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.

For some reason BIM authors (architects, engineers, etc) think that because they create the initial BIM information they have the right to full control and to charge for the BIM model throughout the life of the building. The architect doesn’t model ductwork, they use the mechanical engineer’s model.

The other issue is when the data in the CAD file is small enough in extents but really far away from the files origin, according to the WCS which is all Revit really pays any attention to.

These words are used to compare Revit with other software and are often meant to highlight the strengths that Revit has.

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."
