I have used the best BIM software, REVIT Architecture, exclusively for the past five years. I have utilized
REVIT Architecture not only for construction documents, but have also created
parametric 3D family files for a mass production home company that enabled an
increase in quality control and other efficiencies.
I have use REVIT Architecture to work with builders out of
state to develop their ideas in a 3D model which they in turn use with the
customers or sub contractors. I frequently use Autodesk's Design Review which is an effective free tool which enables builders and designers to communicate the
needs and ideas for a building all in the 3D.
