Revit

Revit is a design program from AutoDesk. The program is designed to take the place of the popular AutoCAD. There are many features that Revit has that will help it replace CAD. To do this Revit has several key features to speed up and improve design time. A crucial part is the fact that when a element is added to a building, it appears on every view. It shows up on the 2D, 3D, elevation, everything. This cuts down time by not having to add an element to every rendering.

One of the most time saving is the fact that, when working on a project, when certain changes are made the designer does not have to go back and change everything to fit. For example, if the designer wants the door to be 3 ft from the end of the wall, when he or she changes the length of the wall, the door will remain at 3 ft from the end of the wall. If the designer sets parameters, he or she will know that the object is in its place, or at the proper size.

Overall, Revit seems to be a far simpler program compared to CAD for the amount of work that it does. It cuts down on time, therefore saving money. It is suppose to be easier to learn, and it has the elements of CAD that are needed and more. Revit seems like a crutial program for a design firm.
