Ok, let's see if we can get a good conversation going that might help me as I take the first steps down this path. We are looking at implementing Revit soon.
* What have you guys learned that I might avoid?
* What is the best way to break up projects? Why do you prefer that method?
* How did you handle your current stuff, like title blocks, door & window tags and so on? Recreate from scratch or use existing cad file geometry?
* How are you handling details? Importing cad geometry or drafting view on top of Revit file data?
* How do you work with your consultants? How are you splitting the project up and so on?
* What are you doing with consultants who are still using flat cad?
* Any of you guys using Revit in a "concept design" type deal? What can you get out of it in the context of a sketchy, loose, sort of "Sketchup" type drawing? Or should we just use Sketchup for that? How do you tackle it?
Thanks gang. I know it's a lot. I've done a ton of research and continue to do more but I'd like to get some input from those doing it, not those selling it. It gives me a better "feel" for the industry in general. :cool:
