Trying to get my firm to purchase Revit so I'm working on this project with it. Can anyone tell me things I could improve to make this better? I know I could export it to Max/Viz but don't want to learn them just yet, trying to stay just in Revit. Thanks!-The Existing Condition file is just a rough representation, that doesnt need to be polished at all.

Don't try to sell REVIT on its presentation abilities because that is not where its strength is.  REVIT is great because of BIM and REVIT's ability to rganize and keep track of everything.

 

I think your models are fine and probably about as good as you should expect most of the time.

I definately agree with WWHub.  The beauty of Revit is being able to discuss overall design (as seen in your renderings) in one moment, and switch to bathroom details the next.  Cutting a section in less time than it takes to say Bobsyouruncle (and yes, they all need cleaning up, but the general form is there instantly), and changing door types as often as your client changes her mind.  Those are great strengths.  We find that it makes communicating with clients a lot easier, as we can show them the 2D drawings that they are used to, and then take a camera in to "see" approximately what the space is like.

 

Try convincing your firm to talk with just one client while you have a Revit model up and spinning around on a projector.  You will never want to go back to just using drawings again.  I really feel that the interactivity of Revit, as well as its BIM qualities, is the real selling point.

 

Just my 2 cents.
