dbillings3- you hit the nail on the head.. the majority of revit users are only architectural design artists who just build models.. and i shouldn't say "only" because a talented artist is worth their weight in gold.. i think using revit as just a design tool instead of sketchup or bonzia3D or 3Ds Max or even revit massing- is the way of the future.. i'm not a designer- but it looks to me like they do quite well using revit for that.. now back to the point you are making.. designers may like using revit to create their model- but revit is primarily a virtual construction and documentation program.. i cannot use that beautiful revit model as an actual part of the construction and documentation of it.. i have to treat it just like i would see it in 3Ds Max or any other design program.. in other words- i have to build that model from scratch- referring to that model in a separate session of revit to actually build and document it.. BUT this is GREAT.. way nicer than referring to that same model in another design program.. so in my opinion- revit is king all the way through.. but what ABOUT using revit to build and document the model like you say? well THAT is a horse of a different color.. for that purpose revit is only the hammer and the nails- USELESS if you don't know how to build in the real world.. thanks dbillings3 for this great discussion..
