civil Engineer III Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Revit software review" February 28, 2026 4.0 For specific projects the software has worked and BIM is a great tool. If the project is not complexed with a lot of other disciplines it may not be worth using. Pros The software is able to detect areas of conflict when developing the model. This will aid in eliminating expense change orders during construction. Cons Differently the upfront costs to implement the software into the design process. New powerful computers are a must along with competent staff. Review Source AA Abdullah A.

December 30, 2024 4.0 I often hear that people either love or disdain Revit in the architecture profession, but even with it's downsides there is a reason it is the industry standard for BIM because of its vast menu of capabilities. Pros Revit has many integrated features as a BIM software that makes difficult tasks on prior CAD software seem simple and finally attainable. Cons Where Revit is rich in feature based options and 'type based' sequencing, it can also feel too formulaic at times when needing to focus on the design side of a project. Review Source TW Tammy W. ITFM Analyst Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Revit saves time and money" December 12, 2024 5.0 Revit saves us so much time being able to collaborate in real time. We are able to design and build at a much faster rate than ever before. Pros The thing I love the best about Autodesk Revit is the cloud worksharing feature. This allows our team to all be on the same page and it saves us so much time. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve it you have never used Autodesk products before, but it is easy to train new employees on the features. Review Source JS Jeff S. Dir. Sustainability Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still the best" February 18, 2025 4.0 I have used revit to draft/design projcts. Pros Best 3d drafting program, so easy to learn.

Architect Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Start in the field of 3D modelling and projects of larger scale and complexity." July 13, 2021 5.0 It's a great software, and it's one of the programs I've used and still use the most in architecture. It has everything you need for the realisation of a project and you just come to love it the more you learn and use it. If you get to use it enough you will start to feel that you don't need any other software to work with, but you should always keep in mind that there are complementary programs that will make the use of the program even easier and you shouldn't close yourself to the idea that it is bad to make use of them even if Revit can do it. In general it is a program that is constantly updated and really adapts to the evolution of architecture and the complexity of it; and it plans to continue to do so for many years to come. Pros Both its platform, as well as tools and the extensive work capacity that can be performed on it, as well as the comfort and ease of navigating a project from zero to the completion of final renders. From 2D plans to 3D modelling in all aspects, it is simply an amazing tool. As well as its extreme compatibility with other software not only from the Autodesk family, makes it one of the best programs for architecture and other areas. Cons Although it is "easy" to use, it can take you a lot of time to get used to it, it is one of the programmes that sometimes I still have to look for tutorials on how to use its tools even if I have been using it for all the years of my degree and part of my working life. Once you understand the basics it becomes common to say that it is "easy" to use, but it does take a great deal of time and patience not to get lost or make common mistakes that may or may not be fixable.

Site Architect Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best guarantee that the work will be executed on time without design mistakes" April 22, 2022 5.0 It enabled us to discover the final product more clearly before starting implementation, which reduced the overlap of systems in general, and thus saved a lot of time, effort and money that were previously wasted as a result of design errors and repeat business, and this also contributed to raising the quality of work significantly. Pros Revit is the best application for creating 3D models and for producing VR ready presentations. I like its integration with AutoCAD so that we can export plans and models from AutoCAD and transfer them to Revit easily. For designers, being able to draw smoothly and being able to see a temporary dimension around an object is very useful. BIM capabilities provided by Revit allow both designers and customers to see the final product before it is built, and its multiple features, make us rely on it in the field of construction in particular, and make it a basis for data at all stages of design and implementation, as it enables us to easily coordinate our services with other deals as well as study the implications provides service guidance on the structure and architectural considerations that must be made with our mechanical and plumbing designs. It is an ideal solution to prevent interference between systems and save time and effort. Cons The main problem lies in the prices of licenses, which makes them limited in use and is only owned by large companies. Also, the ideal use requires extensive training to master the skills. Review Source MO Michael O. Civil Lead Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A versatile BIM collaboration tool." July 21, 2022 5.0 Pros The ease of data exchange with other software and the capability to incorporate other tools and plugins to ease and automate tasks. Cons I would like to see a smoother integration with other design software like Tekla Structural Designer, for a more complete BIM experience. Review Source Shaher A. Project Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Revit excels at creating both 2D and 3D designs, as well as modaling and beautiful perspective rende" December 26, 2022 5.0 This program is using by large, developed companies, and there is a strong market demand for it among construction companies. Because of my expertise of it, it brought me a lot of money and saved us time and effort. I counsel every pioneer in this subject to learn and used it. Pros The Autodesk Revit program is a 3D design tool that is vital to the collaboration between engineers with different structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and sanitary specialties. As a result, there is a high level of coordination in the work and fewer mistakes because of early project teamwork. It is one of the most significant applications of Building Information Modeling (BIM), where construction engineers can enter realistic properties of objects and simulate how they interact with one another before actually implementing them. It is a sophisticated way to create models from buildings and structures that are completely similar to reality. Alternatively, a film that demonstrates the project's progression through its many stages without countless words and descriptions Cons Backwards incompatibility and absence of an automated changelog Review Source MfD Maria fernanda D. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Revit for interior design " February 12, 2023 5.0 In general, Revit seems to me to be a very complete program when it comes to designing and that allows you to determine areas and quantities, which is very important when developing a project. Pros I like how easy it is to model and how you can have a full 2D and 3D view at the same time. I am also an interior designer and I like how the program also adapts for these details Cons when creating sheets you cannot repeat the plan views so we have to create copies to use them in other sheets Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Civil Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Agrxis Review on Revit" May 13, 2023 5.0 My overall impression of Revit has been quite excellent. It is a really helpful tool for creating and modeling building structures, in my experience as an architect. The software is simple to use and intuitive, making it simple to create 2D and 3D graphics. The program has an incredible array of features and capabilities that give the design process a great deal of flexibility.Having said that, there have been instances where I've thought some aspects were underdeveloped or challenging to utilize. For instance, I would like to see additional customization possibilities in some of the annotation tools. The program can also be fairly resource-intensive, which might affect how well it performs on PCs with less horsepower.Despite these minor drawbacks, I consider Revit to be a vital tool for my job and would strongly advise other architects and designers to do the same. I was able to develop more precise and thorough models of my projects with the aid of the program, which has greatly expedited many areas of the design process. Overall, I have had a great experience working with Revit. Pros Because Revit has such strong 3D modeling features, I really liked using it. I can make intricate building models with the software, and I can view them accurately and realistically. I also value having access to such a large collection of pre-made components and having the freedom to design my own unique elements.Additionally, Revit's collaboration tools are quite useful because they let numerous team members work on the same model at once and quickly communicate updates and changes. The excellent annotation capabilities in Revit make it simple to provide thorough annotations and dimensions in my drawings.Overall, Revit has exceeded my expectations, and I heartily endorse it to anyone working in the design or construction sectors who is searching for a robust and user-friendly 3D modeling program. Cons I have used Revit and have come across some features that I believe should be enhanced. For instance, I occasionally discover that the rendering capabilities are constrained and that it can be challenging to create my 3D models with the desired level of detail. Furthermore, although the software provides a variety of tools for annotations and documentation, I occasionally find these tools to be challenging to use successfully.

REVIT lets you extract 2d plans from the 3d model, and those plan can be ready for execution if this software if used properly. so revit is not the most simple software, it is professional, and needs time to get used to, but it is very important, and for long term usage work can be done faster and better! many linked computers in one office will let them work on the same project during the same time, so coordination of architects, engineers, technical will be fast and easy. so for serious construction work, and mostly in huge project where so many elements have to be coordinated between each other, revit is essential! will avoid many mistakes, and is great for workflow. Pros this software is made for professional work -great for avoiding construction mistakes -coordination between many engeneers on the same model -not the most complicated software Cons \-so many tools, that is great but can be confusing! -not made for organic and experimental architecture Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
