First I apologize if this is in the wrong section and if this type of thread has already been asked. Please move it accordingly.
I am currently working for an architectural firm that will be transitioning to Revit over the next few years. I have been their Cad system manager over the past 12+ years. I am trying to take the lead on getting myself up to speed and knowledgeable with Revit during this time. This includes training, using the software on and off the clock, and self training so I can teach and train the office when the time comes.
Since I am at the beginning of the process and remember what it was like sitting down in front on AutoCAD for the first time many years ago and thinking I can draw lines, circles and erase, how will I ever be able to draw buildings with this.
I wonder will my experience be similar on the software side? I know what the final product is supposed to look like so I do not have cross that hurdle.
Is knowledge of AutoCAD and Architecture (formerly ADT) a plus, minus, or neither when it comes to working with Revit?
And are there some common transition pains that I may experience?
Thanks for any advice and help.
