They're both good software. I used Revit professionally for about 5 years and then I switched jobs and used AutoCAD professionally for about 5 years. Both are good depending on what you need. If you want a simple design then AutoCAD is better if you have a big elaborate design Revit is better. AutoCAD is easier to use since at the end of the day it is just lines but if you want to export data, generate takeoffs, and coordinate complex designs Revit is better. AutoCAD is quicker for simple designs although at the end of the day Revit is likely quicker on complex designs.

I use AutoCAD for 2D drafting. Fantastic for floor plans and creating simple objects. Revit is really the next step up. LOVE Revit as you have all the floor plans, views and 3D views all in one property panel. 2 amazing software from Autodesk.

Revit is the best! once you start you will never want to go back...
I use both at work

[wvanelderen]

For all size new projects I use Revit. For modifying existing buildings with existing dwg's I use Autocad if the drawings are accurate enough, else I start over with Revit. That said, if I need information for Facility Management I like making a basic Revit model of the building.

AutoCAD is a knife
REVIT a Swiss army knife, not a silly potato peeler

Being REVIT absolutely amazing, I much prefer Autocad for designing the terracing and retention walls in large projects, that is kind of engineerig more than architecture. AutoCad (in 3d) provides and efficient and extremely fast way to analize and change the tilt of any given surface. Plus, Autocad works hand in hand with CIVIL so our 3d modeling can be solved and also calculated in terms of volumes of soil movement.
Dont get me wrong: I´m a revit fan and also a cook. A good knife works for almost anything. When it comes for architecture design though, REVIT is much easier and more fun to play with.

I'm just getting into studying all this so, thanks for the information.!

Today is my day one learning Revit! Thank you for your videos

[rmdrafting]

i have used Autocad for 15 years and I started Revit a few years ago, and I hate Autocad now.

Great video. I am mostly familiar with Revit, I can use it fluently. I know bits of Autocad like modelling gears and stuff, I am looking into using it architecturally. It sounds to me that for architecture specifically, AutoCAD to Revit is like Microsoft Paint is to AutoCAD. Doing everything manually in AutoCAD sounds like a chore, but I guess it can help you to remember and understand your own drawings better, build a better relationship with your own projects.

I’ve grown up with autocad since highschool, it’s easy to understand and very command ordinated (which I prefer, Instead of having to find everything in the menu bar). Although I like the 3D aspect of revit, my computer simply cannot support such a high end program and it takes a long time to understand all the functions.

[FelipeSantos-swkk]

As a professional Autocad user you're absolutelly correct. Autocad is a hell of a tool and delivers mayhen in terms of project, but isn't as fast and specific as Revit. In 2014 I started working with Autocad, in 2018 I begun using Revit seldon, but thia year I full moved to revit. You know why? Sanitary and electrical instalations made easy. In a tenth of the time you make both projects. Peace up, you're the best.

[pardeapsambi]

You make it very clear the difference between AutoCAD and Revit. I think Revit is more useful for architectural work. Whereas AutoCAD is useful for any field of design.

[andreluizreichertrazorcomp]

Actually many people dont know you can automate sheets and data in AutoCAD using fields in tables and relating them to an object dimentions or other data.

Lol saw 5 solidworks ads on this video, well played Dassault... well played

[shogunfox]

Maybe I'm slow and don't use much Revit but Revit do not give me the desire flexibility of pipe designing in short timeframe, especially for underground plumbing's sloped pipes. I need to have it ready before the field guys begin digging and installing. I get constant error messages when trying to put in the simple fitting and sometimes it screwed up the slope consistency throughout the whole system. And then you also have the Owner who make changes like relocating the restroom fixtures/etc, I can easily modify the necessary changes and resend to our field guys shortly thereafter thru CAD. In metaphor, I can ask Autocad/MEP Fabrication to fetch me a hot coffee, no problem, but with Revit, it's "how hot you want it?, caf or decaf?, Sugar?, Cream?, okay, oh wait, the pot is empty!"

Thank you so much for this useful video. Can you do one time a video about Revit vs. AutoCad Architecture? Thank you so much.

[dandandan]

I think everyone should try AutoCAD Architecture, too. It has tools for drawing walls and all sorts of components much more efficiently. Unlike in the vanilla version of AutoCAD where you manually draw the lines for the walls, AutoCAD Architecture allows you to input dimensions and even color code them by material, and adjust the dimensions easily. It's just much more intuitive!

[meena]

I hated revit when I first started, it was so difficult to navigate and troubleshoot but now that I have a decent amount of experience I think it's pretty nice :)

Experts using Auto Cad... it's like saying you are an Expert Archer in an army full of Rifles.
