Now I know people will read this and say "This is an AutoCAD forum"
But to that I say, "by definition Revit is Computer-Aided Design & Drafting"
I like this forum, I don't want to have to manage 2 different forums now. Call me lazy. or anti-social, what ever. I need more coffee.:sleeping:

there is already a 3d modelling & rendering section - surely revit comes under that banner no ?

I suppose it could... and don't call me Shirley. :lol:

i'd like to see a Revit section as i can see it getting more and more popular within the next year.

I am getting very familiar with MEP (Formaly Autodesk Building Systems). I would also like to see this come up as well, for me to help others, and to attract more people who work directly with this software. I think it's a good idea to bring up a Revit section, not to mention other specific apps. :)

We are going to have our Revit MEP and Revit Structural training some time in January.

That's exactly what I use, Revit/MEP Suite. thing is, you use either one, they are not the same programs. I'm getting very familiar with MEP before I dive into Revit, but from the documentation I've been reading up on, REVIT is definitely a more solid program in many ways, but MEP is still extremely "fast" because it still uses old-school AutoCAD techniques.

Rob, just FYI for you, you might want to sign up over at www.theswamp.org (http://www.theswamp.org) forum board, they have REVIT and MEP sections over there. hell, the last 10 threads in the MEP section was from me... haha. 8) :lol:

I'm more than happy to provide a new Revit forum if you think there is a demand. I'm guessing that there will likely be a move from acad to revit in some sectors over the next few years and so it would be sensible for us to move in the same direction.

OK, here you go (http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=45) :)

I have yet to work with Revit, however I did go to a networking architectural firm to get an over-view of the program. It is to my understanding that it is code in the state of Wisconsin to provide Revit:BIM drawings with the full building drawing sets from now on. They are the leading arch. firm in the state and have funded to have it taught in the local colleges. I think that it would be worth while to have a forum due to the new growth of the program. It will be helpful for hints and ease of use while learning! It's predicted that it will be the primary drawing program within the next 5 years and there may or maynot be layering capabilities with AutoCAD.
