    Chose Revit
    First and foremost, Revit is BIM-based software, which in itself offers significant advantages over 3D modelling programmes such as Rhino or SketchUp. Project management takes place on several levels as well as in different time phases (for example, it is also possible to …

    Chose Revit
    Revit is hands on and easy to learn. Very accurate and great for construction documentation. One can create in 2D and have elevations, sections and 3D views ready. So it is very helpful to visualize. Drawback - It is comparatively harder to draw curves and spherical …

    Chose Revit
    Revit is great for documentation. I also use Rhino 3D for rapid prototype scenarios that can be imported in, but in the end everything should be documented in Revit because it really is easy.

    Chose Revit
    There are really no competitors to Revit for large complex building projects. It is essentially an industry standard, and we would not be able to complete our work or collaborate with our consultants effectively if we did not use Revit. AutoCAD is still used in the office for …

    Revit is the most set up for full size drawing sets and ease of translating drawings to sheets.

    Chose Revit
    Revit makes 3D modeling accessible and efficient, allowing users to create complex models without needing to navigate overly complicated systems. Its intuitive tools help streamline the modeling process, enabling designers to focus more on design intent. This ease of use is …

    Chose Rhino
    Rhino is a generic platform. For BIM, you can combine it with Revit or ARCHICAD or look for extensions, such as VisualArq or the GeometyGym extensions for Grasshopper. Due to its good interoperability, I often use it for reviewing AutoCAD drawings or converting 3D models. …

    Chose Rhino
    Our company has all of these products listed above. In the design field, it would be misguided to think that one tool is all you need for a collection of staff with varying levels of expertise. It's not a question of 'one or the other', but rather how can they all contribute to …

    Chose Rhino
    Rhinoceros 3D is an excellent tool for quick concepts, as are programs like SketchUp and AutoCAD. However, Rhinoceros 3D excels at being flexible in terms of file exports and the capability to work with other software easily like Adobe Creative Suite, Revit, and more. It is a …

    Chose Rhino
    I think that out of all of these, Rhino is best at having the freedom to design in 3D specifically, and it is a better 3D design tool than SketchUp and Revit. I think it pairs really well with the use of AutoCAD for 2D construction drawings and other 2D outputs.

    Chose Rhino
    It's hard to compare Rhino to other modeling software as Rhino is in a niche of its own. No other software (to my knowledge) is as customizable/programmable and has such a large community and such a large amount of free, open-source addons.
    Rhino (and Grasshopper) can be …

    Chose Rhino
    Rhino serves a very specific purpose in my work: for any geometry that can't be described simply in plan and section, Rhino offers tools to model and document these geometries. With the Grasshopper plugin, Rhino is my go-to tool for any parametric design tasks, such as creating …
