Engineering firm Melia Smith & Jones uses SOFiSTiK software for 3D rebar modelling in Autodesk Revit. Most engineers still produce classic 2D reinforcement drawings using programs such as AutoCAD ® combined with CADS RC. SOFiSTiK involves the annotation side when creating reinforcement drawings in Autodesk Revit.

In the end, they are ‘just’ a software provider, successful at what they are doing, why can’t I just let them be. I’ve learned AutoCAD on DOS, in 3D with no mouse in the early 1990s. I owned professional licences of AutoCAD, Revit, Studio Max for many years. My biggest problem is not that Revit is a ‘dog of a software’.

In AutoCAD you can add text to linetypes but youll notice that in Revit you cant. This workaround involves drawing a repeating detail line (with imported text) on top of a simple detail line. Type out the text you want in AutoCAD (at a height of say 6") and save as a DWG. Now draw a detail line in any view of your project.

CAD drawings are used during Level 0, but there is no sharing of the generated information models. Softwares like Aconex or Viewpoint can be used as the CDE. In a few words, BIM Level 1 is focusing on the transition from CAD to 2D and 3D pieces of information. To the contrary, everyone is free to use a distinct CAD model.
