"Small pack with great features"
As it is the lite version of Revit this becomes it cheaper and easy to use. It is one of the basic software to switch over the BIM.

What do you like best about Revit LT?

Revit LT provides a good base software solution for professionals that want to learn the basics of BIM without committing to the full software suite where they may not utilize all of the features. It is easy to navigate and teach our team members how to begin the basics of BIM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Revit LT?

It would be very helpful if Revit LT included some base MEP modelling features for smaller firms that may not take advantage of the heating/cooling load calculation software but still want to do some modelling of building systems. Duct and plumbing & drainage system modelling in the Revit LT software would lead to 100% adoption by our whole team. Without that, it is just a few of us that use Revit LT on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:

Check out the features of Revit LT to ensure that it meets your organizations needs for basic BIM uses. If you're an MEP firm it does not have the building services components, families or features required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Revit LT allows some of our team members to open and navigate building models without needing the full software. This is helpful for our engineers that may not do much design work. It also allows us to view models sent by project architects to determine service routing and potential clashes between the structure and our services. This is very helpful for the schematic and concept design phases where we can establish service routing challenges and coordinate these with the other disciplines before it leads to a clash.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Revit LT?

The parametric families can be tailored to create any object you need. This saves time later when you need a similar object. Revit LT 3d views (can't create renderings) are pretty ok, mainly when used with ambient shadows and realistic material view. For some clients, this will be satisfactory, and you can skip renderings altogether. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Revit LT?

Revit LT lacks some basic Revit Features - like manipulating flat roof points or creating renderings. It also doesn't support plugins, so you can't use more advanced rendering options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:

Usually, Revit LT is all you need. Full Revit is only required when doing a large project with multiple architects and other designers working on the same file. You will miss rendering options (only online rendering is available), but that doesn't seem to be a big issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've created many templates so that my colleagues can apply a template to a view and have a consistent view style in all our projects.

Also, I've created a parametric window family with a varying number of subwindows, an on-off switch for opening, an air went. Instead of looking through the library, you can use one single object with all the options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Revit LT?

Its easy to use and the data updates in real time. For example, if you are working in a plan view and if you change something then it is updated in every view and in entire building. It is real time 3D modelling tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Revit LT?

Only thing I dislike is, the Revit projects saved in higher version of the software can not be used in lower version. For example, if you save your project in 2020 version of software, then you can not use them on versions lower than 2020. But it can be opened in higher versions than 2020 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Creating 3D models, 2D sheets, quantity takeoffs. This helps in overall design of the project and helps to maintain and reduce the cost of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only if the tool was able to do visualizations, it would have been perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:

It is a great tool and the price compared to Revit is also better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been using Revit LT to create BIM models and interact with clients and contractors. The tool has helped a lot to reduce number of change orders and alterations to the design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Revit LT?

It offers the basic features that I use as a structural engineer. Be it modeling structural elements, preaparing materials take-off sheets, or phasing the project.

However, the user should carefully check what features are included in the LT version and decide for himself / herself if this is the right package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Revit LT?

I dislike the fact that work-sharing is not available on Revit LT; I mean, what is Revit without work-sharing and being able to reflect your work and changes for others to see and work upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Revit LT:

Consider carefully if work-sharing is needed before deciding to get Revit LT. Also, note that the tools for mechanical engineers are also entirely missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Modeling structural elements, preparing design drawings and take-off sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
