Project teams traditionally designed using 2D drawings, leaving room for misinterpretation and error between project collaborators. This siloed process also meant drawings could only be reviewed one at a time, leading to pre-construction delays. But, when it came to construction on site, manual and paper-based workflows were the norm.

A post based on my responses at the Autodesk Forum : Tangent Circle to Tangent Circle. In contrast, Revit handles it naively , because it regards our first point as ineligible to tangents because it isn't considering this particular end result: " I want to draw a line tangent to two circles ". It could be easier.

When Autodesk decided to buy Revit Technology Corporation they confused many of their own customers who, until then, were using AutoCAD or Architectural Desktop (aka ADT, now AutoCAD Architecture aka ACA). I think Autodesk has a curious relationship with its customers. It is NOT necessary to use AutoCAD if you use Revit.

First thing, first: “The survey asked a series of questions to establish current usage of both 2D and 3D CAD, as a precursor to determining likely future engagement with Building Information Modelling (BIM).” … actually, this was the question: “When producing CAD drawings, which of the following tools do you mainly use?”

More recently I read a thread at the Autodesk Forum asking about this. The premise in their situation is that it is a significant roadblock to using Revit for one of their client's projects, it doesn't meet their drawing standard unless the dimensions are inline. I was trading messages with Aaron Maller and mentioned it to him.

Karalynn also brought up the tendency of the industry to pass liability down the chain when drawing up contracts. The shifting of risk and liabilities is a very common practice when drafting contracts. Before doing the work, have the actual change order form drafted and ensure that the costs for the work are outlined clearly.
