Almost thirty years ago, I was first talking about computer modelling of buildings. I ‘drew’ the first axo chair in AutoCAD 25 years ago and showed it to her. I documented full houses in 3D ArchiCAD 20 years ago in our design studio, while she looked after our children. Sort them, check against models? Or a tablet.

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." Why assume that there is no value in creating a model of the MEP scope of work even if the architect doesnt use Revit?

In AutoCAD based products you have the ability to see things that won't plot through the use of No-Plot layers. One way to handle the situation is to create separate view templates for modeling and for plotting. In Revit Architecture using detail level shows the appropriate amount of detail at different scales in objects like walls.
