I have just started to compile a list of problems we are having and have 9 pages in word so far. I am going to have a few people review it and let us know if some of the things are just items that we don't know how to do, if so, then we can get them off the list, but a lot of them I already know will stay. By the way, this has taken me less than two hours to compile this list, I am still working on it though.
I really do want to find things that we just don't know on there, as I think the concept of BIM is a good one, but at this point I have to say that it's implementation in Revit MEP is poor, possibly even fraudulent, but I need to determine how much of my list is legitimate problems and how much of it is us just not knowing everything about the program yet.
As for being misled, I was told that we should be able to EASILY make a complete set of working drawings using Revit MEP.
I would say that was misleading, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to make site plans, symbols legends, plumbing riser diagrams, electrical single line diagrams, notes for cover sheets. All of these items are required for a set of construction drawings as they are required for plan check in most cases. I know I have used these examples a lot, but that's because it never gets fixed.
