![]() Many site design professionals who are considering updating their workflows by incorporating BIM think about the discomfort of change or the perceived complications of working so closely with other stakeholders. Prior to making a decision, it is important to carefully consider each option.What comes to mind when you think of building information modeling (BIM)? Which one is the better choice?īoth the software, like everything in the world, has both advantages and disadvantages. Overall, Revit is a suitable tool for professionals in all areas of AEC where BIM is applicable. Revit can be used by architects, contractors, structural engineers, and electrical consultants at any stage of the project. ![]() In terms of team collaboration, Revit is superior to Vectorworks as it is an Autodesk product, offering ease of communication regardless of the AEC field. It is a good tool to learn for beginners to do 2D and 3D modelling as Vectorworks modelling has intuitive and flexible tools that make 3D modelling easy. There are 10 different language options available on the site, so it attracts users from around the world. In addition to architects and landscape designers, these stakeholders may also include artists. There are three subscription-based licences available for purchase: $335 per month, $2675 per year, and $7625 for three years. Students and academicians have free renewable access to Revit's educational resources. Vectorworks offers both Windows and Mac OS compatibility, which makes it an advantage over Revit. An individual copy of Vectorworks Design Suite is available to students and academicians for free. It costs $198 per month and $1980 per year to subscribe to the Design Suite with Architect, Landmark, and Spotlight functionality. You can purchase a perpetual license for $3045 for lifetime access, or you can subscribe for $153 per month ($127 per month) or $1530 per year ($127 per month). Two options are available for purchase in Vectorworks. When used in parallel, BIM 360 provides a cloud-based platform for managing data and collaborating with other team members. The interoperability of Revit software with other Autodesk applications is undeniable. ![]() When a file containing georeferencing data is imported, it is not lost since Vectorworks can read georeferencing data encoded in a file format, even if it is in an a.dwg file. Moreover, it has made it possible to easily integrate new technologies like point clouds, AR & VR, and cloud services. These programmes include Revit, Rhino, Sketchup, and Autocad, among others. Along with supporting a wide range of file formats, such as openBIM and IFC, it also makes it simple to import and export data to and from other programmes. Users of Vectorworks software can communicate with one another and synchronise the work process using shared cloud services. There are more powerful rendering engines available for Revit, such as Vray and Twinmotion, which can be used instead of the Revit rendering engines if the user is not satisfied with their performance. There is no doubt that this program offers even more flexibility when it comes to parametric modelling than Rhino or even Grasshopper. These add-ons improve the software's usability by making it easier to model, record, and do analyses as well as to perform visualisations. Both Autodesk and other developers provide a wide range of Revit plugin possibilities. ![]() Revit is one of those apps that has the most number of plugins which are available from both Autodesk and third-party developers. ![]() Furthermore, Cove.tool allows different simulations and analyses of building performance. You can create photorealistic renderings and animations with plugins such as Enscape and Lumion. Varieties of Pluginįor Vectorworks, third-party developers offer plugins and add-ons similar to those for Revit. Also, one of Autodesk's software's advantages is its team communication tools for efficient productivity. Vectorworks Architect and Revit architecture are similar in use here.īoth parametric and non-parametric architectural modelling with embedded data is supported by Revit, which also generates project timelines and other documentation. Contrary to Vectorworks, Revit's features can be categorised according to the industry - Architecture, Structural, MEP, and Construction. Among the most widely used BIM software worldwide, Autodesk Revit can be used at every stage of the design process. ![]()
