 Thus, to reveal a change, every view should be edited separately and individually.
Due to this reason, AutoCAD is efficient for drafting a 2D and specific work line, although it is
not a modeling tool for a building. AutoCAD equally can create a 3D models and reduce them,
but of importance to keep in mind is that the 3D models are geometric models which has got no
component information (Gerhard & Harper, 2015).
Revit Overview
A much more powerful software package is known as Revit. It is able of crafting a 3D project
model, which consists the physical properties and building component interactions. For example,
having several views of a mechanical system and introducing a change in any of them, the
change may be revealed on the real model and the rest of the views are consequently uploaded.
The key strength of Revit, therefore, is letting documents of a project to be finalized much faster,
as elaborated in the above exampl (Gerhard & Harper, 2015)e.
Also, Revit eradicates the complications involved in managing upgrades, because all teams for
designing are simultaneously working on the same model of building. For example, in case of
change on the plumbing layout triggering overlap with HVAC fittings, Revit can detect this
immediately and create an error message. Handling changes in Revit is simpler, because one
modification is reflected immediately on all views existing; in AutoCAD, changes always force
all teams to manually update their work (Lance, Eddy, & Kim, 2017).
Revit is a very powerful tool as well, when it comes to material list calculation or project bid
preparation. Because it holds all the key information about technical stipulations and valuing, it
can automatically generate cost schedules.
