I work for a strucural engineering office. In my office we have just recently switched over to using Revit 100% for our new projects.I am used to getting ARCH RVT files that I link into my projects and use the live monitor tools to follow changes and as a 3d background file.The project I am starting now is a 4 story multi-unit Residential building and the Architect is using Vectorworks 2d to create their package.I am starting to think that since I am receiving the files in a 2D format that going back to using Autocad to create my drawings will be a smoother route than using revit and linking in the 2d's.Any advice on this subject is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Emmett Cruey

If you are now 100% Revit then be that. Switching back and forth is unproductive and Revit has far too many advantages over CAD.

The Architect on this project is surprisingly using Vectorworks 2D for their design package. We just recently switched over to using Revit almost exclusively and we were excited to run this project 100% in Revit. All of our past load-bearing Jobs have been done in Auto-cad. All of our Details are in autocad.Being that I have no ARCH model to cut section & details from. I am starting to think that the best route for me to take on this is to go back to using Auto-cad on this project because we have a template to start with full of framing details and any details/ sections I get from ARCH will all be in 2d Cad anyway.I still want to be able to do this in revit but since any custom details and sections are going to be coming strictly from arch backgrounds and not from a live model I think that this might not be the right project to swith to Revit with.Any thoughts on this?
