I understand that Revit LT is a 'one man show' and that you cannot divvy up the model into workgroups. I think if even two products are useful for you like say Revit and AutoCAD, that it ends up being cheaper than individually and you can consider the rest 'bonus'.Ĭonsider this a 'bump' or a 'second that motion' post since I, too, am interested in these questions. individual products, there is a LOT of software there. For a single person firm, or small firm doing projects with only one person on the team, it should work just fine.Īs for the full suite vs.

So if you intend to use it in a multi-person firm, it would prove very difficult. However, the most important limitation is that Revit LT does not have work sharing. There are certain in-place features not there as well and it is only architectural and not multi-discipline. Stairs can only use the new component based stairs and not the sketch-based ones. The question is: have any Architect out there used Revit LT and also used full Revit? If so, what are your experiences? Do you believe that paying another $5K or so is worth it to go with the Bldg Des Suite? Or is Revit LT just fine alone? Or how about Revit Architecture? Is that adequate and the Bldg Des Suite overkill? Will we, as Architects ever use all the programs in the entire Suite? It is too much software to learn? Or does it all come with time and prove useful?Įach of the limitation that you mentioned for LT are correct. Also you can't create stairs by the Sketch Mode. I understand that certain things are not included in Revit LT and that AutoDesk has 'crippled' the LT version by not included in-software rendering or the ability to create certain in-place features and that you are not supposed to be able to create roof trusses in the LT version. I've seen the AutoDesk comparison tables, but not yet heard from any actual users of Revit LT versus full Revit Architecture or AutoDesk Building Design Suite (which includes Revit all-in-one Architecture-Structure and MEP).
