Wise commentators dampen their predictions by saying “BIM has the potential” but there are also many that label Revit as DT. As scary as it would be for many for the ‘drawing’ to disappear from the process suddenly, I’d still say it would not be DT – just a bit of yesterday’s news. What if you could do buildings straight away?
