Revit OpEd

When Revit Systems was released in 2006, the essence of Autodesks marketing commentary was, "this is new software so it probably doesnt make sense to tackle a project with it unless the architecture team is using Revit too." We will still be able to compare our model against 2D documentation by importing various 2D CAD views into the model.
