### "BIM with Automation"

April 2, 2024

5.0

Pros

When it comes to repeatative task, its in integration with python, Grasshopper and dynamo is really very helpful. Also we can automate complex task as well with revit automation.

Cons

There is no option for downgrade of revit file. I think, at least they should provide this option with limitations.

### "Software for integration between engineering and architecture disciplines"

August 22, 2022

5.0

My internal workflow is more fluid after a while working with Revit, I have ease and agility in building the architectural and furniture models. The graphic result that I achieve with the software has become the identity of my project presentations.

Pros

With Revit I got to know BIM and understood the potential of this methodology. It was through the software's ability to integrate with other programs dominated by other civil construction disciplines that I was actually able to apply a viable and feasible solution to my projects. The benefits of Revit's BIM tools are recognized not only by the technical engineering and architecture team, but also by the administrative, financial and planning teams. The graphical representation that I get with the software makes understanding and communicating with different sectors easier.

Cons

The more technical aspects of Revit are essential for the platform to work, but in some ways, for architecture, they also seem to limit the creativity and organic design of architecture. I miss tools that are more free and customized for architecture. Or else it would be enough initially to change the user interface to a lighter and more didactic aesthetic.

### "Review of Revit from a daily user"

November 13, 2022

5.0

Overall its a pretty good software and industry standard at this point. It helps a lot in laborious talks which will take forever in software that just have 2d drafting. So, even if you are an organization or an individual, you should give a previous thought as BIM software are the future and are getting widely accepted in the industry.

Pros

\- It saves a lot of time as everything is simultaneous rather than working in Autocad.- Incorporating small changes is easy as you can change in one view be it 3d, plan or elevation and everything is changed. Even in you composed sheets and thus is of great help.- It has various integration with other 3d rendering software such as Lumion, Enscape, Twinmotion, etc. So, you don't have to export your model to another software, everything is just there. - Integration of Dynamo helps even more.

Cons

\- It hasn't received a lot of changes for the past 5-6 years or even more, so even if you are using an old version or a new one, there are hardly any differences.- Modelling in it as a beginner is a little hard and might seems a steep learning curve initially. - Making curved buildings requires a lot of effort as compared to simple rectangular ones.- Inbuilt render engine is not that great so you have to use another program for rendering.

### "Metodologia BIM"

February 2, 2023

5.0

Buena en todo sentido, un poco complicado de aprender pero casi completo para el diseño de construcción e ingeniera.

Pros

Es compatible con la metodología BIM, el cual en la actualidad es indispensable para ingenieros y arquitectos.Ayuda a ver errores de una manera mas fácil para evitarlos en futuros proyectos de ingeniería

Cons

Lo principal, que el software no permite abrir archivos de otras versiones ni guardar en versiones anteriores del mismo.Creo que debería existir comandos fijos para el fácil dibujo como en Autocad, CivilCAD entre otros, y no tanto de poder configurarlos a manera propia puesto que esto retrasa un poco a la hora de usar dicho software

### "Central information of architecture"

January 5, 2024

5.0

I mainly use it to extract 3D architectural models for architectural visualization in other rendering programs, it allows different workflows since it has many extensions to export.

Pros

I am dedicated to the field of architectural visualization and revit is a useful tool when creating joint work processes with other people, you can obtain countless information. From 3D modeling to construction pricing.

Cons

Probably its price, Latin America is not yet a market prepared to pay large sums of money, but I understand that it is a program with a lot of technology and extremely useful, I truly believe that it is worth what it costs.

### "Revit for Structural Steel design"

June 6, 2023

4.0

Overall, the use of Revit has been a very valuable and useful tool to the organization. We have been have able to visualize and model products for take-offs and quotes effectively.

Pros

the ability to create our own families for our products and quickly produce drawings parametrically.Implementing has been a pretty easy process. But like a set of legos with many ways to assembly. We are always striving to best develop the best process and practices for long term use.

Cons

We wish Revit was a combination of Advanced Steel and Revit. Even thou this is not the best practice for this type of software, our new users are adjusting to new techniques and practices based on Revit and BIM modeling.

### "Insightful design software"

September 2, 2021

4.0

Considering the compatibility with other Autodesk applications and helpful features such as 2D and 3D drawing, BIM modeling, presentation tools this is a great application to use. But it comes with a larger price tag. Can be used for many purposes and currently, this is the industry standard for designing. Designing complex structures will be harder but considering advantages and disadvantages this is a good application to use.

Pros

Another great solution from Autodesk. In Revit, we have the ability to draw, design, and model structures depending on our needs. With tools to draw in 2D and easily model it into 3D, Revit is the solution architectures and civil engineers have been looking for. And especially with modeling and presentation tools Revit is the whole package. This package can be effectively used for architectural, structural, HVAC, and MEP modeling. And with enhanced support from other Autodesk applications, Revit seems like the industry-standard design software.

Cons

The main disadvantage is the higher price value for Revit. So middle and startup companies have to think twice before purchasing Revit. Also somewhat harder to create complex models. And for a beginner, this would be harder to learn and use.

### "Revit is the future"

April 13, 2021

5.0

Revit handles 3D better than its competitors Whether it's a plan, section, facade, perspective or 3D section, Revit can handle everything. It is very simple to create, for example, levels (floor, roof, ...), draw axes (future walls) without risk of error. Revit is used by architects and all other areas of construction to reduce design and maintenance risks. It also allows you to anticipate project performance even before construction begins, to create better quality concepts and to improve delivery conditions. No matter how complex a project is, Revit can manage your entire design from start to finish.

Pros

Revit is a BIM (Building Information Modeling) software, which allows you to model a building's data in 3D. Revit works in plan, section, facade, perspective, orthogonal view, 3D section and bill of materials. Revit: The World Reference in Data Modeling Revit is a tool that allows you to document a building from its virtual conception to its maintenance, once completed. The function of the Revit BIM tool is twofold: centralizing the data relating to the entire building, as well as the geometric and non-geometric design. Revit reduces modeling time because making changes is very simple. The software takes its name from this idea ("Revise-It"). Revit also uses "families" that can be downloaded to model a building more quickly. Families are collections of objects (furniture, lights, heaters, etc.), and textures that will feed the architectural project. Revit adds standard textures allowing you to render faster and make changes later.

Cons

It has usability considered complex, especially for designers with little technological affinity.

### "Revit: One Stop Solution for Construction Management"

December 15, 2022

5.0

Revit is a hope for all those architecture students who wants to complete the submission requirement in one go.

Pros

The software provides a platform for all kinds of work from the inception of a construction project to its execution. The software is very handy in handling the working drawings and their cost estimation.

Cons

The software is a boon for all architects, the only thing Autodesk can change is the compatibility of different saved versions of the Revit files.

### "3D Design Software"

May 2, 2023

5.0

I am completely satisfied for my requirement with this software but we need to use plugins like Enscape and twin motion.

Pros

The one the best feature which I suggest for everyone was 3D rendering availability when compared to SketchUp and all.

Cons

It takes time to export or import project sketch from 3D to 2D but even this also depends on system configuration as well.

### "Best BIM software for Architects and Engineers (students as well)"

November 29, 2022

5.0

It is lovely! Tried several other products and this is still the easiest to use and my favorite. Still use it till date and don’t think I am gonna stop anytime soon as long as I am practicing architecture.

Pros

Revit is one of the best and easy BIM software one can easily get started on. The features are easy to learn how to use. I love the fact it is easy to bring in other file types like cad files, pdfs, images and you can also export in so many different formats. Revit makes team work easy with the work sharing feature and the fact it allows for so many other professions like civil engineers, electrical to be able to carry out their own works on it as well. It is one of the best platform that works with so many other softwares easily like sketchup,rhinoceros and grasshopper, 3dmax, vray, enscape. It also has it's own simple in built rendering software. Revit considers educators and students and let them have access to the softwares for free!

Cons

Although really good, revit does not allow for newer versions of the software to open files from older versions except if the file is upgraded to the new version which sometimes data can be lost. You can't open newer files in older versions and there is no option for a downgrade like the upgrade.Also, the cost of the software is high. As much as they offer it free for students and educators, if you don't fall in this category it can be quite expensive to purchase especially for those who probably don't earn a lot.

Pros

Some of the new features released are fantastic. I love being able to drag and drop file types directly on to the page - like jpegs, png and pdf.

Cons

The collaboration tool could do with a bit of improvement. In its current state it is a bit clunky when multiple people are working on the same job and tends to crash often and/or freeze.

### "The greatest 3D design tool for spotting system overlaps & understanding the result before execution"

February 4, 2022

5.0

All architectural models, MEP and interference detection can be verified without the need to export the model into another program.

Pros

As a result of this flexibility, Revit is an extremely user-friendly tool. Modern BIM processes for design, construction, and owner data can be effectively managed on top of it. Real-time collaboration is made possible by Revit, which allows us to better integrate our mechanical and electrical engineers with experts from the building's structural, architectural, and electrical departments. When it comes to creating a virtual reality-ready representation, Revit is an excellent 3D design program. Allowing designers and clients to see the finished product is one of Revit's most important functions.

Cons

Experienced and well-trained users will have no problems, especially if their computers are powerful and fast enough.

It's an excellent program.

Pros

You don't need to use any other drawing programs if you learn how to use it. I started to use Revit in 2015, and I was witnessed how the improvement implemented in most of the Revit features. Recently, Autodesk has been improved an energy analysis model feature to suit the 2030 plan of reducing carbon emission to zero.

Cons

Need to improve in structural analysis modeling.

### "3D design tool for detecting system overlaps and visualizing the end outcome."

March 2, 2022

5.0

When an issue was discovered, Revit helped us avoid the need for extensive rework by creating healthy system builds and eliminating any intrusions. Interference can be detected directly in one application without exporting the model to a different software and checking it.

Pros

Using Revit is critical to completing any project on time and on budget. Revit eliminates the need for rework, which reduces the amount of time it takes to complete a project. We are able to collaborate with consulting teams from across the globe thanks to cloud-based technology. When it comes to creating a virtual reality (VR) presentation, Revit is an excellent choice.

Cons

I can't fault Revit because it's a superb 3D drawing product that I use as a professional. Those who are well-versed in the software and have access to computers that are fast and powerful should have no issues.

### "Revit for work"

September 3, 2020

5.0

Pros

This Software is my main one when it comes to work, I like that I can easily do 2D and 3D at the same time wile doing any drawing also that the software works like is real life so it helps me knowing that what I'm drawing is correct or if not it would appear a warning. Working in 2D and 3D this days is the best tool because most of our clients like to see what the project will look like in real life and with this we can do it in a short time too This software also lets me work together with others like AutoCAD or SketchUp, this is very helpful since so many people are doing the transition from AutoCAD for example to Revit and the have the projects in CAD

Cons

What I think it could be fix in this software is to find and easy way to apply location or sun position for projects that have a rear topography or needs/want a sun/shadow projection. Other thing is when we have more than 2 views open at the same time have the option to minimize which ever we want, this last version doesn't have that option anymore and it was a good one when working in big projects

### "Top software for design collaboration "

July 1, 2025

4.0

Revit is an exceptional software that allows you to design and analyze multiple trades in your modeling efforts for the projects. Even though there are multiple Bentley software, Revit still manages to be the top choice of engineers when it comes to collaborating with each other and delivering a digital product. Its been tricky to incorporate Site Civil/ Land development features into the Revit model and that is where Revit needs to upgrade itself and fill the gap that currently exists.

Pros

Collaboration of the different trades such as electrical, mechanical, structural, & fire protection etc is the best feature that Revit can offer.

Cons

Collaboration with Site Civil is still something that Revit lacks today. Site Civil uses Civil3D as their main go-to software and interoperability between Civil3d and Revit is something that doesn’t work well. You have to find a work around to make it work. Using NWC exports, or IFC exports works but does not carry all the information.

March 7, 2022

4.0

Overall, after using multiple BIM programs, I feel like Revit has the market edge. It easily integrates the widely used file formats and has features that puts it in poll position such as Dynamo which is a huge drawer. However, the document management could be much improved.

Pros

Revit works well with DWG files which are the industry standard. It also is a solid BIM program with most of the expected features. It is relatively straight forward to create good looking 2D drawings. The collaboration tools are useful.

Cons

The internal management of sheets could be better. This has lead to issues with batch printing and sheet numbering.
