You can very quickly create a building model with high level of detail and finishing.

Whereas revit is a non user friendly building modeler (as to be discussed bellow) and a user friendly object creator/editor! Very strange fact.EhĪrchicad: archicad's strong point is its flexibility. I can say that archicad is a user friendly building modeler and non user friendly objects editor/creator. You just create a model, add dimensions, link/constrain them to specific parameters and make your object work like magic actually, this is the most attractive feature in revit along side with it's 3d massing tools that is yet to be discussed. Revit: I'm surprised to find that objects (families) creation in revit is something that is as easy as drafting. creating something like the "Partition Panel "that has a number of panels and accessories on/off switches…). There has to be programming and scripting done (e.g. Of course there are objects that you can create fairly easy like simple doors or so, but if you want to add parameters or functionality to you objects. Though it's very complex and knowledge-based and process to create an object or a lib. Revit: you go into a 2d editing mode where you use 2d drafting tools (offset, trim, line, circle….etc) to draw the spline or the shape you want.Īrchicad: I have to admit first that I had no training in this topic. Slabs, fills, lines….etc):Īrchicad: very easy! You just click on an edge or node and a spline editing toolbar appears, in archicad this is done very quickly. Hey there, In my office I use archicad for everything.Ħ months earlier I decided to try revit so i had revit 2011 and did some interesting stuff with it, and came upon these points about revit vs archicad
