![]() ![]() ![]() I was just asking my questions to figure out why you had an interest in Revit and I really don't know anything about CA. You might have understood me wrong there, not saying Revit is better then CA for the stuff you are doing. I am still interested to learn more about REVIT and other BIM applications sir. I just want you to know that, if you simply see how I and some others use chiefarchitect to do every thing we want, you could just think that it is the best software in the industry!! Yet I can assure you, there are some areas that chief lacks and has not done all it coulld to automate what computers could do the best for us. Believe me that my friend architect had added chief architect premier version in his toolbox for residential builds. He couldn't convince me if revit was the most efficient in terms of the time and effort it takes to accomplish the task, no matter how vast and capable revit's solid modeling tools are. What surprised me recently was that, an architect friend of mine had just the same preconception as your's and had a mix of ideas between the capabilities of the premier version of chief architect with the DIY Products which had a very limited capability. Is that solved in later versions? Though I am in agreement that, Revit is the best BIM application when it comes to what we can do with it, yet I simply doubt that it is the most efficent tool for every project level/type!! I could be wrong but all other floor tools in revit would just come in handy next to this default logic for defining floors. Several years back, to me the said wall/floor logic was the reason behind not becoming a fan of revit. Even in the old days, using pencil we automatically define floor boundaries based on the walls we draw, even after arasing the straight wall and replace it with curved ones using pencil, we never needed to draw floors separately except the use annotations plus adding lines and closed polygons when ever found necessary. I am not going to critisize revit simply because of not creating floors/ceilings automatically after you define rooms by drawing walls! Not to mention that there are exception and should get handled separately, Be it an open bellow/no room definitions/ holes and exetra. Yet some architects were and still are so relluctant to take advantage of that obvious benifits brought with man invented computers to increase our productivity. Having said that, several years back when AutoCAD proved to be much more efficient than the rapidograph and wowed us in creating automated lines that can get trimmed/extended in just a click, not to mention the eraser plus the undo capability. It doesn't mean to ignore the quality of the tool, but to say the least, our skills in using any kind of tool is more important than how efficient the toos is designed to help us accomplish what we want to do. Oh and remember that Revit alone is not that good with making those pretty pictures with all sorts of custom interior decoration I see on the Chief Architect website.Basically a pencil had never done the job, it is simply the tool to do what we can do and probably you have seen some one else using that tip of pencil to produce what you and I could have ever tried. Just questions I have about the program and some that might help you with your question. ![]() Dunno, does Chief Architect do BIM, do you want to do BIM, are you asked to do BIM?Ĭan you make anything you want/like with Chief Architect or can you just use the 3D stuff they provide? ![]()
