Revit vs. ACA?

[Maverick91]

I've finally gotten management to the point that they're willing to entertain the idea of a more powerful building modeling software. I can start getting away from 2D line & circle drawings.

But which one should we go with? I was all but sold on Revit, up until last week. I went to the Autodesk Experience even here in Dallas and saw what ACA can do. Now I'm confused.

Are there resources or articles out there that have information on which program might better suit our needs?

TIA

Revit's better, use it :).

In all seriousness, though, ACA has some good things, but the core technology just isn't there for BIM work. ACA isn't even marketed as BIM by Autodesk anymore, it's "AutoCAD for Architects". If you are looking for BIM, Revit blows away ACA, that's why we're on it.

Just my $.02

Your firm will make more money with Revit.
