Pros

“There is a reason why Revit dominates the US market and will continue to do so if they do not make some drastic changes.”

Jared H.

Owner

“this software is very good thanks to its rendering, and with it you don't have to draw the internal elements of a house yourself.”

Cons

“Struggles with larger scale work, some of the functions are non-intuitive and occasionally struggles to find a reason why elements have disappeared”
SM

Simon M.

Architectural assistant

“Probably my biggest annoyance isn't with the software itself at this point, more with the fact that I feel sometimes we don't use the software to it's full capacity, often because we aren't aware of a feature / ability it has until someone stumbles upon it.”
AM

Ann M.

Drafter

“The biggest con is that most engineering firms use Revit, so the collaborative element with outside firms is limited.”
