Future problems with Revit---- Kaili Yue

What are the possible future problems with Revit/BIM?

 I am a novice for Revit. After I watched the teaching videos I could do the simple drawing with Revit. Just need some more practice; I think I will be able to do some more complex buildings draft drawing. In the future, I think the software will become easier and easier. People will use the software without any using experience.

The possible problem in future with Revit, it might become an unprofessional drawing software. If the software is easy to use, that means the software has less novelty. There are already many tools be designed by software engineers. The customers just need one click to select such as doors or windows. But the problem is there are so many different styles can not include in the software. It is bad to create the creative building. I can not image if the buildings are all same style. The city will become the “concrete jungle”.

The Revit or BIM are not enough to design the high technological building in the future. So far we are still focus on the building`s structure. I think in future we will more focus on the functions of building or intelligent. Along with the structure materials improved, the structure of design is going to a big issue of engineers. Stronger, lighter and more environmental materials will be used in structures. During that time, the design software is not only for drawing the structure of the building, also need to consider the others such as intelligent. As an engineer we have to prepare to for the future to design intelligent building with unintelligent design software.

A new software will combine Revit and 3D-Printing. 3D-Printing technique is the most amazing technique for me in the future. Thing about if the future building could be printed that will be a big improve for civil engineer history. Revit could program the code then the 3D-Printer could print the building with all the materials. Faster, safer, cheaper and more intelligent if this idea comes true in future.

No matter what will be changed in future we should to prepare it. Revit is a very useful drafting software for civil engineers. I am looking forward to  learn and use it in my future career.

To J Schwakoff:

I agree with "Keeping the BIM up-to-date" that is very important idea for a software. If a software stop to upgrade then it will be weeded out. Very nice and strong ideas. Good Job!

To Grigorios Papadourakis:

The current problems of Revit are in some areas currently slow on the adaptation of BIM.  It is a big issue to develop Revit. I agree the views of the article. 

To Lenny Knittel:

The cloud base is hard to say is bad or good for a software. For a very professional design software I prefer to make it more individually. It is because when you design a building it has responsibility for customers.
