To Whom It May Concern,
I have been looking at robot for some time as a potential replacement for the current structural modeling program we have. The interoperability between robot and revit/advance steel is much better than our current arrangement. The kickback that I get is that quote "It is not popular in the US". I'm wondering where and who uses Robot? How does it stack up against its competitors? Is that statement a true statement?
Thanks for any help.

As you can see in this forum, all users are worried about the future of RSA, because it is not clear what Autodesk wants to do with RSA...

In this forum, we all love RSA , so it is a hard question to reply. I think it is used worlwide (i'm an European user) but i would say (without any data to support it, just my feeling) that US is not a market with a lot of users. Maybe i'm wrong and some other users can say the opposite (with true knowledge). If i were you (I think you posted this topic to get our true feelings), at this point, I would search for better alternatives, such as Sofistik (extensions to interact with revit) or SAP. It's hard to invest years of our working life in a software and not know if it will continue to be developed (in the proper way...) ...

Correct . This is now our sad and uncertain reality

Have you looked into RISA? Apparently they have Revit interoperability. I'm just not sure how efficient it is. I have been using RSA for a while but it seems to be lacking many thing that RISA apparently covers. It (RISA) also is a convenient software for many North American users.
