I'm writing about both the process and the software. Ask the average AutoCAD user or Revit user if they know what it is or if they've used it and the answer all too often is, "What's that?"

Since he is interested in developing a software application intended to support viewing Revit models via a 3D PDF Converter his need is a bit broader than just my opinion. I was approached by Mike Shell recently. He needs interest from bigger organizations than mine. He is seeking statements from firms that support his business plan.

Let''s not kid ourselves, it really does cost money to "do" things, especially things that a given (Revit) software doesn''t support. Working within the Revit system, however flawed we view it to be, will at least ensure that our documents are consistent, predictable. It takes effort to resist the urge to be unpleasant. 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Using the information you gathered, evaluate your performance & talk to team to ameliorate the subsequent project. A construction plan is a sequence of documents, that describes the given project.

I am currently studying the options for a MEP firm that has been using AutoCAD for the last 15 years. There are great standards in place and the whole company seems to know what to do to get construction documents out the door. We need confident CAD users who are fluent in 3 CAD languages. AutoCAD is best for drafting.

For example, while almost everyone publicly agrees that no-one software (not even Revit) equals BIM – all sorts of other descriptions are likely to float around, from simple ‘one word’ depiction to highly complicated bullet-pointed explanations.

When software uses the same word we routinely use to describe something we do it is supposed to make it easier to understand and use.

In a sense, because BIM contains more information that is structured more efficiently than traditional product like CAD files, spreadsheets and drawings.

It started off with CAD, then, when BIM was getting strong enough to stay – it extended over almost anything to do with Construction Information Management. Almost, I state – as the non-graphical data management is still somewhat outside its claws, i.e. project, people and time document management.

Typically BIM uses real-time, dynamic building modelling software working in 3D, 4D (workflow) and, increasingly, 5D (quantity surveying) to increase productivity and efficiency, save costs in the design and construction stages, and to reduce running costs, after construction. . How does BIM work?

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."
