### "Once you get used on using revit, you'll not use another software! "

September 23, 2021

4.0

Pros

How it can be connected with other electrical/mechanical plans directly.. the capability of having 3D architectural models and using sections easilyy.

Cons

This software is somehow complicated to start with, especially due to the extra features it contains, so to start with it you should watch alot of tutorials or study it with an expert.. however, once u know how to use it you'll not switch to another software!

### "REVITize your Design"

November 11, 2020

5.0

This is a very valuable program for all facets of a project, from schematic design through construction and into operations.

Pros

This software allows you to not only visualize the design but also ensure that all the drawings that make up the construction document set are coordinated with each other. One of the most powerful things with this program is "a change made once, is a change made anywhere". This core functionality is what allows for the automatic coordination and consolidation of the construction documents to reduce possible errors in coordination between all the drawings.

Cons

There are times where the software does not lend itself to some more complex geometry. It would also be a plus if there was better integration between the design models and putting it out for fabrication which is becoming more and more viable as a construction practice.

### "Simply the best modelling software for the construction industry"

April 23, 2021

4.0

I manage the upgrade, licensing and deployment of our company's AutoDesk products and have been working with Revit for around seven years. other than the aforementioned backwards compatibility issues, I've always found Revit to be reliable, easily upgradable and once it's up and running, usually hassle free from an end user point of view. We use a token flex licencing system from AutoDesk themselves and the configuration of this is very simple.

Pros

Revit is the go-to modelling software for construction/architecture/MEP/etc. Built on the trusted AutoDesk infrastructure, the software is robust and reliable and, although not easy to use if you're a beginner, suitably complex to produce designs for multi-million pound projects for large construction companies (such as the one I work for). Revit is also backed up by AutoDesk's usually excellent customer service and licencing options

Cons

My only gripe with Revit is that it has never been backwards compatible with older versions of itself. It appears to be the only AutoDesk product that is like this and I've never been able to work out why. Using AutoCAD as an example, you can upgrade to the newest version and then still collaborate on older designs with others on lower versions. With Revit, you can't.

Reason for choosing Revit

It's the best one

### "Software completo, amigable y poderoso"

June 20, 2021

5.0

En mi caso lo he utilizado para trabajos universitarios y permite realizar trabajos mucho más completos y elaborados en comparación con otros programas, además, es un software sumamente intutivo y el tema de "short cuts" del teclado resultan sumamente prácticos y mejoran el flujo de trabajo.

Pros

La facilidad de uso que da el programa una vez se conocen los aspectos básicos es muy intutitivo. Por otro lado, Revit me parece un software sumamente poderoso debido a que permite implementar los distintos sistemas de un proyecto por separado (arquitectónico, estructural, mecánico y eléctrico) para posteriormente exportarlos a otros programas y realizar distintos análisis. Además, considero que Revit es muy flexible en términos de que es relativamente fácil modelar lo que uno realmente quiere.

Cons

Los cierres inesperados del programa debido a que se pierde todo el progeso no guardado, es por eso que es importante crear un hábito de guardar cada 5 o 10 minutos o establecer un guardado automático en los ajustes.

### "Best 3D CAD and BIM software."

June 28, 2022

5.0

Developing 3d / 2d architectural and structural/MEP models and integrating with navisworks to detect clashes and simulating 4D.

Pros

Revit is one of best 3D CAD BIM software in Civil Engineering industry creating and develop 3d CAD models and drawings with precision is so easy. Integrating it with Navisworks to detect clashes and simulating 4d has significantly impacted the construction industry.

Cons

While exporting IFC files it get slowed other than that it's a great tool.

### "Revit User Review"

July 13, 2021

5.0

Its the way of the future. Building Services requires this software for all medium to large size developments. Coordination is essential so having this 3D modeling software is paramount.

Pros

Revit is excellent in looking at a 3D model and completing building services designs particularly the abilty to coordinate with other services.

Cons

There is alot to learn so initially it can be daunting getting into. This software requires training but once trained (much like any other major software), its straight forward enough to use.

Its purely on the fact that Revit is 3D and a much more powerful software to use. We still use AutoCAD for smaller 2D jobs that are not required modelled in 3D.

August 15, 2019

5.0

Revit has changed the way I design, updating my plans while I focus on modeling.

Pros

Revit is simply superior to all other software on the market, with its nature BIM is the present of architecture.

Cons

I would like Revit to be more intuitive and certain functions to be less complex.

Loved using this and would recommend. Still use it today for both design related projects and personal space planning.

Pros

Loved how easy this software is once you know the basics. So easy to go from 2d to 3d which is a dream for visualizing. Ability to draft and render in one program.

Cons

Importing can be annoying as is finding models to use for specific item pieces. Have to "model in place" which takes up file size and can be tricky to figure out.

### "Revit User Review"

November 12, 2019

4.0

Love and hate relationship. While Revit is great for how it looks and holds information, it is clunky and slow many times. Inefficient in what needs to be done to complete our jobs.

Pros

The ease of sharing information with other people inside and outside of my organization. It’s easy to have multiple people working on it and continue to collaborate and share information.

Cons

The sluggish processing and drafting time when modeling elements. There are many times where a simple task becomes fixing Revit issues more than drafting. Family parameters should be more accessible for customization by the user. Also the setup process at start of a project is a long process that’s not easily streamlined. Architectural models are not always consistent, and there are no tools that can format any architectural file into a template for our use.

We use it to perform solar study analysis, heating and cooling analysis. We are happy with the tool.

Pros

Seamless integrations with Autocad. Affordable pricing. Vast library with parametric components Communication with other users who are working on the current projects are easier.

Cons

It takes a long time and effort to learn and become an expert. "How to use" tutorials can be improved.

July 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

Revit is by far the best parametric modeling software that we have used in our office. The ability to design in 3D allows us to more fully flesh out details and resolve issues before they arise.

Cons

When considering the cost, keep in mind that if you haven’t used similar products before you will likely have to pay for staff training.

### "Revit Review"

November 29, 2021

5.0

Working in BIM is great as helps reduce the amount in the field RFIs and provides better coordination among the whole project team.

Pros

I've been using Revit for almost 10 years working in MEP design. I currently am my office's BIM Manager where I maintain all incoming models, train other co-workers, I primarily work in electrical design team but, I also assist with sprinkler and plumbing modeling. I love working in the BIM/3D environment.

Cons

I would like to see them (Autodesk) implement single phase panel schedule templates into to work from as a base and make them more customization so, we can make them look more like the Excel panel schedules we use for our AutoCAD designs.

Revit has many benefits such as coordination between architecture, civil and MEP. also, its is a good tool for project management

Pros

Revit has multiple options that can help the project manger to track the execution of a project starting from the design stage to Drawings (fully coordinated between all trades: Architecture, Civil and MEP), Quantity Surveying, Document Management, Planning/Scheduling, Estimation/Pricing and finally facility management after the handing over of the project.

Cons

The software is a bit complicated and heavy on the PC drive because of its multiple features/options

### "Revit is Great, but pricey "

September 27, 2020

5.0

For architecture, Can’t beat it, but I in occasionally find the need to return to Inventor for things Revit can’t do.

Pros

We deal with Rails on a weekly basis. And this software has modifiable rail and rail systems as well as stair systems. I think that Awsome. Creating a home mockup for visual purposes for clients takes less than an hour. Love it.

Cons

I absolute loathe that for how advanced the software is to build a home, it stinks to be able to make components. You can’t treat families as components. The ability’s to customize them just aren’t there, it wasn’t what Revit was made for, although I wish it would.

Alternatives considered

[Autodesk Fusion](https://www.capterra.com/p/178416/Fusion-360/)

Reason for choosing Revit

Revit BIM abilities were advanced. And manufacturers are marketing 3D BIM products downloadable to Revit. Makes drafting that much faster if I don’t have to design a part!

Switched from

[AutoCAD](https://www.capterra.com/p/265024/AutoCAD/)

I need to be able to 3D a home quickly, and I couldn’t do that easily with AutoCad.

### "A phenomenal Design Software"

May 8, 2019

4.0

After doing years of drafting with AutoCAD, I discovered Revit and it has never been the same again me. I have been more efficient, reliable and authentic with my designs.

Pros

When it comes to 3D modelling, Revit stands out to be the best in my opinion. I like the fact that it has structural, mechanical and architectural interfaces with the three segments containing various design components under families. Revit makes 3D modelling very easy and fast because changes on one segment are communicated automatically to other segments . As we all know time is money and therefore this saves a lot of the time and money.

Cons

As good as Revit is, it has the disadvantage of lacking popularity due to its relative newness in the market. This is challenge because a new software has few tutors and expert and thus it takes enormous time and effort to learn and master it. Revit is also restricted to buildings and cannot do designs for roads and cars for example.

### "Best Drafting Software for Modern World"

July 27, 2019

I am in love with this software. Once I am done learning all the features, I am pretty sure it would prove to be a big asset on my resume.

Pros

I feel a civil drafter can do anything with this software. If a 3D model is made correctly, sections can be cut really easily.

Cons

I feel older engineers, no matter how hard they try, are not able to get used to such advanced features.

Pros

This software quickly adds BIM capabilities to any architect’s workflow. Not only does it allow users to quickly produce accurate construction documents, but you can also colaborate with colleagues on the same model and even share it directly with owners and contractors.

Cons

The software is rather cumbersome and takes years to master. After 6+ years using the program I still find new tips and tricks.
