Our company is currently looking at getting into Revit...we use Autocad now. As the original poster seems to be implying - Does Revit not do cable tray??? What else does it not do?
I would take a good look through this thread and over at AUGI and see the loads of comments about user's experiences with Revit MEP and maybe if you are able play around w/ a demo version and create sample projects prior to making that decision if you indeed have that luxury of choosing. Our firm was more or less forced into it and find it usefull some areas and a hinderance in others. too big of a platform to start listing what it is or isn't able to do.
That's what I was afraid of. For the price, it ought to do everything and do it well. That should include bringing me coffee!
We're an MEP firm who is being strongly urged (by our biggest client) )to get up to speed on Revit. I can sort of see the benefit of designing ductwork with it, but electrical?
Jeez, for a little less in price, Autocad doesn't even do everything well.
When you find the perfect program that does everything well, PLEASE come back and let us know what it is.
I'll say this about Revit MEP, Autodesk is definitely commited to it's development. There are plenty of large firms using is now with workarounds they have figured out on their own. As was suggested, grab a demo, go through a tutorial or three and see for yourself.
THEN, find a reseller that will help you implement it, not just sell you a box with a subscription.
The Wishlist in this forum is the best list to see where Revit MEP2010 currently stands. A nice reality check.
For your client, do they work with Revit MEP? Most likely not. What's good for architecture, might not be good for MEP. It's never good to be pressured into software by outside companies, vendors to buy new software. I wish each compancould choose for its own what software to use. Of course, if one's fees are too high due to inefficient software use, it's not good either.
Of course we have a choice whether to buy Revit or not. We also have a choice on whether to continue working with them or not, also. We bought a couple copies of Revit MEP.
I would like to ask whether AutoCAD MEP or Autodesk Revit MEP can used for Water and Wastewater treatment plant design? Or you can use both for plumbing system only within the building but not for process piping like treatment plant?
To address the original question posed on this thread, Revit MEP 2011 seems to have a fairly complete array of conduit, cable tray, etc., electrical tools that earlier releases lacked. I observed these at a recent demonstration by our AutoDesk reseller. One item worthy of note and not too surprising, if one creates a model in 2011 it is not backward compatible to earlier revit versions.
