It''s been 14 years since Revit formally began knocking on the doors of architectural firms. When Autodesk decided to buy Revit Technology Corporation they confused many of their own customers who, until then, were using AutoCAD or Architectural Desktop (aka ADT, now AutoCAD Architecture aka ACA).

Revit harnesses the power of (BIM) to allow architects to create drawings and models. Bluebeam Revu is like a PDF viewer on steroids, allowing users to add markups and quantity takeoffs to drawings and models (our Construction Technology Manager says “it’s like if AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite had a child”).

Quantity take off procedure can be enhanced with BIM as estimate of the quantities are derived from BIM models and the model contains the information on all the objects in the building in addition to their dimensions. QTO can be organized to perform any size estimate and for checking a BIM model for precision.

I did write a post in January 2008 to describe a neat technique that the Introducing Revit Architecture 2008 book showed in a couple images. Again not necessarily the napkin-sketch-look but at least the idea that we can draw something without being too hung up (at first) with accuracy, exact dimensions or precise wall types.

Of course, while a prime location can put a venue on the map, it's really the experiences that draw people in and keep them coming back. What inspired you to begin a career in architecture/construction? So, I decided to put the investment into my education—and what better way to combine all those three things than architecture?

My journal of work in Revit as part of a 600+ member architecture firm. This is a great way to "freeze" a drawing, without having to export to CAD, and it keeps everything in the model. Autocad users can rejoice, Revits UI now supports activating a modifier command (such as Copy, Rotate or Move) before selecting any elements.

Building information modeling (BIM) is beginning to fundamentally change the building industry in a very positive way. This has included “CAD” using PEAC, GDS, MicroGDS, AutoCAD, MicroStation, SketchUp, ArchiCAD and “Raster” using Cadcore/Hitachi PrEditor, ScanGraphics, Scan2CAD, etc. Thursday: Information Exchanges.

This issue gets compounded when you also have in-house databases that host more information that should be shared with a Model or other databases.

I went to school for architecture and then flipped it to architectural engineering. And I was basically doing AutoCAD work for them. I was initially put in charge of taking all of their standard 2D models, and their library of details, and turning them into 3D details. Almost all questions can be answered in the model.

Ever since we started using computers to generate architectural and engineering drawings we''ve been inclined to provide a place on a title block to help people find the file. The file name is useful to anyone who happens to be looking at the drawings as long as they are in a position to access the digital version of the file too.
