    What a bloody boring article!

    Yes folks, how many improvements can you make to a Morris Minor to make it like a BMW (you British Empire people know what I'm talking about ). I personally think the comparisons between ADT and Revit are becoming a bit tedious, Revit people have Revit cos they are smart, and invariably are real architects Passionate ADT'ers are stuck in a cage that offers no escape...........bogged down with Xref's and work-arounds, caught in the mouse-wheel of production.......looking for design utopia, but not knowing where to look.....searching the sky for an answer but only seeing grey clouds..........................

    So, they fixed something in ADT, cool!

    And a very merry Christmas to you all............(what am I doing here, its Christmas day .........pass me another chardonnay )

    Cheers M

    I agree. The article is pretty blah. Who's the intended audience? If it's ADT users, you didn't respond to any of their concerns and if the intended audience is Revit users, there wasn't any specifically helpful information in there. If the intended audience was someone else, who could it be. The article seems quite worthless - for just about anyone - especially in a publication.

    At the moment though Autodesk is upgrading everything with a vengeance - except Revit, it seems.
    Does the author of this article live under a rock? Supposedly this was written Nov/Dec 2003.....and he doesn't know that Revit 6.0 just came out?

    Revit's sluggish development?
    Huh?

    --Anyway, I tend to take with a grain of salt anything I read in which the author (and his editors) doesn't know the difference between it's and its. (Or ops: is that just an Americanization of the English language?)

    i dont like when people spit on ADT.
    No need to make ADT look stupid so Revit will look better - Revit IS good.

    I have just one question to MartyC : How well do you really know ADT?
    reading your sentence : "they fixed something in ADT,cool" gives me a feeling that you havent even seen it.
    i dont believe that it is necassary to build antagonistic clans here.

    Revit is fantastic technology, unique in many things, superior to the existing products on the market and will grow even stronger, no doubt in that, but ADT exists and responds to the needs of many users today that are happy to have it.

    the article in question, its true, hasn't got much sense the way it is structured.

    my humble opinion,sorry if this is too serious for you guys,but i just dont see the point of comments of the kind

    I Spit on ADT

    No I dont, sheesh man, that post was tongue-in-cheek. We can afford to be T-I-C here because so many people write such dumb articles about Revit in relation to other packages that dont have a bloody clue.

    I am waiting for the article that states 'ADT has a new feature that goes some small way toward the spectacular functionality of Revit, and this will help the user be far less stressed, and far happier'

    Yeah, I have used ADT, and yeah I have used ACad (for years...yuk!).

    Look we can all do spectacular architecture on any package, Revit people are just happier and more inspired as is clearly evidenced by the posts on this forum. I know I am.

    'antagonistic clan', no mate I'm just saying... 'hey, come on, get happy'

    Cheers M

    I have been using Autocad since R12, and currently use ADT 2005. I have been interested in Revit since the day it was purchased by Autodesk and have even started using it a few times. I find Revit very cute and excellent to wow the crowds that are only interested in quick 3D pictures. When it comes to drawing custom details to actually make this pretty building a reality, Revit comes up short. I have attended a few online Revit seminars and the question usually comes up if Revit was used to do all the detail development in the working drawings. The presenter normally states that "Revit was used along with Autocad to work out all the details." If Revit is so wonderful, why does Autocad always have to be used to do the real work?

    To me it seems that the Revit people are living in a dream world, and spend most of their time trying to prove that they are the smarter people because they no longer use ADT. (I am not saying this is fact, it is just the way it appears to me.)

    I think ADT is extremely clumsy and not user friendly at all, and I would love to switch to the clean, user friendly concept that Revit offers, but until Revit drastically improves on its basic drafting tools to develop custom details that can't be generated automatically, I am not interested.

    Revit actually has very strong drafting & detailing abilities. Unfortunately the tutorials and training give this short shrift so people don't realize it until they get more hands-on experience with the program. However, if you choose to miss the boat, that is your prerogative. As you you strain your back rowing the skiff ADT along in choppy seas we will kindly wave as the Revit sloop knifes cleanly and effortlessly through the waters. To each his own.
