Revit Can Eat A Bag Of Dicks

So here we go 'coordinating' with Revshit - the worst fucking waste of time, money, productivity, mental energy, and best stress generating, schedule delaying, budget blowing, quagmire generator.

This program can't do anything without it degrading into a sadistic game of chasing around stupid problem after stupid problem - none of which have anything to do with Electrical Engineering, design - and everything to do with Autodesk making a pathetic attempt at quantifying the complexities involved in the design process.

Part of what the Revit cheerleaders who have attempted to pressure or humiliate me since it's inception don"t know (I've mentioned it here before) is that I come from an extremely diverse technical background - computer hardware, software, industrial process automation, multi-axis plasma cutters & high-speed routers.  Board level circuit design, assembly, testing, & repair.  Network design, installation, & optimization.

And that's all before you get to my knowledge and abilities when it comes to diagnosing/repairing and upgrading cars/trucks (classic and modern), motorcycles, nearly any kind of machine, electronics, or electrical and mechanical equipment - including guitars/amps/vintage synths/organs, computers, televisions, devices, and tools.

I did (and still do) all of that while having spent over a decade designing electrical distribution systems, site and interior lighting, communications, and fire alarm systems for all manner of commercial, industrial, medical, religious, educational, entertainment and sports venues, and other types of projects (over 500 individual projects) - all of which have required me to coordinate with architects, engineers, utilities, codes officials, equipment suppliers, factory reps, developers, contractors, leasing agents, and of course - the owners of the buildings we are designing.

I have a long record of cranking out impossiible to comprehend (for the average person) sets of schematics and plans on impossibly short schedules.  It requires me to have tools that don't fuck with me.

Instantaneous access, manipulation, and total control over the environment is essential - otherwise I might as well be pissing in the wind.

Or having Revit shit on me.
