View Full Version : 2014 Revit LT 2014 for Sloped Floors?

Our firm uses Revit (full version), but are reviewing Revit LT 2014 as an option.

1) For our work we require the tools to accurately model complex sloped (or warped) concrete floors (both variable and constant thickness types); however, it appears that the "Modify Sub Elements" option for sloping floors is not supported in Revit LT 2014? Is this correct?

2) LT does provide the option to create sloped floors by using the “Slope Arrow” tool, but that can have its limitations when the sloping floors include “irregular” boundaries, skewed ridge and/or valley lines and/or offset drain locations. Other than using the "Slope Arrow" tool is there another option available in LT to create complex sloped floors?

3) Is it correct that “Add-In’s” are not supported in the LT version?

Also, there are no concerns about work sets or other collaboration options as most work is performed standalone.

BTW…it appears that most questions regarding the LT versions are in this category; so I hope this post is on topic.

Thank you for any input provided on the above items; or LT’s other potential modeling limitations when compared to Revit.

Here's the official comparison: http://www.autodesk.com/products/revit-lt/compare/compare-revit-products

Biggest drawback in my opinion is the Shared Coordinates and Link Management. Just limits you to work with... well yourself lol

Thanks dhurtubise. We're a subcontractor and most (if not all) of our modelling is standalone; so the work sharing is not a major issue. But do agree with you on not having the Shared Coordinates as it may create some added problems when exporting/importing the model data into survey software.

Thanks again for the input...really starting to look like LT won't work to well for us.
