### "A Valuable Resource for building Projects"

June 5, 2023

4.0

Pros

Revit is overwhelming but is a powerful tool for renovation designs. I used Revit to plan renovations for an inn in a three-story building that my parents own. The software's comprehensive features allow for quick and precise modeling, streamlining the design process. A

Cons

One drawback of Revit is its steep learning curve. The extensive range of tools and functionalities can be daunting for beginners, requiring patience and practice to become proficient.

### "D3 Drawing program"

February 18, 2021

5.0

it is a useful program that I use continuously in the three-dimensional drawing phase and that users in more than one discipline can work on the same model at the same time.

Pros

Both architectural, structural and mechanical models can be made. Smart objects can be placed inside these models. More than one user can work at the same time.

Cons

This program is removed from the purchasing system and offered to users by leasing method. this method is much more costly for users.

### "Revit is what more and more companies are switching to and it makes sense"

September 30, 2019

5.0

Overall I think Revit is a great tool and I highly recommend it. I think it is also great for older generations who have been working with AutoCAD for 20+ years. It forces them to have to stay on their toes and to learn how to adapt to new technology in engineering and design, which I think it a great thing. It lowers the threshold for entry into various positions with a company and gives access to people so they don't have to compete with someone simply because they haven't had the chance to do AutoCAD forever.

Pros

I think Revit is incredible and I cannot recommend it enough. Its ease of use and versatility makes it a great BIM software for many engineering and architecture companies. Unlike AutoCAD, I think Revit is easier to understand, to navigate, and to adopt. If you are coming from doing AutoCAD for 30 years, it may not be intuitive initially, but people grow to love it and eventually prefer it to AutoCAD.

Cons

While I have not experienced this issue, many people I know who switch from AutoCAD to Revit say that it's not as intuitive, however, I have found it to be entirely intuitive. I think the main reason people feel that way is because they can't type shortcuts like you can for CAD. People who have done CAD for years can get sloppy and there are many ways to do many different things, you have to really know what you're doing and precision is key with Revit. I personally don't mind this, but some people do.

### "Autodesk Revit: Essential for architects"

June 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is pretty much AutoCAD geared specifically towards architecture and construction. I find it much more intuitive than AutoCAD, and it is parametric, making it simple to change your floor plan and drawings.

Cons

The default libraries can be a bit outdated. And while the cloud rendering has drastically improved the rendering capabilities of Revit, you may still need programs such as 3DSMax to create truly realistic renderings.

### "A program that fulfill the basics"

July 3, 2021

3.0

My overall experience with Revit is that is amazing that this program has a free version for students, and the cloud rendering save me more than one time. My problem is that some things are difficult to customize, and a lot of times you need to download objects to create a more complete 3d.

Pros

From the others 3d modeling programs that I used this is one of the easiest to use the first time. The interface is intuitive, and is very well integrated with others architecture softwares.

Cons

The least that I like about this software is that you cannot do really big projects in a standard computer. The program becomes heavier as the project is more complex.

### "Competitive BIM Product"

May 18, 2021

5.0

We are making BIM models for our clients to quantify the materials and for the drawing production. We have leveraged parametric modelling and automation using dynamo inside Revit. Overall, it is one of the best BIM software.

Pros

One of the best parametric and BIM software in the market. The interoperability with other BIM software using IFC makes it different from other software.

Cons

Loading time for the heavy files is quite long and BIM 360 is not completely integrated yet.

### "Has a ways to go for specific industries (curtain wall), pretty great otherwise"

July 8, 2022

4.0

Overall it's a pretty great tool, the biggest hurdle for me was when I stopped trying to make it work like Autocad or Inventor. It takes time to learn the way Revit thinks, which is not always intuitive unless you're just throwing up basic walls with windows and doors and a standard roof. I hope they will advance the curtain wall tool in future releases to better accommodate the facade industry.

Pros

It's industry standard. I work on major commercial architecture projects and I have yet to have someone send me an Archicad file to reference. Mastering the basics is fairly intuitive and you can throw up a simple building pretty quickly.

Cons

It's not very intuitive when you need to get into the weeds with details and customization. I'm in the curtain wall industry and while the curtain wall tool is very powerful, it lacks a lot of fine control and you have to do a lot of workarounds to try to do anything more than an extremely basic curtain wall or storefront. There is no provision for caulk joints between the curtain wall or storefront framing and surrounding conditions at the perimeter without very clunky workarounds. Architects don't care about that until way down the line when their doors can't be quite as wide/tall as they wanted and lead times go up for non-standard door sizes because their RO's didn't account for a perimeter joint.

### "The worldwide most used BIM software"

July 18, 2022

4.0

Pros

The possibilities it offers for all of us who work in the world of architecture in terms of design, sheet production, site control and schedule generation.

Cons

Whithout any doubt the price is the worst thing about this software, there's almost impossible to monetize its prize just for one person

### "Gives you what you want if you have the experience"

February 12, 2026

4.0

Very good. It's a staple of my drafting. It can be frustrating but there's good communities that have workarounds

Pros

It's compatibility with all the disciplines, mechanical, architectural, civil, landscaping etc. also the functionality to help with designs

Cons

The model has to be built perfectly to allow all the designs to run smoothly. When using it to design you really need a lot of experience

### "Revit Software Review"

August 5, 2021

5.0

I have been working on Revit for more than 10 years now and it is a great software to work on especially if you want to work with Building Information Modelling

Pros

Easy to use and great interface design. Plenty of online resources to get help and solve issues.

Cons

It is very expensive to deploy and the pricing is way more expensive than usual AutoCad or CAD products. For smaller enterprises, it becomes challenging to switch to Revit from AutoCad.

### "The best software out there for AEC"

September 10, 2020

5.0

It has been pretty good, I have been using it for over 8 years and it has become an industry standard.

Pros

They keep releasing new updates and features every year and with its open api, we are able to create many useful plugins.

Cons

The licensing is getting very expensive. They moved away from network licensing to named user meaning every person in the company needs to have an individual license rather than having floating licenses.

### "The best Architectural 3d modelling tool"

July 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

For me this is the best Architectural modelling tool, is fully compatible with the Autodesk suite, and many other softwares aswell. Perfect for creating BIM content, creating blueprints, schedule quantities, etc...

Cons

It comes with a basic rendering engine, but this software is not made to be a rendering tool, you can use different softwares or install the Vray for Revit and get the problem easy fixed

### "Far Exceeds abilities of CAD related design software"

October 22, 2019

4.0

I use Revit on a daily basis to develop architectural projects, and use it to coordinate design ideas on a regular basis with engineering consultants.

Pros

The coordination of all aspects of a building through all the different sheets. Change something in one view and it seamlessly gets updated on all other related sheets in the project.

Cons

Every now and then I come across a tool that I wish had the ability to do something extra. Hopefully in future releases these functions will be includes.

### "My Most-Used Software"

June 23, 2022

4.0

I have used Revit in every professional environment that I have been in so far.

Pros

Almost everyone in the design/build industry uses Revit so there's a level of consistency; it's relatively easy to self-teach and makes construction documents easy and convenient to develop all at once. The 2D/3D relationship makes it much more useful than AutoCAD in a lot of ways.

Cons

A lot of the "automatic" functions are set in their ways and require lengthy workarounds.

### "Multi-Dimensional software for 3D Projects"

September 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

The software is incomparable. It has unlimited options, and has saved me thousands of hours on my Architecture. Revit has a clean and elegant interface which makes it very easy for new users to pick up quickly.

Cons

You need a great computer for Revit, besides that I just like it so much it helped me improve my overall skills and experience.

### "The best design software in the construction industry"

July 2, 2021

4.0

In my user opinion, this software is the best on the market. It is easy to use and implement in a company. It gives you a lot of tools related to the BIM methodology. And it accompanies you throughout your project, from design, cost definition and project management. In terms of cost, it is cost-effective for a company or institution.

Pros

As a civil engineering student, what I liked most about this software was the various tools it provides you with, which helps you throughout any project. The way of integrating different types of design in one platform makes it great. This software escapes from the traditional, implementing the BIM methodology, which makes it vital in all phases of the projects where this software is used. It is also not difficult to use for people with experience in this type of software.

Cons

What I liked the least is that this software is too sophisticated for small projects. The excessive amount of tools makes it tedious for the elaboration of small architectural plans for example. Also, a negative point would be the lack of compatibility with smartphones.

### "Excellent building information modelling software"

July 24, 2019

5.0

Our company has used Revit for years and it's an excellent drafting software that makes it easy for us to share our designs both internally and externally with our clients.

Pros

I love that unlike other drafting tools Revit creates geometry that is equipped with real-life information.

Cons

The learning curve is a bit steep and some team collaboration tools don't always work the way they supposed to.

### "Working Remotely is Possible with Revit"

February 4, 2021

5.0

Overall, this software does provide what we need to produce the deliverables we need. Our company does purchase add-ins to help improve efficiency in getting the job done.

Pros

The company I work for and including myself appreciate the fact that we can use this software remotely. Revit models can reside on the cloud using another Autodesk product (BIM 360). This capability has made it possible to work on these models from home.

Cons

This software is so complex that it's not surprising that users can run into issues. Most of these issues are of the "I wish this feature can be improved" variety. That being said, there are plenty of 3rd party software developers who provide "add-ins" to try and "improve" on the features that appear to be in need of improvement.

### "best for 3D modelling"

March 22, 2022

5.0

using it daily for coordinating with BIM modelers. the designing is good, looking in a 3D view with all other users work at the same time is also good.

Pros

Multiple users can work in a project at a time. the coordination between other disciplines is at best.

Cons

not much but there must be some interface with ease to support user.

Switched from

its a basically a 2d work there is a lot of work to setup the project and the coordination is difficult.
