gutters dn spouts, cornice, bell dormers, curved eaves on the roof!!!! that is quite an extensive revit model, I'm impressed.. So you just addressed a couple of my other thoughts about roofs in this program. (side note.I bought my current cad program almost solely on the basis of how it built complex roofs...it was THE only one at that rime that built any roof, except archicad ..which was my other strong contender and point of this thread.)
And the other one was: Does it allow you Time: I mean you have a system to design buildings in... so your not just guessing at stuff... you build many custome details into your work.... gotta detail it... and...you have to finish the plans....finish...finish.... hopefully todsy... but I degress... the families make the project comee to finish and give you some off time..
How about file management... if you did something like move the data... for whatever reason... whether in the computer, from a file location to another drive,(maybe too extreme,but for example, you need referencing files to be addressed easily, cause you want the entire drawing to be there a year later when you open it kind of example.) or 2) move data inside the revit files. (for instance) a 4 floor-4 unit condo, that you drew as one building, four units per floor; and very late in the process, the realtors called and want you to reorganize drawings so they have one unit per document with 4 floors eash. does that kind of stuff send the job file into total disfunction.... I know it does mine, cause i use that draw it once mindset and I draw some entities one time but use them (layer) repeatedly.
I get the idea, when looking at Revit City site Gallery, that either there are difficulties making complex models (there are a few significant buildings) most are fairly contemporary. and that due to the LARGE # of entrants the model aspect in general is fairly simple. I have made the tutorial models in Revit myself, but I certainly couldn't call them real life modeling. mine tend to be similar to yours, high in detail, far from builder grade, but they definatly need to be documented cause the contractors I deal with are not mindreaders. It looks like you can generate substantial dimensional features in Revit in a reasonable amount of time.
Thanks for your input, I like software that works right, and you are helping me understand Revit . I never know when to trust those salesmen.
