Greg,
I think the problem about reports of what software is being used, comes from
the fact that in the beginning, Revit wasn't used at all. A small part of
the SOM team started to experiment with Revit on the Freedom Tower with the
below grade levels, while other parts of of the model went ahead in AutoCAD,
ADT, and others. As the team saw the advantages of Revit in the lower
levels, they decided to tackle another piece of the tower, and then
another...then the engineers wanted to get in on the fun, and started to
model their systems in Revit. So early on, the MEP may have been done in
Bentley's MEP package, but the latest I heard is that it has all converted
to Revit: Arch, MEP, and Structures.
James would be the best person to answer this more 'officially'!
