As an introduction I am new to Revit. My background over 40 years has been machine, mechanical and structural design. I have used many programs going back to McAuto, Bravo, Autocad 10, and up to AutoCad 2008, Solidworks, Inventor etc. Revit seems diferent from any of these, more like Chief Architect or Better homes and gardens home design. Being an object oriented platform it has many limitations when it comes to detail design and customization. The company I work for builds Habitats and living quarters and structures for off shore drilling platforms. These are a real mix of architectural and structural disciplines and we have just bought both MEP and Revit Structural. My question (after a bit of rambling) is where do you see this program heading? It is fairly new and quite new to Autodesk. Generally software like this is like the government, it moves at the will of the people with the most influence so the next question is who are the people using this with the most influence? Do you think there is enough push on the structural side to influence Autodesk to include some sorely missing features for custom structural components and detailing? It is a good program over all but we have already found it lacking in features we need, however if a few of these were addressed it would be great. So to rephrase the question, what do you think this program will look like in 3 years especially Revit structural?

Like any program, Revit will have it's limitations. Lately, I have become less thrilled with the product because I think it is sorely missing some very basic programming that is available to almost every other software out there. I personally think it needs a complete rebuild. Autodesk seems to at least be attempting to give us some stuff we want, but they are baby steps in my opinion. Three years, I don't see much change. Autodesk just won't let you into their program. They started awhile ago on the API, but that is a pathetic attempt in my opinion. Too little. Major drawbacks to me No ability to customize the UI cannot save backwards to earlier versions graphics faceted surfaces on curved parts with no control. error messages that mean nothing to a user
