HI, i have been asked by my company to explore Revit and one of the questions I had from IT was what is the file size of a typical model. Now I realize that it all depends on how big the model, how many floors etc. but if someone could give me a ballpark idea that would be great. Thanks!

from what i have heared, a good rule of thumb is 5 times x ( a comparable Autocad file size) 1 meg. in Autocad - 5 megs in Revit. how they came up with this ratio i don't know. if it is true or not i don't know. but i'm sure i am about to find out. Which is good, cause i would like to know too.

The first thing to tell your IT guys is that the REVIT file is probably no larger than your combined files from AutoCAD for a similar project. Our working central file for a 4-5 story hotel is about 150 meg at the end of a project but that can be miss-leading to your network guys depending on what they may be looking at. Because you actually work on a local copy and only update items in the main file, I think your network traffic is less than it is with AutoCAD.
