I guess I'm not completely following you. If you mean there are differing ways that Revit can present information, that is true just like AutoCAD. There are some ways that changing the traditional location/method of conveying the information to the contractor will make using Revit vastly more efficient, is extremely true. Either you need to add a very experienced Revit Architect to your staff + quality TRAINING, or you will need to accept some substantial changed in the appearance of your documents for a few projects until your staff learns the program better. That was true of the change from Hand drafting to original CAD more than 20 years ago (Unfortunately having worked through that period). It will be even more true with the actual change to a true BIM implementation. True BIM meaning using the information in the model for more automation in initial programing, creating specifications, in cost estimating, in alternates and in presentations, and in the actual fabrication of building components from the model. All of this will take another 5, 10, to 20 years in our industry to accomplish all phases, but you've got to start taking the first steps at some point.
(Sorry for preaching, I'm chairman of the local Revit User's Group) Using this forum, plus AUGI.com religiously, as well as initial outside training, as well as on-going internal training will help minimize the swimming. Also attending Autodesk University can be a huge help in make the waters fell shallower.
