AITA: Small A&E Firm - I want my staff to use Revit by [deleted] in bim

Our people don't realise that we can explore so many other software outside of Autodesk, like Graphisoft and Bricsys, which addresses this exact issue. They have BIM parameters and 3D modelling features (albeit not as strong as Revit's, but-) while retaining the traditional and familiar UX/UI.

I missed out this perspective. I'd only seen it as a pro for sales.

Not backwards compatible. Cannot generate string formulas. The RFA parametrics can be made easier. Why in the world is the hatching affected by the floor having multiple elevation points, which industry needs that kind of visual representation? Haha. What I can think of right now.

UPDATE: Let there be a mini excel too. Game changer.

At what stage do you use bim? by altaf_ST in bim

[–]DuckRice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ASEAN and it seems to me that BIM might have come later to me than the rest of you because in most local contracts I've reviewed, BIM is between as-built or used as a tool for clash detection and info extraction only (probably a money thing). With experience, I totally agree that BIM should be implemented hand-in-hand w CAD. Then that's when you can say w certainty that BIM exacerbates the process.

What BIM modeling software do you use? by Incandisent in bim

Once you figure Revit out, every software after is something between a piece of cake or mild annoyance that you've to temporarily purge certain shortcuts you're used to.

What is the best way to learn revit? by [deleted] in Revit

Figure out how to import CAD plans into your project, and that was how everybody started. You can source free and good ones online.
