While Autocad is just providing the opportunity to draw lines , Revit provided the way for using a smart technology which deals with the architectural components as they really are in the main world , it enhances the work quality and reduces the mistakes as much as possible, Revit is the architecture future in my opinion .

Synergies and similarities:

- They both have tremendous abilities in the composition of the buildings, they have all the tools architectural. For example: they have walls, doors, windows, stairs, handrails, floors, ceilings, walls your doors and windows and walls of rooms and spaces, and others.

 

- Both aimed at architects, engineers and decorators alike. Contains two tools for working in the Department of architectural projects, such as: levels, tags, symbols, schedules, special tools job details, duties, trains, etc.

 

- They both have a balance with other disciplines, such as: structural engineering, electrical, mechanical.

 

- Both products. You can use them in making a project, and work on it from beginning to end, from the ground up.

 

- Both products can be used in offices and companies small, medium and large. Any that don't border them.

 

 

The differences:

- Command architecture, as is evident from its name, depends on the platform command classic. It includes all the functions of command, in addition to all the tools architectural. And therefore previous knowledge of patca classic.

As for rift, it does not depend on the command. So; does not require previous knowledge of patca for you to work on it.

 

- Rift starts projects in a single database file, integrated. If the project is working on a person, is stored each project in only one file. If I need several people to get to this project, the file is divided into portions by the file linked or Worksets. This principle of operation of the rift has divided the entire project into parts for cooperation and coordination. Rural I forget all the parts are coordinated, real, and growing with each other.

Command architecture where the power major, in his familiarity and coherence and close cooperation with the platform command classic, files DWG widespread.

 

- The power of rural Large is full coordination between the contents of the project. This means that any change at one place in View, and at one time, it is changed in all Views. All changes in rift are coordinated and updated across the entire project.

 

For the term BIM or Building Information Modeling, is a general concept considered by some organizations such as ArchiCAD ArchiCAD company Graphisoft, and of course rift has Revit, the oscad architecture AutoCAD and Architecture of the company todisc Autodesk.

 

BIM expresses the meaning of full compatibility, integration. This concept is simply to create a virtual simulation of the full amount, i.e. create a building that imagine on the computer looks like the real amount in the site, and track the various stages of the life cycle of this project during its implementation. This concept is used to facilitate the design, pricing, life safety within buildings, the ongoing maintenance, facilities management, and much more.

Rift is the result of construction using the concept of BIM, which he made for this purpose. Command architecture development solutions BIM, but in most cases is less use of the possibilities of the program by businesses that use it, i.e. they don't benefit fully from all its potential. So; in this case, the todisc did not err when it declared that the rift is the real expression of the concept of BIM.

 

 

Which is better?

Many factors come into play when trying to assess any programs the best to use. It is a difficult choice, because each of them is fully capable to meet the needs of architectural firms and individuals.

Factors that often are not taken into account:

- The size of the company.

- The quality of the projects.

- The skill level of the users.

- The cost of training and development.

- Availability of skilled manpower.

- Commitment to continuous desire to adopt new technology.

- The level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the software tools.

- Desire to compete.

 

A lot of possible causes. Both programs require training and support on both. In spite of their similarity and repudiation of the other to Own the program company two alike! However, there are no plans (retired) announced todisc for the command architecture. The program still works and will have a new version every year. Also rift –of course - enjoy is the other future of long attention and follow cleaning and disinfection. In the end, both programs require a radical change in the methods and in the traditional mindset adopted the use of the software substitute for pen and Ruler.

 

The decision is yours. Whichever you choose?

Find what you want from the program is commensurate with your potential and your abilities.

And development and see what the market demands. When you can begin.

both. they can use any of the two. but revit is more realistic than autocad.

Most definitely Revit is going to be more widely used than auto cad because , it is easier , faster , more user freindly , it encompasses more tools , you can do every aspect of building interior and exterior design with Revit ,structural , Mep and Architectural drawings plans are done easily in Revit , add to all of that its superior rendering and modeling capabilities and the choice becomes abvious .

becuase this is use in industrial level and make desing a map of house and buildings.

REVIT Provides easy for section vies ,cordination checking,more clarity than autocad.it also gives good runnering,walkthrough.more faster than using autocad

While Autocad is just providing the opportunity to draw lines , but rivit is more aduvanced sotfware its mainly for architectural designs.

It will be the both. because both software are from autodesk. the reason autodesk bought revit software in is due to the users choosing Revit over Auto Cad.

As long as there is auto desk, architects should learn both software to use. 

In my view for2D- Auto cad,3D Exterior- Revit, and3D Interior-3DS Max.

revit is much more flexible than autocad. doing modifications on revit are much easier than autocad. the future is obviously for revit.

while using autocad we are drawing lines as vectors and each line is a seperate vector which it doesn't refer to any thing else. for example when we draw walls in a plan, we have to re-draw the same walls again for the section or the elevation etc.

on the other hand, revit is much more complex and interactive. when we draw lines, they are not just lines, they are defining elements which can be seen as plan drawings, sections, elevations etc. so here we are drawing graphical lines and not vectors. 

there is also plenty of options on revit that make designing easier and more accurate.

Definitely Revit. It did improve and ease the work.

Whenever you get to learn it, you'll love it since it provides more tools and gives better results. A new high level.

Revit will be use in future because AutoCAD is used for drafting of internal and external areas of buildings whereas Revit used for generating perfect plans for building information modeling (BIM) for bigger projects.
