![]() ![]() On the budget front, in my part of the world, VW is not that much cheaper than Revit. There are many other satisfied and content VW users out there who don't express their satisfaction on these forums. ![]() One of the regular posters on this forum made the comment that this forum is where VW users usually express their frustrations and discontent. I would be interested to know the future roadmap for each of these products. In my mind it appears that the last two potentially are products which overlap. Nemetschek is the parent company that owns Graphisoft (Archicad), AllPlan and Vectorworks. Oh, and another question (Nemetschek are you listening?), To me these are fundamental aspects of the program that must be made right. Its the stability and compatibility issues to which I refer, especially when users upgrade from an older version of VW to 2011 with existing files. I agree, for the money VW is a great product. I could not imagine doing this in Revit, unless I print out a large sheet and cut it into a letter size detail, because Revit can't have multiple sheet sizes in a project. From my little experience, I found many of Revit's non-ignorable error messages had stopped my work cold (so I imagine that can really impact a work deadline).Īt the same time, I completed 8 construction projects this year in Vectorworks, some of which needed architectural detail addenda on letter size paper (on very short notice). I use all of these Vw Architect functions, while at the same time, I would probably not get much use of the new point cloud reference in Revit 2012.Īlthough I had learned to use Revit in a volunteer project, I never had the experience of using it for a construction project. lack of copy paste between project files, inability to save to a previous version, lack of site modeling tools, lack of import for dwg, 3ds and skp files. How about the point of view of improving Revit? - not that Autodesk would be interested, since it's selling well, so why bother? The new 2012 Revit lacks some long-demanded fixes. Furthermore, in my opinion its especially time for an interface overhaul. With Revit prices coming down (locally anyway) Nemetschek needs to address these issues otherwise its game over. In VW I believe the workflow is to explode the model to lines and make any changes from there?Īs a new VW user I am a little concerned with the growing amount of disgruntled members on the forum who are dissatisfied with some very fundamental aspects of VW i.e. Using Revit's lineweight tool it is possible to easily apply changes to a model lineweight, or change it's pattern, without applying any global changes to a class etc. For example, say I want to tinker with a model's elevation line weights - to build a lineweight hierarchy. I personally have found the graphical overides possible in Revit to be intuitive. ![]() Comments from a new VW user (and still a lot to learn).Īs an ex Revit user I'd be interested in your impressions of Revit over VW (from the point of view of improving VW or course ) ![]()
