Revit ARCH vs. Revit MEP

Are there fundamental differences in software code between Revit Architectural and Revit MEP? When I try to communicate certain problems, errors and glitches to architects, they don't seem to know what I'm talking about. They seem to be immune to the issues that are occuring on the MEP central file. What are the differences between the two versions? I would appreciate a reply from anyone at Autodesk. Thanks!

The platforms are the same codebase. RME has a lot of things that Arch
does not. Where I see you and others struggling with worksharing in RME
is directly tied to the deep interconnectedness of all three of these
disciplines, just like in the real world. There is not a similar issue
with worksets that I am aware of in the other platforms. It is getting
attention from the development team, absolutely.

Also, for those that are on subscription, there is another level of
support that you have at your disposal. Create a support request with
the help of your reseller and or your subscription program manager. The
more well-articulated you can describe your issues, the better chance
there might be a more immediate response and solution. For those issues
that are not yet solvable, these support requests can be elevated to
feature requests and put into the design pipeline.

In our experience, at least with the latest build, the communication
problems haven't been due to differences in the software - they've been due
to the differences between architects and engineers. That's not a dig on
architects, its just a fact that the two think differently and have
different design goals. Thus the work process is different and they have a
hard time understanding the issues we try to explain. While we have not
conquered everything, we found that pushing for an early Revit meeting where
we discussed and agreed on "all things Revit" was a huge step towards a
successful project. From how the central files from all trades would be
linked, who was going to post what where and in what order, how and who
would be monitoring or copy/monitoring what objects and what impact that
would have on the other trades, issues we ran into on other projects etc. -
if it didn't solve anything it at least let the architect know what we are
up against, that we are trying, and that with Revit we are all in it
together...

Well said.
Communication is the key, regardless of tools used!
