Autocad vs Revit which is Better

two of the best computer-aided design software are Autocad and Revit, they have been around for a long period of time, and they each have different tools and features that can help you work on your projects. today we are going to compare them and see what they have to offer.

in the year 1982 AutoCAD became a huge breakthrough when Autodesk released it. The program has been constantly upgraded, and its latest versions are distinguished by the capabilities of cloud storage and its compatibility with portable devices, and thanks to its existence for more than three decades; AutoCAD has become very important among technical drawing and design programs.

about 20 years ago, Revit emerged and gradually became a new phenomenon because it operates in a different way. it provides realistic simulations of real buildings that architects and designers need; Hence the term: “Building Information Modeling” or BIM. Revit Technology Corporation launched the first version of Revit in 2000 called "revise-it". Then Autodesk bought Revit Technology Corporation in 2002 after realizing the capabilities of the software.

As a structure engineer based in Dubai, I will advise, please go for Revit along with grasshopper or dynamo,
For structure analysis go for Staad connect along with Foundation, idea statica
For rendering twin motion
For documentation excel, word and mathcad

If you're an Architect or on the design side, Revit hands down. However if you're more MEP based, on the construction side, I think Autocad has a slight edge because of the easier transition to pre-fabrication. Even though Revit has stepped it up in this area as well. If you're background is Civil, it will always be ACAD for you. If you have a structural background, Tekla is the software for you, and it's not even close. There's a lot of people in our industry that think Revit is all you will ever need, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Learn both if you can, and even give Sketchup a try, you might be surprised.

Christ, I've been using Revit for almost a decade and I'm still learning it.

[garnetgun]

My current workflow is:
AutoCAD for 2D drawings
SketchUp for 3D modelling
D5 for renders
And Photoshop for post.
I am strongly thinking about learning Revit or Archicad so I don't have to use multiple softwares to make the same thing again and again😅😅😅
I can take care of the visualisation with any render engine and Photoshop...

[eastudio-K]

From an Architects point of view, NO CONTEST, I used to use autocad for years, I will never use it again. Just go straight to Revit and enjoy. Or other BIM software I guess, but I chose the autodesk suite.

Thank you for the post! I have had AutoCAD experience for almost 10 years now and my company has asked me if I wanted to learn Revit. (Truthfully, I am terrified). I have used AutoCAD 3D before but Revit looks SOO much more complex. I have never used the program, but I guess you have to learn one day! I didn't really know what Revit was so this video helped give a quick breakdown :)

I draft plumbing / mechanical piping .. I've been using AutoCad with the FabCad add on to draw our pipe in 3D..overall it's still 2D view working in AutoCad but the FabCad add on allows us to draw with real world dimensions, elevations, pipe sizing, equipment, materials like fittings, hangers, insulation, ect...create a database and store them into specific job folders, organized to the spec of the job... as we draw the pipe in CAD, we then append our file and the revit / architectural model provided by the engineer / general contractor, into Navis Works to coordinate real world and do BIM if needed.

Anyone else do this? lol I'm hearing a lot about them wanting us to start drawing our pipe in Revit and Idk how much of a difference that's going to be

[bttmlesspit]

I realise this video is a bit old but hoping you still can answer. Does Revit produce a gcode or the code needed to run a cnc with a 3D cut.

[shamanimali]

I'm learning architectural technology..what should I learn first as a a architectural technologist ? Revit or auto cad ? Please answer me ....

[mouniamtouguy]

Thank you for this video it’s so a formative

The voice on this sounds like Max Verstappen

[CJreyiz]

Sir, which one should I learn among Fusion, Revit, Autocad, 3ds Max, Maya, Sketchup?

[ataylor]

Sounds to me like they need to enable them to be able to work together and I don't know anything about either one except that both sound like they are really good. You can take a hard core Ford man or hard core Chevrolet man that says they hate the other brand truck but if you give either one of them the opposite brand to drive for a month, both will end up saying there's something good about the truck that they like that theirs doesn't have, so my point being, both companies build a good truck, where one lacks in something, the other makes up for it and visa versa, so if Chevy and Ford got together and suddenly were able to share and incorporate their ideas into each of their vehicles, just imagine the ultimate truck that would be built, so the same goes with Autocad and Revit, if their limitations were removed and they worked together in harmony, it might end up being the software that builds the ultimate truck, but I'm just a mechanic, what do I know?

I'm a civil engineering student, which one should I learn first?

[SpottedEagleOwls]

which one is the easiest to learn as beginner

This video came across my YouTube homepage.
If anyone is considering AutoCAD vs Revit in 2022, I would suggest, as someone who worked in AutoCAD for 10+ years and then Revit 4+, you should skip AutoCAD.
At the end of the day, AutoCAD is just digital drafting - unless you use AutoCAD for 3d (not so common).
For architecture, Revit is the way to go and I would never work for a company that had me work in AutoCAD again.
Autocad has its place, maybe in goverment/"secret" projects where cloud stuff isn't an option, or with legacy data, but 3d modeling/BIM is the way.

[jeffreyappezzato]

Despite many disciplines using Revit to "build", I run into a laundry list of issues during design development through construction. It doesn't matter how perfect your model is, there are too many weaknesses in the construction process, and much of it stems from the lack of experience, from architects, engineers, contractors, and the related labor forces.

Despite my 20-plus years of experience working as an Architect, I've been passed over for many positions because I have ZERO experience with Revit. Revit was not released until two years after I graduated and didn't become more mainstream until the mid-2000s, well after my full immersion into the workforce. The vast majority of offices were using AutoCAD up until 5-7 years ago. Are you really expecting to have a senior person sitting at a PC generating models for you?

[MrMasr]

thank you ; but you have to compare AutoCAD architecture with Revit, no autocad .

[kalistasjayawickrama]

Auto cad is 2d drafting . Best software.. but 3d drafting is boring .. so i used revit ..but revit cant get best render output and animation.. that is used lumion .. so i need a two software for modeling .. revit and lumion .. some peoples used sketchup for modeling .. that is very easy for modeling.. but that is not a bim.. so i tell have all are used in revit and lumion .. best ragards..

[netsheholdings-houseplans.]

All they fall under Autodesk..and they created them with different purpose..
