Autocad vs Revit which is Better

[@Structure-Dubai]

As a structure engineer based in Dubai, I will advise, please go for Revit along with grasshopper or dynamo, For structure analysis go for Staad connect along with Foundation, idea statica For rendering twin motion For documentation excel, word and mathcad

[@theotema2053]

What about AutoCAD Architecture?

[@markblaze10]

Christ, I've been using Revit for almost a decade and I'm still learning it.

[@captainop7]

Is revit is better then all other softwares?

[@damianodaniels9684]

If you're an Architect or on the design side, Revit hands down. However if you're more MEP based, on the construction side, I think Autocad has a slight edge because of the easier transition to pre-fabrication. Even though Revit has stepped it up in this area as well. If you're background is Civil, it will always be ACAD for you. If you have a structural background, Tekla is the software for you, and it's not even close. There's a lot of people in our industry that think Revit is all you will ever need, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Learn both if you can, and even give Sketchup a try, you might be surprised.

All in one is the future….. cause it will reduce the cost. As Boss will only care about general cost not details honestly. As u can see Revit is able to cover design and construction both stag and while disciplines, the only thing is whether u willing to learn it. I prefer to use all in one cause ……less cost and headache😂. Although, Revit is imperfect in some functions and scenario but it all could be updated …..

[@eastudio-K]

From an Architects point of view, NO CONTEST, I used to use autocad for years, I will never use it again. Just go straight to Revit and enjoy. Or other BIM software I guess, but I chose the autodesk suite.

[@kristawilliams2982]

Thank you for the post! I have had AutoCAD experience for almost 10 years now and my company has asked me if I wanted to learn Revit. (Truthfully, I am terrified). I have used AutoCAD 3D before but Revit looks SOO much more complex. I have never used the program, but I guess you have to learn one day! I didn't really know what Revit was so this video helped give a quick breakdown :)

[@detoxisoul740]

Hm..it tells me that i should probably learn revit after completing my b.tech not auto cad

[@stephendoherty8291]

Perhaps learning a straightforward project and running both designs in Autocad and Revit at the same time would be useful. It may also be necessary to do a deep dive learning course focused on your own typical projects alongside others who input into the design to get a sense how others interact with the same tool and what they need to see. Autocad worked when CPU power for 3d was too intense. Now near realistic 3D is not only possible but even the most complex parts can be sent off to a cloud to accelerate any result required. In a way, Autocads requirement to update other parts of the design even if the changes you or others just made, would not work without such parallel changes is a relic. No design operates in a silo and like a spreadsheet that recalculates every other connecting cell and formula, a speeadsheet would not be as useful if one change had to be manually updated on every other connecting result. Autocad still operates as if it was smart paper that can generate instant copies, unlimited viewpoints and virtual undo/redo. My impression of revit is a intelligence on another plane and that humans operate in a 3D sense. Revit offers faster changes to what is a more fluid building design process vs finalising the building in stone and the 3D visualistation skillset of the brain being an afterthought. Great architects still like to pencil the layout and AutoCad is akin to that but 3D accepts that customers are no more likely to understand medical terms than outcomes and seeing it "for real"

Imagine being a design professional with almost 30 years of experience and being overlooked because you don't know a program that didn't exist when you were in school 🤔

I draft plumbing / mechanical piping .. I've been using AutoCad with the FabCad add on to draw our pipe in 3D..overall it's still 2D view working in AutoCad but the FabCad add on allows us to draw with real world dimensions, elevations, pipe sizing, equipment, materials like fittings, hangers, insulation, ect...create a database and store them into specific job folders, organized to the spec of the job... as we draw the pipe in CAD, we then append our file and the revit / architectural model provided by the engineer / general contractor, into Navis Works to coordinate real world and do BIM if needed. Anyone else do this? lol I'm hearing a lot about them wanting us to start drawing our pipe in Revit and Idk how much of a difference that's going to be

[@georgechadis4713]

@@sarategiun2026 I use AutoCad MEP and use the fabrication for all my electrical field Trimble points. I just save a NWC file for all my BIM clash meetings. They are all In Navisworks anyway. I also build all my 3D panels and Gear per electrical submittals. The revit families cannot compete with my level of detail.lastly I used Bill of material function for all my conduit runs to order pipe lengths. I see no urgency for Revit conversion in the electrical Contractor field . “If it’s not broke , don’t fix it” that’s my opinion.

[@JavierOropeza08]

This video came across my KZbin homepage. If anyone is considering AutoCAD vs Revit in 2022, I would suggest, as someone who worked in AutoCAD for 10+ years and then Revit 4+, you should skip AutoCAD. At the end of the day, AutoCAD is just digital drafting - unless you use AutoCAD for 3d (not so common). For architecture, Revit is the way to go and I would never work for a company that had me work in AutoCAD again. Autocad has its place, maybe in goverment/"secret" projects where cloud stuff isn't an option, or with legacy data, but 3d modeling/BIM is the way.

[@GurpreetSingh-by6ol]

Hi ,can u suggest me what should i learn first ,autocad or revit.i am very confused.i want to go Canada for my further studies in architecture,but before that i want to learn one of these softwares.can u tell me which one will be more lucrative for me

[@JavierOropeza08]

@@GurpreetSingh-by6oldepends where you end up working I guess, and what YOUR end goal is, but they are very different. Some of the skills learned in one will help learn the other, but not much. I think you should spend a little time getting used to autocad, just because it is still used by many disciplines like civil and surveyors. Revit takes a lot more time to learn and in my opinion, can be a stepping stone for other software. If you use autocad, its sort of all you will use ( unless you render stuff, most people do not render in autodcad). Good luck with your studies, school and real life work are very different

which one is the easiest to learn as beginner

[@ataylor3666]

Sounds to me like they need to enable them to be able to work together and I don't know anything about either one except that both sound like they are really good. You can take a hard core Ford man or hard core Chevrolet man that says they hate the other brand truck but if you give either one of them the opposite brand to drive for a month, both will end up saying there's something good about the truck that they like that theirs doesn't have, so my point being, both companies build a good truck, where one lacks in something, the other makes up for it and visa versa, so if Chevy and Ford got together and suddenly were able to share and incorporate their ideas into each of their vehicles, just imagine the ultimate truck that would be built, so the same goes with Autocad and Revit, if their limitations were removed and they worked together in harmony, it might end up being the software that builds the ultimate truck, but I'm just a mechanic, what do I know?

You should learn Revit hands down. AutoCAD still have it's uses in smaller companies but the future of Revit is already here. It's not a AutoCAD vs. Revit question but more of which software does BIM well and Revit takes the cake for that one.

[@jeffreyappezzato3432]

Despite many disciplines using Revit to "build", I run into a laundry list of issues during design development through construction. It doesn't matter how perfect your model is, there are too many weaknesses in the construction process, and much of it stems from the lack of experience, from architects, engineers, contractors, and the related labor forces. Despite my 20-plus years of experience working as an Architect, I've been passed over for many positions because I have ZERO experience with Revit. Revit was not released until two years after I graduated and didn't become more mainstream until the mid-2000s, well after my full immersion into the workforce. The vast majority of offices were using AutoCAD up until 5-7 years ago. Are you really expecting to have a senior person sitting at a PC generating models for you?

[@sarategiun2026]

I coordinate and draft plumbing and mechancial piping. I've only done it through AutoCad..But we use the FabCad MEP add on through AutoDesk which completely emerges with AutoCad. It allows you to create and link a full database to AutoCad that stores real world 3D piping, materials, equipment ect, .. you can create folders for each construction job your working on, and then each folder can have a specific tool pallet that has all the correct piping, materials, and equipment you need per the specs to draw jobs. While Im drawing pipe in CAD, I can take that file, along with the 3D revit / architectural model of the job, and append those into the Navis Works software so I can coordinate in 3D real world for BIM .. I keep hearing General Contractors talking about wanting pipe drafter and other trades to start drawing in Revit and idk how I feel about that lol. I'm so use to autocad i really don't want to start over and learn ahahha
