Gordon mentioned something in another post that got me thinking:
Our Revit implementation is still in it's infancy and so far only my boss and I have done anything in Revit outside of school and it's been interesting. The one comment he makes most, other than a lot of swearing because he over constrained or doesn't know how to do something, is that it seems a lot slower. I know the workflow and timing of document phases gets shifted quite a bit but sometimes I have a hard time justifying it to him. In his mind he is behind getting a schematic set out to a client because he is having to do tasks like model EIFS trim & soffits on the exterior where before it was just linework and was pretty easy to copy/paste from one element to another. In this particular case it is another hotel so there is a brand provided standard / set of drawings that our building needs to come close to. Once it is into CD it should fly, at least until we hit annotations (haven't done much yet...) but I don't know if the time shift sits well with him. Learning curve aside I don't think he is behind necessarily but from a purely schematic standpoint he is probably in a different place than if he was using CAD.
I guess I'm looking for some general guidance / advice on how to approach it with him and how to assuage some of his worries.
Thanks- :beer::beer:
Way too many times I have seen that used as a crutch in early DD to make the set look more complete, usually with teams or PMs that are new to Revit and feel like they are behind.
