We were immediately impressed with the ease of use. The company decided to investigate a more integrated implementation by testing Archicad, Revit and ADT on three separate, similar-sized projects.

Levitt Bernstein has been using BIM software in the form of Archicad on an ad hoc basis for a number of years. We expect and hope that Revit will soon become the industry standard and we can finally leave 2D drafting behind.ĭylan Murdy-Green, IT manager, Levitt Bernstein Revit Structure and Revit Systems are now interesting more practices in our industry. It needs to be more data-efficient to be snappier on screen and could do with a better rendering engine, but I understand that Autodesk is working on these points. I’d say high-spec P4s and AMD Athlons with 2Gb of RAM is a minimum spec. Hardware upgrading has been required, however, in order to run Revit efficiently. Going back to the grind of making changes on 2D cad after spending a week on Revit is a painful thing to do. We have also witnessed a big increase in productivity on many project stages - the powerful scheduling and parametric features enable fast design changes. Revit seems to force you to think about the construction process as you build the model, which can only be a good thing, particularly for younger members of staff. There is little doubt that Revit has been designed, in part, by architects.

And I can honestly say that our staff are now thoroughly enjoying the drawing process. The same staff are now thinking, designing and presenting their own ideas in 3D without the aid of a specialist visualiser. It would sometimes be at this stage that design problems would be flagged up and major design decisions made, often late in the day. Often an architect would design in 2D Autocad only to sit alongside a visualiser while they created a 3D model of their design ideas - a frustrating and hourly rate-eating process. Just six months ago only a small handful of our staff were capable of producing 3D models and imagery. We sent most of our technical staff on a two-day training programme at Excitech and soon witnessed a remarkable transformation in our studio.

Revit, like most software, requires a learning curve to be built into its implementation program. We continually have a busy workload so we are still using Autocad 2006 and Revit 8.1 despite 2007 and Revit 9 being on the shelf.

RESIDENTIAL DESIGN USING AUTOCAD 2006 UPGRADE

We are on the Autodesk subscription programme, which gives us one upgrade per year, but we find implementing upgrades this often is unrealistic. We have since expanded as a practice and have added a further 15 Revit licences solely due to the success of the program.

Our first purchase 18 months ago was a 20-licence upgrade from full Autocad 2000i to Revit Series 7, giving us the important full Autocad 2005 software plus Revit 7. John Low, technical director, KSS Design Group Last month Autodesk announced it had signed up 100,000 users of its Revit 3D modelling program.īD asked four UK customers for their verdict on what the firm dubs ‘the best solution available’
