Revit Reviews & Product Details

I like that building a 3D model enables you to generate relevant views from the model and that they are live updated when changes to the model occur. I appreciate that I can visualize any part of a project with the model, which helps clarify where critical drawings or views will support the client and contractors' understanding of the design intent. It's beneficial that drawings are all live updated when the model changes, helping to avoid missing updates that would have to be made manually if using a 2D CAD system. I like that the 3D model and documents are one in the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a better library of included hatch patterns and materials. I find that material rendering is something I have to spend much more time than I'd like to enable accurate rendering outputs. Certain materials are difficult to rotate, particularly if they are a part of a component, rather than 'painted' into the model. The material and hatch library just feel very limited, which requires trying to custom generate or find other materials to bring in which can get messy. Creating your own templates and knowing how to customize certain features to create useful outputs/data within a model can get very complicated if you're not quite savvy.

What stands out most about Revit isn’t just one feature—it’s how everything is connected. The biggest strength is that it’s fully parametric and model-based, which changes how you think about design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of tools aren’t where you expect them to be, and some workflows only make sense after you’ve been burned a few times. Things like families, work sets, and view control can confuse even experienced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Parametric Intelligence: Unlike Rhino, everything in Revit is interconnected. If you change a window’s height in a 3D view, it updates instantly in the floor plans, elevations, and schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The "Revit Way": It is extremely picky. If you don't follow its strict logic for families or hosting, you’ll spend hours fighting the software just to place a simple element. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best software, I explored. Which can do Modeling, Overview, Coordination, Documentation & Extracting Quantities. I use dthis software from past 13+ years. Major queries can be adressed by the support & Editorial teams. Very easy to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often small things and Details are pretty easy in Auto CAD. Later they can be imported to Revit as Details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Revit for engineering and designing, especially in sketch form. I appreciate its 3D feature, which has three-dimensional compatibility that helps in identifying if my work is clashing with architectural properties or other services like plumbing pipes and electrical wires. Revit helps me visualize how the work can move and aids in the coordination process, converting to PDF format for our company's engineering work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Revit takes too much power from the CPU, especially when the Internet speed is low. Handling large models around 200, 500 MB, or one GB can take too much time compared to smaller ones under 100 MB. The initial setup can sometimes be challenging due to internet space and the size of Revit, but it's not too difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Revit is how everything is connected in one model. When I make a change in one place, it automatically updates everywhere, which saves time and reduces mistakes. It also makes it easy to create accurate drawings, 3D views, and schedules all from the same project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Revit is that it can be slow and heavy, especially on larger projects. It also takes time to learn because of its complex tools and workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most common dislikes among ACC Retail employees include limited career advancement opportunities and a demanding workload with long working hours Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The 3D modeling makes it easy to visualize my project in three dimensions, and I appreciate all the possibilities the program offers. Can't wait to test the new 2027 update for the updated UI and AI integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A pricing group option for businesses could be a real plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Revit for over 17 years now and use it on my daily basis for all the architectural work we do. I like the potency of the tool and how easy and intuitive it becomes after you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity in some of the tasks that should be easy to do or that for instance you can do in other Autodesk software that do not translate into Revit as smooth. Managing large and complex projects is also a challenge that requires careful planning and managing throughout the projects' lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Revit is the most complete BIM modeling software available nowadays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get slow with some larger models, and because of that, the overall experience can feel limited at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
