Revit Reviews & Product Details

I find Revit extremely valuable for my work, particularly in mechanical and electrical designing tasks. I enjoy using Revit because of its three-dimensional designing capability, which is incredibly useful for visualizing designs in real life. This feature provides a significant advantage over using traditional 2D designs in AutoCAD, making it much better for imagining how projects will look in the future. I appreciate the availability of plugins, such as ELUM tools for lighting design and built-in tools for mechanical design like duct sizing, which simplify tasks and ensure automatic calculations, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in my projects. Learning to use Revit was a smooth and quick process for me, thanks to resources available on YouTube and LinkedIn Learning, which helped me overcome initial challenges such as linking files and models. The ability to adapt quickly after understanding the workflow and features speaks to Revit's intuitive design, which I greatly appreciate. These aspects of Revit are so beneficial that they ensure I would definitely purchase it again in the future. I am also very likely to recommend Revit to others, rating it a perfect 10 out of 10.

What I like most about Revit is that it uses BIM, which helps create smart 3D models that update automatically in all drawings and schedules. This makes it easier to coordinate between architecture, structure, and MEP, and helps reduce mistakes and changing somthing something in one place, it updates everywhere very useful saves a lot time.

Working with others on the same model can be frustrating because of file or permission issues. Revit also feels a bit limited for creative design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Revit is the heart of my workflow as a BIM Manager. I love how it centralizes documentation, modeling, and coordination in one environment. Its parametric capabilities, view templates, and worksharing functions make it ideal for large-scale projects like healthcare and education. I also appreciate its growing compatibility with automation tools like Dynamo and Python scripts — it empowers me to streamline tasks and increase quality control. Revit evolves with the industry, and that keeps me passionate about improving how we build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I love Revit, it can feel rigid when trying to customize workflows outside of its default structure. Some features — like managing line weights or graphics — still require too many manual steps or lack visual clarity. Performance can also become an issue with large files or many links. And despite the advances, it still lacks native tools for certain coordination or automation needs, making plugins or scripting essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I value most about Revit is its BIM environment, which centralizes all the project information in a single file. I can generate floor plans, sections, elevations, and 3D views automatically and accurately. Additionally, the customizable families allow me to adapt each element to what I need, and its integration with other Autodesk programs makes it even more powerful.

I think Revit could improve in performance. With large files, the software becomes slow and that can affect productivity. I also consider that for someone who is just starting, the learning curve can be a bit complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Revit frequently.

The best part is, we can integrate it with lots of add-ins and other supporting software like Dynamo, Enscape, etc.

It is ease to produce accurate plans, sections and elevations.

Also, ease to insert the links of CAD files, IFC and other files.

The best part is we can work together in a single file with our colleagues using worksharing.

We can create automation using dynamo and API for repetitive works.

Ease to implement BIM when compared to other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I face force close of Revit software due to large file size.

Sometimes , It take more time to open the model.

We have some limitation to create conceptual designs.

Some people need some time to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

REVIT saves time compared to AutoCAD. Annotation is quick and easy. Reduces overall time dedicated to each project. The ability to collaborate and have multiple designers working on a single project also saves time and gets the project completed on time or even early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many ways to accomplish the same goal or task within REVIT, and this can be confusing. Also, REVIT has so many capabilities that it is sometimes hard to remember where to go to complete the command or task. Lastly, I really wish that tag leaders could/would snap to the ends of a dimension extension line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Revit is the way it centralizes the entire design and documentation process into one coordinated model. The ability to link drawings, schedules, and 3D views in real time saves an incredible amount of time and reduces errors. I also appreciate how flexible it is when collaborating across disciplines—structural, MEP, and architectural models can all be integrated seamlessly. Overall, it makes complex projects much more efficient and accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Revit is that it can be very resource-intensive and sometimes runs slowly on larger, more complex models. The learning curve is also quite steep for new users, and some workflows still feel less intuitive than they could be. Additionally, while the software is powerful, certain updates and improvements often come slower than expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to create building models once you get to know it. I like the real time integration between floor plans, elevations and sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The autodesk construction cloud is not very user friendly. Lots of options and different ways to get the same results. It is a bit confusing, and it needs upgrading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work in the MEP industry, and I think one of its best advantages is that I can be sure I am placing the pipes, equipment and devices in a accurate scale. And also I can coordinate the vertical routes in common areas since the beginning, and most importantly define the mounting height or necessary space of every system.

I think one of its most well known disadvantages is its poor compatibility with different Revit versions. It gets difficult to manage different IFC files in multidisciplinary teams and workflows between companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Revit is a truly amazing program for modeling construction projects. For users, it is very easy to use, and the integration is done really well by transferring the old CAD standards of companies to the new BIM technologies. The learning curve of the program is highly progressive due to the need to use it every day, which facilitates its implementation in companies that are starting to use it. The number of options available in this tool is very good, allowing us to model most of the disciplines involved in building construction without any problems.

What I like least about the program is that the appearance of mechanical elements such as ventilation ducts and plumbing channels cannot be modeled according to manufacturing standards regarding the length of the elements that are part of a mechanical network.
