(1-1 of 1)Revit - The best BIM out there
- 3d modeling for simple to mid-complexity geometries is fairly easily achieved where AutoCAD they are not.
- Initial drawing set development is much easier when working in one file rather than CAD software.
- Design revisions throughout the design process are done live in the model and universally have to affect on the drawings.
- Drawing set graphics may be too simple for some users used to full control.
- Initial file setup is better but still could be more straight forward.
- Customization with many of the design tools is not very intuitive.
- Schematic design development is not what the software is designed for.
