“How does Revit relate to AutoCAD and other drafting
programs?”
Technology
nowadays has helped a lot of scientists to proceeds with their work without
consuming time and wasting money. But if we concentrate more on the technology
used in the engineering field, it would be found that technology has granted
engineers the necessary tools to designing buildings with accuracy and
efficiency. Companies that create those designing programs are competing with
each other to provide a better efficiency and more features to their users.
According
to the assigned topic, I have collected some important data to relate two different
products from Autodesk Inc., which is one of the leading companies for
3-dimentional design, engineering and entertainment software now. In 1982,
Autodesk Inc. has introduced its first designing product called AutoCAD, this 2D
design software have impressed the users. Autodesk Revit software was then
introduced with a lot of additional features that are helpful for architects,
structural engineers, MEP engineers, contractors and designers. What made Revit
more unique when it was first introduced is the 3D representation of a model,
also how all different systems in a building can be combined together and
edited. If we are comparing now the 2015 versions of AutoCAD and Revit, more
features can be found in Revit that makes a better production of a model. Both
of them can produce 3D models in 2015, but Revit now contains intelligent 3D
model-based design tools and coordinated models and documentations. Those
additional features give users more options to include to their design. According to the lecture we have attended in
Week 3, it can be learned how Revit coordination looks like, and how easy to
monitor and link models for the structural design to the architectural design
to the MEP design. This type of software gives more ease for users not only to
represent 3D models, but to also share their designs to produce a complete
building that contains all the necessary components.
Autodesk
Inc. is now the leading software corporation that does not only provide designing
programs. It is also looking forward to provide building visualization that
involves cinematic-quality 3D animation in its new software called Building
Design Suite Premium 2015. Technology keeps advancing each year to provide more
ease that help generations to make a better production in designs.

Thank you for your helpful
comments regarding my blog. I have read yours and I think it is very
interesting because you have not only mentioned AutoCAD and Revit, but also
mentioned some other programs like ArchiCAD and AutoCAD Architecture. You have
also given your personal view on what you think is a better program.

Since you are still submitting your blog as a draft and no other students in Group E. I would have to say that I really liked how you used Autodesk's website to compare the two different type of products, which are AutoCAD and Revit. However, some more sentences should be added to complete the word count requirement.
