    |
|
Hello,
Most of my design project is assigned using Revit not AutoCAD in school.
Why is that? Just because Revit is user friendly? |

because they want to train you to replace autocad users who don't want to learn revit maybe?
it is not really a vs thing its a & thing that guarantees sales and market dominance.
think inside the (auto)box ;O

| Revit is the architectural version of Autocad, Autocad is the dominant CAD progran for all kinds of applications, to enormous to be mastered by students, and some times by professionals who use auto cad for decades. |

| At my university they use standard Autocad and Visualization, is there any true advantage to using Revit specifically? |

if you want to do any state/federal work they require BIM models now

Oh brother!
I hope that makes you feel better because that's all that statement is worth... ...and only to you and your mother.
Get over yourself. BIM is just a different kind of CAD. |

| I guess that is how they differentiate between Architects and Drafters in India. No wonder the US don't offer reciprocity for Architects from India. |

it's not true
the draftsman and the architect know both and more in this day and age.
like Rhinoceros to get more complex geometry into Revit.

dare a school take any risks to say no to only the monopoly? there are many more choices
i'd like to see a school save by using IntelliCAD and Blender

| Revit is the next step to what seems like the very very long road to what BIM should be. It has been catching on in the professional world more and more in the past couple of years. Both are owned by Autodesk. The market is swinging toward Revit so I think it is best that your school is preparing you for that. |
