I am currently studying the options for a MEP firm that has been using AutoCAD for the last 15 years. Their AutoCAD has been highly customized. They want AutoCAD. Especially a change that requires them to change the way they think about design. We have been using AutoCAD to draft. They want a Revit Systems.

Why should I walk away from a proven product like AutoCAD, when I have so much invested in it? Of course the answer can be different for everyone of them depending on individual needs and uses of the software, but I would like to offer up what I see as the big ticket items that make ABS so appealing. I can plot to DWF and 3D DWF.

Translating standard details from AutoCAD to Revit: Now, you can import DWGs into Revit and not do anything else to them. You can also scan details and import them as images but we completely translated our details from PowerCADD to AutoCAD to Revit by way of DWG files so we could improve on their graphic quality once they were imported.

The office eventually moved on to PCs and we used AutoCAD for a short time. In one year Ive learned what I had to to develop working drawings, weve managed to build up some Revit content, weve organized our templates, and we are successfully developing our details and other drafting standards transfered from PowerCADD to AutoCAD to Revit.

Once an as-built model is done you might want to archive a copy of the model just incase the design scope changes and you have to start all over again with a clean as-built. Now Im sure you are all aware that as the design develops the project architect and the client are both going to want to explore varying design iterations.

The first thing is I dont think the next big innovation will really be in what we might call the traditional "CAD (Computer Aided Design)" space. We have Autocad, we have Sketch-Up, we have Revit, and all the various permutations thereof. What am I interested in?

Digital Drafting Whether you liked AutoCAD, MicroStation, or whatever. (I We still drafted, but with digital lines. Instead of digital lines, new entities called objects were introduced on the AutoCAD platform that contained specific properties to the object type. I was a big fan of Mac Architron.) Digital lines.

A common thing for beginners, is to go right to the trim tool in search of a fillet option (because they are likely more familiar with AutoCAD).

In the end producing coordinated CDs spending more time on design and less on drafting is the real benefit to MEP firms. AutoCAD is record albums and ABS is CDs. You will want to know what the software is capable of and what it can not do. Now plan out the purchases (Hardware and Software), the required content creation.

Well right out of the gate, if you want to implement new software and change processes, you'll have some things to nail down and a lot of issues to deal with. 1) Sell the idea of changing software to management Everybody's boss is different but here are some ideas based on ABS. Here's an example.

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."

Revit Systems debuted early this year giving MEP engineers a third choice of CAD technology to use; it may have also caused a bit of confusion on what software is really the best for any given firm. No matter what software you are using, they fall into three general categories: digital drafting, object oriented and parametric.
