It's a roller coaster at first but then .... watch out - you won't ever want to do CAD again.  Doesn't take long unless you can't clear your haed of the CAD thought process.  Learning to think in the REVIT way will be your biggest hurdle because it's just too simple.

Well, i work in CAD by almost 20 years and in REVIT almost 2 years and i tell you, Revit it's better than CAD in Architectural projects, i'm not talking in 2D details because this is arguable... it's hard at the begining but...

oh the joys and pains of Revit.  After 3 years, I can honestly say that I have trouble going back to just 2D.  However, it is a HUGE leap of thought processes.  Like WWHub said, learning to think in Revit is the biggest challenge.  But the first time you spin a model in front of a client and place them inside what you've designed with a camera, I promise, all of the frustration will be worth it.  When we swtiched over to Revit, I'd say it was about 3 months of dedicated time to learn the program/get up to the speed I had been at with CAD (that's 3 months of precious few billable hours).  But once over the initial learning curve, you'll wonder how you ever functioned without it.  The forums here are great for learning answers to nearly all revit questions (there are a lot of very smart people that kindly answer all manner of questions).  They are also great for venting frustrations. 

 

Best of luck.  It does get better.
