we also figured out that the massing tool is a powerful modeling element that can be used in conjunction with software such as Rhino. We liked the user interface and archtiectural tools of Archicad, but ended up being sold on Revit's constraint system, which it seems if used properly, gives you great design flexibility (ie move a floro level and have all elements constrained to it adjust accordingly). We invested about 30 hours in each program, and decided on Revit. Wed, at 4:23:13 PM | RE: ArchiCAD versus Revit Thanks in advance for everyone's assistance, Incidentally, we specialize in residential and light commercial work with a modern emphasis. What I am looking for is opinions from this forum as to why AC is better than Revit - what can't Revit do that AC can? I have obtained trial copies of both and have gone through tutorials and sample projects.
We have decided that using software applications like ArchiCAD will yield efficiencies in our organization on a number of levels however, we are trying to decide between AC and Revit. I know that this topic has been discussed in the past, however, what I am trying to decide is whether to move my office to ArchiCAD or Revit.Ĭurrently we are using SketchUp for the design process and Autocad LT for the documentation portion of our projects. I am interested in understanding the same thing from a Revit perspective: Here is a message that I posted on the Graphisoft forum for ArchiCAD. Wed, at 3:04:08 PM | ArchiCAD versus Revit
