Should Architectural Practices switch over to Revit?

Last updated Aug 29, 2024

Revit is a Building Design software that helps you in Design and Drafting of a facility. It has features that helps Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals to Design, Analyze, Visualize and produce Drawings for all stages of Design, from Concept to Construction.

Introduction

Should Architectural Practices Switch over to Revit?

Revit has been gaining importance by AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry) in recent years. One of the primary reasons for this is that Revit is one of the essential tools that support BIM Process. While Revit helps in improving coordination between building elements, BIM helps coordination between project teams and different disciplines.

This post explores, the reasons why should Architectural Practices switch over to Revit. What are the benefits and implications of switching over to Revit.

The Current Scenario

Architectural Practices have been using AutoCAD or a DWG compatible alternatives such as ZWCAD for more than 4 decades. Low cost per seat and availability of trained resources has been the main reason for such a wide acceptance of CAD software.  CAD is Computer Aided Drafting primarily used for creating 2D Drawings.

The need for 3D presentations has always been there in Architectural Practice. CAD is not really suitable for 3D Modelling and Visualization. Specialised 3D Modelling and Rendering software such as 3Ds MAX.

Understanding Toposurface in Revit

Toposurface or Topographical surface is created by using Toposurface Tool located on Massing & Site Tab. This tool allows us to create Site Topography in complete three dimensions. We can study slopes, identify buildable areas, plan out roads and paths. We can identify areas of potential problem as well as areas of opportunity. In a way, we can perform the Site Analysis in a fair amount of detail. In a situation, where you are working on a project, that is on a large piece of land and has great complexities, site planning is done using other software such as Autodesk Civil 3D
