I have seen it happen over and over again. You will wonder what you were afraid of and what took you so long to do it…and you will happily put your AutoCAD days behind you. But for the rest of you in the AEC industry – you will probably be casting your AutoCAD aside and making the move to Autodesk Revit.Īnd just so you know, as someone who has made my living as the Queen of AutoCAD, I feel your pain! But let me also promise you this – once you make the move to Autodesk Revit – once you fully embrace it – you will never look back. Now if you are a Civil 3D user…you get to breathe a sigh of relief – you get to stay on your beloved Civil 3D software and still enter the world of BIM. While the change in process is really the larger of the two dreaded obstacles…it’s the change in software that typically causes AutoCAD users to head for the hills. Adopting BIM requires a change in process and (usually) a change in software. You aren’t alone my friend – making the move to BIM definitely involves some changes, and that’s usually where the squirming begins. There’s just one obstacle that still stands in your way – fear of change! You understand all the advantages – you realize the world is moving to BIM and don’t want to lag behind. Alright…your department is finally considering the move to BIM because of the myriad of reasons discussed in my previous article.
