I do believe that Revit Architecture is the descendant/replacement for Architectural Desktop. Even so, plain old AutoCAD and especially LT have not gone the way of the dinosaur!]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:32:47 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2183&PID=6321&title=autocad-obsolete#6321 <![CDATA[AutoCAD Obsolete??? : try archicad otherwise :) ]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2183&PID=6254&title=autocad-obsolete#6254 Author: tumulus

Jay,

What i meant was, I don't know if it's the best or not. I haven't used any other BIM software. But even if there is a better one, it'll end up being one of those VHS vs Beta type deals. (where revit is VHS).

Thanks for the compliment on my work.

Thanks for the reply gregory..I will definitely download the 30 days free trial of Revit..

Just one question, you mentioned that Revit is not the best BIM software out there. What software do you think is better?

And you are correct that Autodesk dominates the CAD industries. They are buying out competitors as well. 

Anyway, I checked your website and I really like the project and the drawings that you've done..Great job!!

Thanks for dropping by,

Jay

Get the demo version of revit from Autodesk.com and start playing with it. For me, it's the best way to learn software.
 
I'd suggest waiting until you are going to be serious about it. You'll have 30 days of full functionality starting from the first time you open it. That'll make it easier to do the tutorials (although not necassary)....but even more so it'll make it easier for you to go off on tangents while you learning and try small projects/tasks that interest you. Since you'll be able to save you will be able to revisit those drawings while you complete the rest of  the tutorials.
 
After the 30 days you'll be able to use pretty much all of the program as before with the exception of saving. There are a couple other features that are disabled (maybe plotting?). These will make it useless for production....but still useful for basic learning.
 
I agree with what you heard from others. Autodesk is pushing Revit hard. Despite that :) I have switched over to it. It may or may not be the best BIM software out there, but because Autodesk owns it, it will probably dominate for the next 5 years or so. It certainly is much better than architectural desktop.

'm sorry for that Vladimir,

it will not happen again. I really think that learning how to use software to get job and therefore legal licence is helping to developers earning money at the end. Pitty that developers are not issuing free versions for these purposes.
Anyway once again sorry for that.
