What's wrong with REVIT?
Hello,
This is my first post, and I want to make it clear that I sincerely hope that you, and AutoDesk, consider this more of a "wish list" of items for REVIT rather than a rant or complaint. I *do* sincerely believe that BIM is the future of the construction industry, and imagine that AutoDesk will take the lead due to market dominance.
However, that is no excuse for releasing cruddy software.
Hence, this blog.
I am a long time AutoCAD user, recently shifted to REVIT. I knew the learning curve on REVIT would be long and difficult, but I was excited to learn the depth and wonder of this program. I was certain that I would discover new and innovative ways of saving time and making my buildings better coordinated and detailed.
Alas, I have been suprised at the gaping holes in REVIT logic, the slowness of the software and constant questioning - "why doesn't it do that?"... things that would take only moments with a pencil and paper, or in ACAD, can occupy my entire day.
OK, on with the rant...er...blog...
