Okay, i have been using Revit for a while, (no where as long as some of the contributers here have of course.). I am fairly confident in saying that at the moment the productivity levels on the Revit projects is well surpassing the traditional CAD projects by a mile.
I was feeling pretty confident in what i thought i could acheive with this software, our template is coming along smoothly, our family libraries are getting better and better and generally the "smoothness" of runing our projects was increasing as we learned more and could pass it on to the staff. And the staff in general getting better at working with this.
However, after feeling fairly confident and much of a "know it all" in thinking we were coming fairly close to a ceiling with the capabilities of this software, i recently had the opportunity to see one of the "Augi Big Daugs" at work ( no names). Whilst i thought i had immersed myself completely and understood what all the tools could do, i found myself feeling very much again like a novice. Whilst i knew what the features could do, i was amazed at seeing the potential in features i had been using but not to their full capabilities, not too mention features i didn;t even know existed.. I realised again that as far as ceilings go with this software i really can't see it at all.
Anyway, suppose my question is simple. is there a point with Revit where you can become familiar enough with it to no longer be surprised with what it can do? After a year i would have thought the surprises would have stopped.
