In Autodesk Revit you are working with walls, door, windows, etc! You are going to feel right at home!

The tools were designed to act as an AEC Professional would expect (and once again – another reason it is easy to learn).In AutoCAD you are dealing with lines, arc and circles. Autodesk Revit was written specifically for the AEC industry with the AEC Professional in mind. It was meant to address ALL industries (including manufacturing for example).

Autodesk Revit was designed specifically for AEC applications – AutoCAD was designed to be all things for all people.

Once again – this makes it friendlier and easier to use. Sure – it’s been updated along the way but it still has much of the original look and feel (like a Command: line for example!) I dare you to find another software product with a command line! Autodesk Revit is a new product based on newer technology.

Autodesk Revit is based on newer technology – AutoCAD is over 35 years old.

Autodesk Revit is easier to learn than AutoCAD – Did you know that AutoCAD is one of the most difficult software products to learn? Believe me – if you can learn AutoCAD – you can learn Revit! There are about 5 different ways to do anything in AutoCAD and oh so many tools and steps to learn! Revit is simplified and streamlined making it easier to absorb and easier to get your designs completed.

Let’s take a look at some of the differences between the two products that just might make you feel a little more optimistic.

I have seen it happen over and over again. You will wonder what you were afraid of and what took you so long to do it…and you will happily put your AutoCAD days behind you. But for the rest of you in the AEC industry – you will probably be casting your AutoCAD aside and making the move to Autodesk Revit.Īnd just so you know, as someone who has made my living as the Queen of AutoCAD, I feel your pain! But let me also promise you this – once you make the move to Autodesk Revit – once you fully embrace it – you will never look back. Now if you are a Civil 3D user…you get to breathe a sigh of relief – you get to stay on your beloved Civil 3D software and still enter the world of BIM. While the change in process is really the larger of the two dreaded obstacles…it’s the change in software that typically causes AutoCAD users to head for the hills. Adopting BIM requires a change in process and (usually) a change in software. You aren’t alone my friend – making the move to BIM definitely involves some changes, and that’s usually where the squirming begins. There’s just one obstacle that still stands in your way – fear of change! You understand all the advantages – you realize the world is moving to BIM and don’t want to lag behind.

Alright…your department is finally considering the move to BIM because of the myriad of reasons discussed in my previous article.
