Pros

“Revit is an indispensable backbone for modern engineering and design workflows, completely transforming how structural models and construction documents are coordinated. While navigating the dense, cluttered layout of the user interface can be daunting at first and requires a significant time investment to master, it eventually becomes second nature for efficient day-to-day modeling. Despite coming with a heavy price tag, performance bottlenecks on massive files, and frustrating native rendering limitations that require third-party plugins, the sheer efficiency, parametric coordination, and multi-discipline power Revit brings to complex projects make it hard to imagine working without it.”

“You can essentially create 3D models and 2D drafting simultaneously. If you get good with creating templates, you can almost automate the drafting process while modelling the building.”

Colby F.

Architectural Technologist

“Where Revit is rich in feature based options and 'type based' sequencing, it can also feel too formulaic at times when needing to focus on the design side of a project.”

Pros

“The most impactful features include its powerful vector-based drawing engine, layered design structure, context-sensitive editing tools, and comprehensive selection of editing and drawing features.”

Researcher's

“We took Google Earth elevation profiles and an aerial into MacDraft Pro and laid out the terrain diagram we still refer to, even though the drone topo is now at hand. If you need isometrics, it's a snap (literally), and easier than in AutoCAD. And its easy to use photos and drawings directly as reference.”

Michael Y.

Owner

“I would like the print function to be more flexible; often I want to print just a portion of a page on my at-home 8 1/2 x 11" printer, but there doesn't seem to be a way to hone in on a specific part of the layout for this.”

Cons

“The user interface features a dense, cluttered layout with a steep learning curve that makes onboarding beginners difficult, as mastering custom families, templates, and parameters takes months of dedicated practice.”

Structural Consultant – Site Engineer

“I do not like that you can not go back version of Revit, meaning if a project is started in 2024 year version, you can not open that model in 2023 year version.”

“The software requires high performance, yet you may face slowness, especially with large architectural files.”

Cons

“The previous version I had purchased LOTS of templates along with the app. When I updated the app ONLY to the newest version, none of my previous templates are usable and support never replied to my request for help.”
