What do you like best about Civil 3D?

La administración de los datos permite conjugar puntos, superficies, ejes de proyecto, perfiles. De una manera metòdica y fluida. Se integra perfectamente con los datos de obra y de campo que provienen de equipos topogràficos. Obtienes datos para replanteo en campo y comparativas de superficie de una manera ràpida. Implementarlo es fàcil ya que las rutinas de trabajo permiten que el usuario aprenda ràpido el uso. El ambiente de trabajo es Autocad asi que integrarlo con los usuarios de este popular software se da de manera transparente. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

Uno de los puntos débiles es el autosalvado, si no eres cuidadoso tienes que repetir nuevamente el trabajo. El lado flaco de Civil 3d es la exportación al formato IFC, si requieres datos en este formato tendrás que editarlos con otro software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Civil 3D solving and how is that benefiting you?

Las herramientas de creación de superficies de terreno son muy potentes, puedo obtener los datos de practicamente cualquier medio, desde curvas de nivel hasta nubes de puntos. Me ayuda mucho en labores de topografia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is super productive for 2D drawings (drafting and annotation).It allows me to create multiple or very large, technical drawings (blue prints) and building plans, with less fear for error due to broken relationships,which is perculiar to paramaetric desgin softwares. AutoCAD has unique abilites like use of layers, blocks, xrefence and Osnaps, which make your drafting experince unforgetable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD's files structure doesnt feature categorizing a design file into parts, componets and bodies, its sees all as one, making it less suitable for 3D designs practices

AutoCAD design is mostly manipulated geometrically instead of parametrically, certain operations and task would be difficult and time consuming to carry out manually and repetitively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the latest years, AutoCAD incoperated advance levels of automation,file manipulation and data management,this has made the use of the software for managing large projects and performing repetitive task more easy. I can easily add fresh/waste water supply layouts to building plans, without fear of inconsitency ,missing refrences, file acess & control etc. With AutoCAD 3D (solid,surface and mesh), i can easily generate freehand 3D concepts which i would develop later on a sister software.

What do you like best about Revit?

- Once you understand the interface and options menu, it’s easy to use.

- Consistency in the UI, even for such a massive software.

- You can literally export anything you create, with complete control over every single line, thickness, family, color, and property.

- Integrations, integrations, and more integrations—you can connect it to almost anything, its easy to implement!

- Cloud services are top-tier.

- Supports electrical, HVAC, mechanical, and architectural work seamlessly. Tons of featuers as well

- Allows you to create and edit families with ease.

- A huge library of websites offers ready-made families for use.

- A massive community of Revit add-ins enhances the software, adding new features or improving specific ones like thermal analysis, exporting options, layouts, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Revit?

- Be cautious when saving files and working across different Revit versions, as files cannot be saved in older formats.

- The interface can feel overwhelming at times, which may be a challenge for new users.

- Certain tools behave differently from the main tools, so it’s essential to keep that in mind.

- Performance tends to slow down with larger projects, which is understandable but still

- The rendering engine isn’t the best, but you can easily export to or use other engines.

- It can be expensive, especially if you rely on multiple Autodesk software programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Revit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Literally working on projects while building them as you draw—it saves time and allows you to export to almost anything for any purpose. It’s flexible, reliable, and becomes easier to use over time. BIM, in general, is the art of doing everything simultaneously, from plans to sections, elevations, and finally, completing it all with a 3D model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AutoCAD?

- The easiest 2D drafting software! I’ve been using it almost daily for work and university since around the 2010 versions.

- I can easily save and import files to other Autodesk software, like Revit.

- 3D drafting is also available if needed. While it’s not my main focus, I’ve used it for a while, and it’s easy to learn and implement, even in 3D.

- An industry-standard software—enough said.

- They have many agencies for customer support across multiple countries. I haven’t needed them yet because I’ve never had an issue!

- Tons of tutorials are available everywhere.

- Sharing files is seamless and straightforward.

- Frequent updates and new versions with exciting features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

- The price, obviously. Students can get it for free for a few years, but for standalone designers, it’s a significant expense.

- Same issue with subscriptions—it sometimes feels very strict.

- I’ve always used the Windows version, but I recently had to switch to Mac, and there are slight changes in the interface and settings. It can be a bit confusing. Just make it universal!

- I know there’s a cheaper, lighter version for designers, but what if you suddenly need all the features for just one small instance? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s more of an enabling tool. AutoCAD is a worldwide industry standard for drafting, offering absolute accuracy compared to the time-consuming process of manual drawing. There are endless reasons why it’s invaluable, but the highlight for me is the undo and redo options, because you definitely can’t do that in real life! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AutoCAD?

Supports various file formats and makes colaboration easier. It has a good customer support and online resources to support beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Requires high perofrmance hardware to support big files. It does not have ample data when compared with other 3d softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Supporting collaboration: It supports various file formats and makes collaboration with other professionals easier.

Precision and accuracy: It provides several tools, such as lines, arcs, circles, polylines, and intricate curves, for making 2D and 3D drawings in a single software and enables highly precise designs and drawings.

Ease of use: Because the drafting process is so simple, even beginners may use it with ease. Beginners can learn more easily and seasoned users can stay up to date thanks to the abundance of online resources, forums, tutorials, and webinars accessible.

Removing manual drafting: AutoCAD accelerates the drafting process by allowing for the rapid digital generation and alteration of designs. User can simply edit, duplicate, relocate, and mirror components, which saves time on revisions and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Revit?

It provides accurate digital representations of buildings and is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Revit?

Inability to open/ save files in previous versions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Revit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating accurate digital representations of buildings that include both graphical and non-graphical information about the building becomes essential for everyone working in the AEC sector. In addition to helping create accurate digital representations of buildings, Revit enables end users to add their own additional properties as needed. The main benefit of Revit is that it produces attributes based on actual building data and takes into consideration different elements in different ways. With real-time updates and shared data, all teams can collaborate on the same model using Revit's BIM platform. Additionally, Revit saves time because an architect doesn't have to draw elevations and sections independently as revit provides the same functionality while creating plans. With the use of Revit's energy analysis tools, designers can simulate energy consumption, optimize building performance, and evaluate how different design choices may affect sustainability. As a professional working in BIM, Revit helps me personally by saving my time and effort when developing accurate building models compared to creating merely plans. It also makes quality assurance of models easier because I only need to make changes in one view to update changes across numerous views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Civil 3D?

What I like most about Civil 3D is its versatility to work with dynamic modeling and at the same time the precision of working with georeferenced points to mark them in the field, guaranteeing the accuracy of the location of the buildings to be built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Civil 3D?

One drawback of Civil 3D in my case is its tendency to experience performance issues with large file sizes. This makes it difficult for me to work with complex projects with detailed surfaces, alignments, and point clouds; the software can slow down a bit or even cause my laptop to freeze, especially when I work from computers with low processing power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Civil 3D solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the problems that this software helps me solve is its ability to visualize 3D models and point clouds with their final result and at the same time detect possible problems in the early stages of design.

This helps me to carry out pre-reviews and design presentations to experienced engineers, which improves team communication and minimizes design errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Revit?

The most useful aspect of Revit is the ability to model in 3D, which means that any change you make to the model will be updated in each of the created views, plans, details, and quantity tables, which did not happen when you modeled or designed in 2D with other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Revit?

For the Latin American region, what I like the least is the price that must be paid, as our currencies are worth less than the dollar, making software expensive for design and modeling companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Revit solving and how is that benefiting you?

It basically solves everything, and if it doesn't, it is necessary to have knowledge of DYNAMO, which is a type of plugin for Revit that even allows you to program. It is a very powerful tool that helps when modeling and providing information about the different designs to the model and taking it to a 5D level, even with quantities and a construction schedule.
