“BIM Modeling is just amazing in Revit. I can easily create the overall 3D of my project using the BIM modeling feature and helps with accurate data recording of the buildings.”

Prashant S.

Architect

“After drawing my project, I have my 3D model that I use to compatible the model with the electrical, structural, hydrosanitary. That makes all diffewrence because I can anticipate and solve huge problems that would be discovered only in the site construction, spending lots of material, water and money.”

Users report that Revit's Document Management is customizable and integrates well with Autodesk Cloud and BIM360. They appreciate the autosave and backup capabilities, which enhance project security. Reviewers find it easy to import/export various file formats and manage documents within the software. They highlight the worksharing function for collaboration and the ability to organize and trace changes in documents. However, some mention that Revit's document management could be excessive and requires additional licenses for full access. Of the 32 Revit users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Document Management, 91% rated this feature as important or highly important.

Reviewers indicate that Revit's CAD Tools are essential for precise drafting and design. They appreciate the integration with AutoCAD, allowing for easy import/export of DWG files. Users find the Draw, Modify, Align, and Distribute tools helpful for maintaining design consistency. They also value the ability to link CAD details to Revit and manage different layers. However, some users note that CAD tools in Revit differ from AutoCAD, which can be challenging when using both software simultaneously. Of the 19 Revit users who gave detailed accounts of their use of CAD Tools, 89% rated this feature as important or highly important.

“CAD tools within Revit are essential for accurately representing the design and facilitating the construction process. Draw Tools, Modify Tools, Align and Distribute tools help users ensure that elements are properly positioned and evenly spaced. This is important for maintaining symmetry and consistency in the design.”

Muzammil H.

Planner

“Civil still uses autocad which means being able to use their DWG files in Revit is critical to get site work into our models”

Users report that Revit's 2D Drawing capabilities are intuitive and efficient for creating detailed floor plans and elevations. They appreciate the automatic updating of annotations and dimensions, and the ability to switch between 2D and 3D views seamlessly. Reviewers find it easy to draft plans and generate 2D drawings from 3D models. They also highlight the importance of 2D drawing for construction documentation and the availability of 2D detail families for various disciplines. Some users mention compatibility issues with AutoCAD files. Of the 44 Revit users who gave detailed accounts of their use of 2D Drawing, 89% rated this feature as important or highly important.

“I really like utilizing Revit's 2D Drawing tool. Making intricate floor plans and elevations is a breeze thanks to its incredible intuitiveness. It is a very potent tool for architectural design since it can be used to measure and size objects precisely, snap to existing points and lines, and snap to existing points and lines with ease. I value the software's rapid switching between 2D and 3D views, which helps me grasp my designs more thoroughly. Another fantastic feature that saves me a ton of time and trouble is the automatic updating of annotations and dimensions. Overall, I heartily endorse Revit's 2D Drawing tool to anyone working in the building or architectural industries.”

Joseph M.

Senior Civil Engineer

“Revit takes the 3D model and allows for it to be utilized as 2D Drawings such as plans, elevations, sections and details.”

BIM Manager

Reviewers indicate that Revit's Project Management capabilities facilitate real-time collaboration and data management. They appreciate the ability to oversee project progress, monitor changes, and ensure up-to-date models. Users find it helpful for quantifying materials and managing design processes. They highlight capabilities like Collaborate and Autodesk Cloud for team coordination. However, some users mention that Revit lacks inherent project management tools and relies on Autodesk Docs for comprehensive project management. Of the 25 Revit users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Project Management, 84% rated this feature as important or highly important.

Users report that Revit's 3D Imaging capabilities are valuable for visualizing project development and detecting design errors. They appreciate the ability to create 3D views automatically from 2D drawings and the integration with plugins like Enscape for high-quality rendering. Reviewers find the 3D imaging helpful for client presentations and clash detection. However, some users note that Revit's rendering engine is slow and less effective compared to other software, often requiring external programs for final images. Of the 24 Revit users who gave detailed accounts of their use of 3D Imaging, 83% rated this feature as important or highly important.

“3D imaging is crucial for viewing the project as the model develops and seeing changes in real time. Revit has the capability but again doesn't do it quite as successfully as other software.”

Eric R.

Project Director

“3D Imaging , i think this is the power of Revit when you draw any element in 2D or Elevation Or Section its automatically build in 3D”
