![]() ![]() For all of Sketchup and Rhino’s capabilities as modelers, they are lacking when it comes to drawing up a plan or a section. What I like to use Revit for conceptually is better understanding the spatial qualities of a design. Revit sees everything through the lens of controlled views. It may not be as intuitive as Sketchup or a powerful modeler like Rhino, but with an understanding of what tools to use, it can help play a useful role in design development. As such, there are elements of it that can be very helpful in exploring the spatial properties of a design using controlled views such as sections and plans. Revit is a powerful tool for documentation. It is not a knock on any particular software, but rather an acknowledgement of how well each one does its primary task. So just as a graphic designer might use Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator for different purposes, so do I use Revit, Sketchup, Grasshopper via Rhino, and hand sketching. There are just things different programs do better than others. Even a Revit expert such as myself uses other software. It is not even a post about the promising Autodesk FormIt, Dynamo, or Revit’s In-Place Mass tool – which is often the initial place people go if they are trying to do something conceptual in Revit. ![]() This is not a post telling you to throw out Sketchup and just use Revit. ![]()
