Transferring standards between drawings Especially the layer order options in ArchiCAD which are ridiculous. Layers should NOT be part of the package. Levels, in particular the way they are displayed and handled in various views. Object/Family creation and modification, you largely have to rely on the 'baked-in' models and making new ones is a lot harder than Revit. Some things that ArchiCAD is a lot weaker in than Revit: Revit manages the licenses a hell of a lot better, and the collaboration tools are much better also (reserving, send/receive etc).
Without getting into the thick of it, ArchiCAD is somewhat closer to Sketchup, and some would find it much better for concept design within the package, whereas Revit is more difficult to quickly fab things up in that regard.ĪrchiCAD is also closer to AutoCAD in documentation methods/style so AutoCAD users may prefer that, but it again comes with an efficiency 'cost' to change your inherent knowledge/workflow.
Revit is a little more complicated but more powerful because of it. Having worked with both professionally for years, Revit is generally the superior product, but some complications come with that. Once you consider these factors you'll be able to decide which technology ecosystems is better for your business. Is there a readily available ecosystem / community of end users, content creators, manufacturers, etc that you can hire/leverage for 1-4? Is the community growing or shrinking? Is the community curious and enthusiastic or incurious and disgruntled? How does the to manage multi-user workflow? Do multiple users work on the same project and use simultaneously or on separate files or a combination of both? How does the tool create and maintain documentation (plans, schedules, elevations, sections, details, etc. How does the tool create edit and manage building content (furniture, fixtures, equipment, doors, windows, etc)? How does the tool create, edit and manage core building elements and relationships (walls, floors, roofs, stairs, etc)? Here's what's important depending on your business needs: You might as well watch a religious debate or Mac vs PC. These kinds of technical differences are distracting and don't matter. People will argue passionately for and against technical pros and cons of how easy / better / faster their favorite tool picks and clicks. There are technical similarities and differences.
