A simply great software, looking user friendly, easy to use, increasing the
project managment process...and much more...
but...just an exception....!
Even if, as someone has already noticed, its 3d modelling tools are useful
being parametric, it has some lack exploiting the MASS ELEMENTS tools...in
fact
in most cases the standard extrusionS and revolveS with union e substract
are sufficient but nowdays is very easy engaging in organic shapes and
structures( for example creating a glass roofs with organic structure)
..thereby there isn't any chance to import 3d model from other software (a
lack on drawing format exchange too excluding dwg) and to integrate it in
the whole Revit project process converting for examble solids in
walls..roofs etc.. or linking fills in section detail or plans etc..
Other software has already similar capabilities such as Microstation
Triforma (it has got a surface modeller too...a great thing) or are provided
with interesting plugin as for ADT who can import SkectchUp drawing and
convert his elements in AEC parametric elements.
for example take a look at http://sketchup.com/ADT/ADT_videos.php
I have a dream....improving soon the Revit 3d modeller with more cool and
useful feature for Architecture!
Waiting 4 ur opinion
