Hello All,
I am the cad manager for a structural engineering company that is big on Timber & Light Gage construction. We are currently using AutoCAD 2006.
A little over a year ago, we added a concrete division and since then, I have been looking into the Revit series as something we will need use into in the future. Recently I received a demo copy of the latest Revit Structure from our Autodesk reseller. While navigating through the software and running the examples, I realize that the software is very limited on Timber/Light Gage Steel. Although I am loving the software and I can see it being used on our concrete division, I know I would not be able to justify a move/migration to the Revit “platform”, if I can’t apply it to our strongest area (Timber), at least for the Multi Family division where we have a lot of jobs that combine Timber super structure over concrete podium.
I will appreciate if any of you currently using the software can give me some ideas and provide some advice on Revit.
Thank you all in advance for any replies to this post.
Jaime
