Not every feature will be as beneficial to everyone, considering the differences in firm size, etc. Im just pleading for fixes to some fundamental issues and polishing the product over new features. Im not a programmer, so Im sure it's not as easy as I would like to believe.Jeremy Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943157494257552782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286163703331229719.post-45569391488923476522011-03-24T14:34:20.133+00:002011-03-24T14:34:20.133+00:00Revit MEP 2012 New Features

Whilst I agree and this was in my blog article; that there are big ticket items that really need to be fixed, its still a good release for everybody. You are wrong....its not a "large consultancy" release, although a lot of work has taken place on worksets. But even worksets can be used by small firms, if you are not, you are really missing a trick. In many case we have small teams of no more than 1 to 3 people working on the project. Worksharing is enabled by default. One for the LRUG me thinks as i have some great case studies which I can showcase. Alan it comes down to one simple thing...if you have not implemented any of the features which have been improved....then yeh you are gonna suggest that you can't benefit from the improvments. If you have used them and disguarded them from your workflow, because they don't meet your needs, then that is a totally different ballgame.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609028351574557112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286163703331229719.post-46588302227127315082011-03-23T03:12:05.473+00:002011-03-23T03:12:05.473+00:00Right on folks.

Revit is really positioned to become the new standard for design. Im already all in with revit, but I have a hard time convincing people who are just getting started when some of the basic functionality is not there. I find myself constantly feeling like I have to "defend" and "justify" the transition to revit to my clients and my coworkers. <br /><br />Not to mentioned, most of this stuff is eyecandy and fluff. Many of the add-ins are half baked and cause more headache than they minor "coolness" or information they provide. Not only does the core functionality and basic features need to be upgraded and fixed, they need to perfect and improve the features such as wood wall framing and importing and exporting (which it looks like there might be some of that in this release)<br /><br />Sorry, rant over. I guess it is pretty obvious where I stand on it.Jeremy Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943157494257552782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286163703331229719.post-84157820003785170552011-03-22T23:38:26.584+00:002011-03-22T23:38:26.584+00:00A couple of ideas from me, Development is slowing ...A couple of ideas from me, Development is slowing down, particularly for Structure. MEP is where structure was back in 2008 they are just feeling out a package which will bring on more consultants<br /><br />But with that said I am very excited about 3D tagging, assembelies, the changes to hosted voids. I know, not ground breaking features, and all are platform general not structural specific, but they will definatly help my workflows<br /><br />Structure is certainly next in line for some really great advancements. But 2012 will get me upgrading either way...Ben Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320697929817688619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286163703331229719.post-38516197826693654072011-03-22T09:08:49.020+00:002011-03-22T09:08:49.020+00:00Hi Rob
That's my point the whole development ...Hi Rob<br /><br />That's my point the whole development this year is focused on "large consultancys", what about the medium small and very small consultancys? Let's hope next year is "FIX THE BASICS" We are a small/medium consultancy who are working with Architects also using Revit, These developments are more for the Arups, Atkins and HOK's of the world.cadalothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677438790709042867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286163703331229719.post-6991350685089350942011-03-22T08:21:23.254+00:002011-03-22T08:21:23.254+00:00Hi Alan
Hope your well.
Just wanted to comment. ...Hi Alan<br /><br />Hope your well.<br /><br />Just wanted to comment. I agree with some of what you are saying, like yourself and David Light, I would like to see some improvements to the basics in Revit - espeically things like text placement, general geometry placement etc. <br /><br />That said, other than that, I'm impressed with the improvements in Revit Structure - the detaching of the anyalatical model alone should signifcantly assist in workflow. While its a general Revit improvement, the big improvements to worksharing are also of real benfiet to a lot of people, particarly large consultancys.<br /><br />I'm not sure I'm convienced by the idea of Revit been an RC detailing product - but we'll see what time brings. I've been saying for a couple of years now that I don't think it is the suitable platform for detailing workflow, whereas AutoCAD based products like AutoCAD Structural Detailing, CADS-RC etc do a great job of it. There have been real improvements to RC detailing in ASD, which is where it seems ADSK is spending most of its development time for RC detailing. <br /><br />I've got a webinar in May updating people on AutoCAD Structural Detailing, will keep you up to date.<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />Rob,<br />CadassistRob Clarknoreply@blogger.com
