More intuitiveness, the thing what is Sketchup's major strength.

I think Autodesk really needs to try to implement more 'direct editing' into the Revit software. Revit is supposed to make the Cad part of the design easier, but it actually makes the whole workflow chaotic and unproductive. Only a few people in the office know how to edit families properly.all the rest just paddles around with half ass'ed files. Revit: 9.5) and user satisfaction (SketchUp: 97 vs. Furthermore, you can compare their overall ratings, for instance: overall score (SketchUp: 8.9 vs. In our office, this results in people being unhappy using it as they need to focus 70% of their time on the tool, instead of being able to focus on the matter at hand, i.e the design. Here you can compare SketchUp and Revit and see their features compared contrastively to help you select which one is the better product. It is an intuitive design tool that does not require any prior knowledge. It plugs directly into your modeling program, giving you integrated visualization and design workflow. Not sure if a revit-export write a proper face-orieatation to the DWG format.Īs I am not a Autocad user (I was always happy to use Vectorworks previously), could you point out where I can find the 3D-Face-Blocks optimise command(s) in Autocad? Thanks.Īnd about Revit in general,I think the trouble with it is that the learning curve is just a bit too high. Enscape, a virtual reality and real-time rendering plugin for Revit SketchUp, Rhino SketchUp, Rhino Archicad, Vectorworks, and Vectorworks, is available. Personally find that Revit hollow shells models and the information I need as a builder is simply not there so I detail in Sketchup, yet, many simply want to use the Revit file for photorealistic rendering or cannot afford the cost of Revit, no matter the reason the show must go on. I had to optimize my 3D-Face-Blocks in autocad to look good in SU.

So are the faces missing or does they look different, because you look on the default-color of a backside?
