Pros/Cons
Pros
- You don’t have to attend their classes because they have a great library of videos to help with the learning curve. They also have a great community of people working to help you solve problems.
- This is a great program, even for users that are beginners (like myself). They have great tutorials and the program is very inexpensive.
- With adding on features like attenders you can really walk into your home and have complete vision about it. My clients are really very happy after having a picture real view of their dreams.
Cons
- With so many features, we were worried training materials would be hard to come by for our staff.
- Everything, I hate every single thing about this software. It is not smart whatsoever.
- People developing the software should be people that actually produce drawings for a living not some software geek that has no clue or concept about what it takes to do a full set of drawings.
Pros
- 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.
- 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.
- With great Autodesk help support and an active online community, you can always find solutions to any issue you may have. I have been recommending Revit to colleagues every chance I get.
Cons
- Nevertheless this is its biggest problem: it is sometimes too generic and lack of some features, also is so "big" that it is difficult to learn.
- 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 aspect that I found most difficult about this software is the lack of tools available while creating final layout and presentation sheets.
