Coming from a much smaller, mostly AutoCAD-based consulting firm, one of the first questions that I asked our Revit experts was how to address projects that contained typical units such as hotels, apartments, and dormitory buildings. <br /><br />I was stunned to find out that we were expected to lay out devices for *each* and *every* unit. If Revit is the future, why does it feel like we're going backwards? Why do projects in Revit take significantly more time to complete, yet offer little to no added value to the owner?<br /><br />A conversation I once heard at work:<br />"Are we doing this project in AutoCAD or Revit?"<br />"AutoCAD."<br />"Great!
