SHOULD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS REALLY SWITCH? AUTOCAD VS REVIT

The terrain models you've showed in Revit are really impressive. I didn't know how much details u can put on a Revit draw. I'm trying to learn this software but it's tricky. Thanks for the video!

Having worked with Revit in architecture for over 20 years, I am finally excited to be working with LAs to get them on board. Revit is finally catching up and the external tools that weren't available even 2 years ago are making it truly functional for landscape architecture!

I think you've hit the nail on the head with this video. Revit does present a lot of room to grow in the future and new opportunities. Also using it when it makes sense for the project.

Useful video attempting to compare AutoCAD vs Revit (CAD vs BIM) based on capabilities, functionality, workflow & room to grow ☺. There is no doubt that most landscape professionals using Revit do so mainly because of the need to collaborate in the same environment as other disciplines (architectural) &/or because a particular project specifically requires it. However, looking at the wider benefits of a move from AutoCAD to Revit provides a clearer direction...
> Accuracy (in the real world, 3D is always better than 2D)
> Efficiency (change a 'model' component and ALL views are modified automatically)
> New opportunities (ability to analyse model to answer bigger questions).

I’m a landscape architect who used AutoCAD for over 20 years before switching to BIM. Vectorworks is the answer for Landscape Architects, not Revit. Autodesk has ignored our profession for the entirety of my career, why would I use their AEC software for my LA projects when there is a better choice?

Ugh I'm a 2022' architect 😢graduate and I've hated revit all those 5 years during Uni, and still do to this day, It's such an "anti-design" and so an "engineer" software I hate it so much 😭 idk why but hand sketching, post production and other combos like you do in your channel (loveee morpholio) makes everything feel more human~thought~sensible~artsy💫 I've refused for so long to include Revit in my design process but lately seems like I've got no choice but to do so. :( I'm scared it may take away what I love about my career and turn it into punishment

I'm old enough (yikes!) to have been on the front line of the industry transitioning from manual drafting to CAD back in the 80's and early 90's. Unfortunately it took Landscape Architects almost a decade to catch up to their cousins in Engineering and Architecture. Professionally I think it set us back - reinforcing the stereotype of being earthy landscapers more than a technical craft.

In terms of BIM/Revit don't you think it will ultimately come down to the same thing it always does? Time and Money. Do clients have a NEED to spend 25% more on LA fees for us to build BIM models? Do they want another month or two added to the schedule? Outside of large public work projects I don't see it yet, but accept that could change.

Hi im looking into adding Samsung tablet into my work flow, but im having a difficult time finding apps that work well for landscape architecture under the android system, like morpholio trace for Ipad. Do you know of such apps like morpholio trace that works with Samsung tablet?

This is not autocad architecture vs Revit.
Doing a comparison with AutoCAD standard is not a good comparison.

Hi!
I got an interesting question, but have nobody to ask. Do landscape architects use some regulations and normative documents in planning and landscaping ( for example, sanitary ruptures, a certain distance between playground and car parking, norms of ground embankment) in other countries (I`m not from USA) and what is it (What kind of norms and its name), if it`s not a secret.
I`ll be glad, if you answer.

Revit needs to up their game. The issue is the limits of revit are bad for city size proyects.

[Ollicle]

Quite frankly its the cost of the software that is the prohibitive element here. We would happily take the leap into it but the cost of providing revit to the staff that would need it is just too high. Hence we have to keep bimbling along in 2d cad. Furthermore, how are you supposed to start learning it if you can't afford it!
