It was one of the reasons my then boss John Mullan, MD at House Henderson Architects was so interested in the product. Anyone remember that? Early adopters will.
What I do find amusing is in the early days of Revit, the software was initially offered on a monthly rental option. That is compounded by the recent IFC4 announcement.Īnyway, back to the Revit history lesson. The reality is that as governments start to push the whole IFC / COBie delivery requirement, all AEC solutions need to start to respect the need for data to be sharable & of an open nature. Passionate users of both camps spend hours defending their beloved solutions on social media like it’s some sort of life or death affair. ArchiCAD community says Revit sucks at IFC the Revit community says who gives a stuff when it has the majority of the market share. It’s actually a really boring discussion now, what is more important is whether the tools can truly talk to one another, are open & interoperable. Some will argue that ArchiCAD is better, Revit is better, blah, blah, I’ve heard it all before. But Revit has developed into a mature solution which will deliver model based design & can be centroid to the BIM process, but it’s not BIM per say. Maybe not as long as that other BIM app which begins with “A”. Revit 1.0 was released on the 5th of April 2000, so Revit has now been gracing our earth for 13 years. But before we get into the juicy bits, let’s pause for a second & review some Revit history.
There is frenzy in the Revit community twitter goes into hyper drive & the bloggers go mad (including me), as Autodesk serve up the latest greatest version of Revit for us to use & abuse on our BIM projects. Oh yes, it’s that time again when the red carpet gets deployed.
