pass to revit

[atomorama]

Good morning.
I ask advice to forum experts: I take care of thermotechnical design-fire (and a little electrical) I would like to know if according to you it is worth making the transition to the 3d (which I see inevitable, especially for air channels) passing to revit or if it is better to continue with autocad and using the 3d when it presents the occasion.


Thank you very much!

depends very much on your employees. do you have freelance clients working with revit and ask you to interface to them with the same tool? Otherwise it has the balls that you design the plants in 3d when the geometra or architect with which you collaborate provides you 2d projects...in addition to the convenience of designing hvac ducts and systems in 3d, the workflow bim provides the possibility to identify the interferences with the structural part of the artifact (what in jargon is called clash detection). if the engineer designing the structure provides you two-dimensional files fall all like a castle of cards

 

[Tristan]

ah... something certainly relevant. ..passing to revit not only means buying the software (which incidentally does not cost very little) but involves a considerable effort in terms of time to learn new workflows and change approach to design. You must be aware of the investment you are making.

Thanks for the answer.

sincerely I have not yet met anyone using revit in my area (some use allplan), I interface almost exclusively with people working in 2d.

the point is to understand whether the autocad transition -> revit is an inevitable thing: I think so, and so I'd like to take a long time to learn a new software.

By reading various articles from U.S. companies, it would seem that now overseas all have jumped on the bim.


Isn't it?

you don't need to go to use; you just see in germany, united kingdom and northern Europe (practically it's just us, Iberian and Eastern Europe not to use it regularly). I assure you that in Trentino there are several studies that have purchased it (I tell you for sure why I work with an authorized dealer), but I can't tell you if and how they use it...

 

[atomorama]

well, and you say that by "mechanical" design (intensive as thermotechnical) and electrical? Does this instrument fit well?

anyway I unload the demo and I see to myself an online course!

a colleague and dear friend regularly uses it for the mep design of hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. If it was not indicated, I guess it would be the first to change the work tool. . .

 

[atomorama]

usa revit mep?

 

[Tristan]

use revit, but specializes in the mep part

 

[atomorama]

perfect.

already I ask a tip on a pc to turn revit

I found an offer with an i3 4130 with 4 gb ram, can you go?


Thank you!

If you design dog cots... you can go! don't joke from...
at least one i7 with 8 gb ram and a dedicated 2gb video card. You don't have a 400 euro pc if you want to work. if instead you are a patito of the cicca/caffè break then go on that offer

to work well with revit on projects also not so big weight it serves:
at least a good intel i5
8gb ram
good video card like nvidia gtx670 or greater.
