Greetings Fucktards!
I've been leaving this thing alone since I'm only ever tangentially involved with Revit these days.
The one project I had to deal with finally came to an end after a decade+ long (fairly profitable) journey for my firm. Amusingly there were apparently several other 'Revit Holdouts' before I got here, because I would regularly find where they had (most likely in a fit of rage) exported drawings for various systems into CAD (or developed them in CAD to begin with, since fuck Revit).
I joined their illustrious ranks when a large number of as-built panel schedule updates came through - exporting panels to CAD and updating them manually rather than having to beat on Revit until they looked right (one self-imposed limitation of the project that I probably mentioned before was that it was done in Revit 2018, and nobody wanted to deal with the headaches that converting it to a new version had the potential to cause).
At some point the client may want the Revit model, but since they have a full set of .pdfs and .dwgs they will almost certainly never look at it - and even if they do, and have a problem with anything, then they can promptly fuck themselves directly in their own stupid fucking faces.
Anyway, today some people came by my desk asking about drawing a building in Revit for a proposal so they can oooh/ahh a client with our ability to show them their (fucking barracks) building to them in 3D.
I expressed hesitancy, because while I could probably slap a few walls, a floor, etc. into it - I had a funny feeling that they would try to turn it into a 'can we make X look like Y' or some other type of bullshit (or expect it to be an architecturally sound model).
'We thought you had Revit skills?!?' was their incredulous response . Yeah, fuckface - *electrical* Revit skills, because I'm a fucking *electrical designer*. It turns out the project manager (an architect by trade - at least when I used to work with him) hates our architect that is a certified Revit bitchboi and would probably ejaculate at the idea of getting to slap a model together.
They were going to check with another guy on our team , whose previous firm had choked down on the Revit dick - but who is kind of a dipshit, and is unlikely to have ever Revited up a building.
Fortunately , it doesn't sound like the Revit aspect is as important as having a 3D picture, so we might be able to get one of our guys who is proficient in Solidworks to shit one out.
It's funny how Revit keeps getting tossed around from time to time , but never by people who know what the fuck it entails, and never actually ends up going anywhere.
In all reality, I hope to never look at it again (never hearing about it again would be fine too).
As always... Fuck Revit, Fuck Autodesk, and just for good measure - fuck you.
Sincerely,
-SF
Next time: Revit 2027 review whenever they shit out a list of 'new features' or 'improvements'? 😅
