When you Install different flavors of Revit now, you basically install the same program several times. While it doesn't really matter that much since we all have huge hard drives, so who cares if several gigs are used for nothing but copies of the same thing...<br /><br />Well Revit is a precision drawing tool and if that is the best level of precision the developers at Autodesk are able to deliver then it does matter. This is actually an issue for another topic, how much slower any new release of different Autodesk product is... I am really worried about that, but lets get back to the "Sweet" Revit.<br /><br />Personally I like the way Allplan is doing it. They have a basic version that has all the basic tools for different disciplines and is mostly focused on architecture. Then however you are able to get additional "modules" for different disciplines that extend the avaiable tools for that discipline. So you don't need to Install an extra copy of the main program, you just extend the existing installation, very much like the existing subscription plus packages work in Revit.<br /><br />Opening all the time three different (but still the same) programs to do some inter-discipline work on one project is also a bit dumb from Revit...sasonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-787868743515736512008-09-08T08:17:00.000-07:002008-09-08T08:17:00.000-07:00As a general contractor using all three programs r...As a general contractor using all three programs regularly, I would certainly love to see a single Revit that does it all. I'd be willing to pay almost the price of buying all three (less due to reduced flexibility using network licenses). Managing the IT is unnecessarily burdensome with three separate packages (NLM setup/upgrade for each along with updates, add-ons, etc.).Spinnacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018611928398176373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-71357222588516735262008-09-07T16:32:00.000-07:002008-09-07T16:32:00.000-07:00Being a small consultancy service I relish the day...Being a small consultancy service I relish the day when I could acccess all products in one package<BR/><BR/>C'mon on Autodesk, get with the program & make it happen!!!bladshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779931225971527237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-91536585142150458882008-09-06T19:32:00.000-07:002008-09-06T19:32:00.000-07:00I may be wrong, but I think that Structural and ME...I may be wrong, but I think that Structural and MEP firm would, pretty much, stay with the "one" flavor appropriate to their trade. It's the architects, designers, and contractors - small and large - that would benefit most from, and be the largest adoptors of a single package. They are the "conductor/composers", if you will of the built environment. Small shops, like mine, would be among the first in line.<BR/><BR/>Go Revit Building!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-76252344944917376692008-09-05T20:19:00.000-07:002008-09-05T20:19:00.000-07:00Yep, the idea that an Autodesk Product Manager dec...Yep, the idea that an Autodesk Product Manager decides this person needs a certain subset of tools to do their job is just wrong. <BR/><BR/>I think there would be a huge demand for "Revit All".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
