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.

Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent tool if you are willing to invest the time. " August 24, 2020 5.0 I've been using Revit Architecture since (I believe) 6.0 version I used as a student. I was actually recruited because of its knowledge which was relatively scarce in 2011. It a great BIM (building information model) software that can accomplish almost any design task. What sets it apart from say Archicad is that the built in content is scarce but the built in tools will let you design all the missing components. You might need a specific type of window, title block or dimension line - all of which can be adjusted so it fits your needs. The problem is that it takes a lot of time to develop this design environment and in the end you are totally invested and cannot switch. Still, once you get going it is great. Designing is very quick. Most options are easily visible and intuitive. The tutorials as I remember where great - you get to built a house from scratch and learn many tools. HVAC, electrical and Construction designers can do a model in Revit as well and combine with the architect. Faults in model can be spotted early. We have been using Revit Architecture for 10 years now and do not think about switching. Partly because the BIM competition is still weak and partly because now we have invested so much time that it would be hard to recreate all this experience again. But it is not a bad thing - our projects look good and designing is smooth. I can recommend Revit Architecture with a clear conscience though be ready to spend time creating your business-specific content. Pros \- Easy to learn (hard to master). And intuitive for the most part. - Family editor offer a basic programming syntax so you can design almost anything - many 1st and 3rd party addons to tailor the software - built in 3d views are basic but with ambient shadows and realistic material view they can be shown to the client as a in-progress model. Very convenient to have the possibility. Even in Revit LT (lite, addonless) - Updated every year. Often minor tweaks Cons \- Revit LT lacks (among other more important features) a tool to modify shape of a floor. Designing a 3d flat roof is almost impossible and your best bet is to draw flat lines (which defeats the purpose of BIM model) - certain families and certain corrections in the model will cause a disappearance of spot dimensions or regular dimensions. THe built-in error window will display something like "43 error" but you will never be able to locate all deleted annotations. - lack of quality content built in the software. You can create all the families (objects in model) by yourself but it takes time. So it becomes necessary that you have a designated person drawing specific families used in your company or you can depend on 3rd parties for that. The families that come with Revit are basic and often need adjustment -material schedules are not to be dependent upon. A single wall will have the same area of material that is both inside and outside but that is minor. If a wall is cut or joined with another object the volume will be double counted. At the same time any concrete elements in the wall will not be substracted from the wall material volume. Its best to avoid said schedules. - the tools for site planing are basic and often insufficient. A simple road on a slope can be a problem (unless you divide the plane into triangles) - No autosave function and "model hasn't been saved in a while" prompts. The save can take a couple of seconds sometimes but automatic would be better Alternatives considered [ARCHICAD](https://www.capterra.com/p/2018/ArchiCAD/) Reason for choosing Revit Ease of use, much better tutorial, Archicad has better content (e.g. windows, doors and other adjustable objects) but lacks an easy way to design new objects. Revit is the opposite. Revit has a larger English-speaking community. 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 AR Alma R. 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.

Si estás buscando una solución más económica o tienes proyectos más pequeños, es posible que otros programas BIM sean más adecuados para tus necesidades Pros Es un software potente que ofrece una amplia variedad de herramientas para diseñar y documentar proyectos arquitectónicos Cons Revit es caro, lo que puede ser una barrera para aquellos que tienen un presupuesto limitado o, pocos/pequeños proyectos.Tiene una curva de aprendizaje empinada y puede tomar tiempo para que los usuarios se familiaricen con todas las funciones del programa Review Source AD Amira D. 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.

Lo suggerirei a qualunque professionista, malgrado il costo sia davvero importante. Pros Ho apprezzato maggiormente la possibilità di poter inserire un disegno a mano in forma di sketch, potendoci successivamente aggiungere linee precise così da poter man mano costruire qualsiasi solido. Cons Inizialmente è molto respingente, suggerisco vivamente di fare un corso base per assorbire tutti i comandi utili. Review Source Mohamed S.

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 lN laylee N. architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "revit is a complete software for engineers " June 11, 2023 5.0 if you are an engineer working on a project and you what every detail to be in order this is the software for you but this in mind that revit is suitable for carves , domes and abstract projects . Pros if you are looking for a software to connect your architects , civil engineers and mechanical engineers together this is the best software for you. if you work properly with the software it gives you the smalls detail you need , from wall sections to pluming and etc. Cons revit isn't user friendly software or in other words you need to take courses and classes to get a hang of it . revit isn't one of those software that you just open up and start to work with ! its a professional software and and it take a bit more effort than just installing it on your computer . Review Source cS carlo S. architect Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "perfect for precision and reliability" June 6, 2021 4.0 if you are looking for precise and reliable conception of buildings, REVIT is great! this software packs every tools, that will help to draw building with all its architectural and technical details. this BIM software is great because it understand what you draw, it understands materials, elements, and many more. and this can help in estimating structure calculation, quantities, prices! understanding the materials will also let the software warn you in case of mistakes, like if 2 material intersects, or an element does not fit. that how revit is very reliable, and many mistakes can be avoided by using it. also every elements are customizable, witch will help the engineers to understand the drawings. 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 JaC Jose abraham C. arquitecto Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Revit una excelente eleccion para estudiantes y profesionales del rubro de arquitectura" December 27, 2023 5.0 es una herramienta practica y sencilla de usar y en el ambito laboral es una opcion mas que ideal para la construccion y desarrollo de un proyecto arquitectonico.

I use Revit to create a model which is used for clash coordination review in Navisworks. Revit saves lots of time in compare with other software as has many time saving and automation features. Pros It is the best drafting and 3D modeling software that I have used so far which have great features. The best part is that it is a multi user worksharing software by the help of which your whole team can work on a single project. You just need to save the file as central file. You can make a template and save it and use it anytime when your start a protect so that you not need to set the project standards like text font, leaders, dimensions style, layout etc each time. Just you can open the template and start working. Last but not the list, revit allows you to create different parameter for the object that helps to add necessary information of the object. The information provided can be extracted by help of scheduling. I will highly recommend to start practicing this software as it is going to be the future of AEC industry. Cons The only cons I have got about Revit is the it uses a lot of memory to run smoothly. One can only use Revit in effectively and smoothly if he/she have high configuration systems.
