So Revit isn't new, but then again it isn't old like AutoCAD is old. So I'm sure Autodesk wouldn't might jettisoning some archaic methods of working if only it did not have to keep legacy users sweet. Therefore we have Architecture behaving like AutoCAD with its drafting background and Revit behaving like a Building Information Modeling System and Graphical Database. One of these approaches will likely be the future and one will likely not.
No prizes for guessing which.
As I said earlier I'm disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm for CADD (and one of the the Ds stands for Design) systems by many of the Architects I've worked with. Often it is claimed that the computer takes away the creativity when I'd argue that it takes away the drudgery.
Nobody really wants to do the elevation, and with Revit nobody really has to. It's like magic.
So Technicians need to throw away their drafting software, and even moreso Architects need to throw away their 2B pencils.
