Revit architecture, I prefer Revit because of its tools, regardless of the difference between the two systems as the Revit represents the BIM system and AutoCAD represents the CAD system, Is more flexible, easier and more compatible with buildings and has a very high ability to work architectural designs and construction of any block no matter how complex and whatever strange shape.

I think AutoCAD is easier than the REVIT but it is only a drawing program ; while REVIT on the other hand is including everything; drawing , designing , quantity surveying and more, by the way I am a civil engineer not architect Regards

i think autoCAD should be used for the first step for drawing then we can export the file into revit for modeling and other details.

 I think that Revit is better in cordination and drwings ( no clash)

but in ordinary broject they can`t afford Revite or deal with.

i hope this is useful for you

The difference between them  that AutoCAD used for primarily a drafting tool to create basic geometry that represents real life

Revit used to create geometry that’s equipped with real-life information, hence the term building information modeling, or BIM.

Both AutoCAD an software to create 2D drawings such as floor plans, elevations, details, etc.. 3D models and objects d Revit are widely used CADconstruction documents, and rendered images

The option is due to your orientation

I prefer RevitCAD because its fast accurate and reliable, and as one designs, from the floor plan the 3D follows forth, unlike AutoCAD, there is no need for one to finish with the plan and Start the 3D separately, and Revit corrects u as soon as mistake arises, in a nut shell, Revit is easy, accurate and reliable

 I think that Revit is better in cordination and drwings ( no clash) in mega or important project because it save the time and if u want to make any change you can do it easy and faster than autocad

AUTOCAD FIRST FOR 2D PLAN

REVIT SECOND FOR 3D PLAN

I think autocad architecture is better than Revit because it serves both drafting and architecture, but ArchiCAD is better than them both.
