Revitology: The Evolution of Revit over AutoCAD
Despite all the bold assertions about Revit and its innovative features and flexibility, the scenario remains intact – architectural designers still slip into old “AutoCAD habits” when using AutoCAD Architecture & AutoCAD MEP. Why?
“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm (indifferent, uninterested) defenders in those who may do well under the new.” – Niccolo Machiavelli, “The Prince”.
“Revit”, which stands for ‘revise instantly’, is infiltrating into the AEC industry and is encroaching on AutoCAD. Top-notch architectural firms and construction companies rely on Revit Architecture when precision and efficiency are of utmost priority. Members of Global Fraternity of Architects (GFA) and industry experts affirm that Revit is the “future”. Despite all the bold assertions about Revit and its innovative features and flexibility, the scenario remains intact – architectural designers still slip into old “AutoCAD habits” when using AutoCAD Architecture & AutoCAD MEP. AutoCAD precision is great for mechanical or industrial application. “AutoCAD is a great tool for some things, but too many things can be “faked” with it”, concerns a veteran architect. Read More.
