revit vs microstation

[kubbah]

I don't know the microstation

I want someone to make a little comparison between the two software
which is the best?

Thank you and 1 greeting!

I know microstation because I use it daily, but I don't know revit, so I can only talk to you about the first one.
Hi.

Hehe well,
If I didn't know. .
then in short
revit uses parametrised ready objects, such as continuous facades walls etc, downloadable from different online sites (there are "objects" of all types, furniture, lamps, walls, windows, etc... many editable)
the real advantage I found using "the object" continuous facade that through different lamps makes me draw the shape and the outline of the facade, modify interasse of the mounts etc etc etc.

draws directly in 3d, assigning to the walls of the heights and setting first the levels of the project (ground level, level 1, 2 and so on). .
set the prospectus views (but always with regard to my object 3d), sections etc.
but they are not seen to themselves, but they are views of a 3D object

there is a plant view manager, prospective sections (maybe modify the "cutting plan" of a plant view, or move the "cutting plan" of a section view), every move autimatically updates the corresponding views

How is microstation?
Thank you.

I'd just take microstation for paraslid. However, the latter also has the parametric module, as well as being modeler nurbs/solids, and we do not forget generating component, the visual mathematical script simil boldhopper.

mah, in microstation you can draw both in 2d and in 3d, depends on your needs. there are levels, which you can decide to change, add, etc... anytime. has no command lines as instead autocad, but maybe it has a better use of 3d.
If you're interested in specific building design functions, I don't know what to tell you. we use it in the naval design as it is the cad that until yesterday used fincantieri and therefore for greater practicality of exchange.. .

......... is the cad that until yesterday used fincantieri and therefore for more practicality of exchange.. .

Really? I was thinking about using cad type nx or cad. Why do they use microstation?
However it has the module for paramentary architecture, on the site there are demonstrations, but also here in the video section, there are links to youtube.

I don't know. we had to adapt in order to possibly exchange files but it is a choice that was made several years ago. is not that we change sw very often (we!), we are stopped at v8.
I don't know if they still use it today. I had heard about changes though, I don't know. I know that there are triforms and staads which additional modules plus another analysis sw which I do not remember the name. in the naval field there is nauship (for the cutting sheet).

We are currently in v8i version of microstation and all its applications. triform, as an application, no longer exists having been inserted in bentley architecture which is the current architectural microstation; In addition, within microstation, it has been inserted component generation that allows a parametric modeling also extremely complex of any form.
in the current v8i (which supports a very advanced version of dynamic views both for 3d modeling and for the representation of two-dimensional views) does not make much sense to talk about 2d and 3d. the working environment should always be three-dimensional; use microstation to draw in 2d would be like buying a ferrari to make only the one hundred meters that separate you from the daylight.
the learning curve of microstation and bentley architecture is quite steep. if you are interested in the bentley website you can find short online courses (some free) in Italian with so much instructor to ask questions.

trains and candies.
revit is a bim software that allows easy creation of a 3d model (less keep it under control for other things like computs and the rest).
goes to God until he does what he expects but, as archicad, becomes slender if he has to make non-linear structures (e.g. existing and old masonry, or not in squadron.
microstation is like autocad, so it is a hard and pure cad (although compared to autocad continues to better manage the 3d in my opinion) has a great control system and the triform module allows the construction of walls and openings, but it does it in an environment integrated with the classic design, where the latter has the prevalence. But it's completely paramentary.
question of taste: microstation is less intuitive and forces to reason "for floors" and not for lines in 3d but it is enormously more flexible when the problem emerges that in revit you do not know exactly how to deal with.
