On several occasions I've had a new Revit user "discover" Revit's vertically stacked partitions. They usually think this is the quick and painless answer to all their problems with exterior walls; changes in materials, water tables, etc. I usually then have to patiently explain why, even though they are conceptually a good idea, vertically stacked walls are in fact the devil incarnate (per our Autodesk Revit contacts) and that in the long run these wall types tend to cause more problems then the

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. There are great standards in place and the whole company seems to know what to do to get construction documents out the door. CAD has been clicking along here for some time now, but there is an ever-increasing pressure to be able to deliver something more than the competition.

So far in a number of our projects, we find that conceptual and early schematic design usually involves still using 2D cad to either explore design options, or because the staff doesn't have the Revit experience yet (and may never :) ). We recently ran through an exercise on a project in that situation that I thought was useful. This project had the elevations drawn in ACAD, by the designer (base on Revit elevations).
