As you can read in the title, this video is only mensioned for Technical Capabilities and Features. Not overall score. Ofcourse price, finding jobs, popularity is important too. But there are tons of video in youtube that explains these. You can watch them if you wonder. But if you just wonder how both software works, this video explains this. By the way param-o is a crap. Don't come with that to me. Also Revit has dynamo but it is crap too :D Grasshopper is the best.

One of the powerful Revit tools is massing, I mean there's a great flexibility to create complicated forms with very wild shapes and geometries, then in no time these conceptual masses can be changed into buildings by just checking floors and assigning materials to the faces of these masses. Another tool I found very useful of Revit is the environmental analysis specially when using glazing elevations this tool use the climate data in the specific area and gives you the recommended area of glass to be used and many other tools.

Ok, videos like this are always more or less clickbaits, but i must say few things here: First of all, there should be advanced/top knowledge in both programs, to make real fair comparing, usually this can't be from one person, since true gurus truly use just one of the two. I said this many time, and i said it again, find two really top users and give them some real world task to do, then measure time, efficiency etc, to see what's really better and why. Second, you did compare few things in odd, way fro example when it comes to zones, you can mark them, even use textures etc, if i remember correctly. and there are other smaller things, but don't want to bother now.. And most important thing, (which you just mention briefly at the end, but should be really said first), archicad now comes with full MEP tools integrated, which is really one major things when we're talking true BIM process. You can also get tool for energy evaluation, there are a zillion good dedicated plug-ins, which develop thrum all this years in really specialized tolls (let say something like reinforcement-rebar and architerra-terrain plugin, one great plugin for wooden house structures etc. If you want to make your own parametric objects, now instead of gdl scripting, you can use paramo. For really advanced modelling, there's rhino/grasshopper active link, where you can interactive model spaceships in archicad if needed. This is in one way also one thing, that i wish archicad would support natively - NURBS (aka free-form modelling), which revit do have in it's limited way, but still. Another feature (which also could solve first one) is just simple right click, where you can transform anything or any shape into basic elements (slabs, roofs, walls etc) if needed. But let be honest here, not all studios doing Zaha Hadid work, but also studios like BIG etc uses archicad, among other software. So in the end: in line of work, they both are more or less same thing, which one have little bit different way of doing things, that's about it. Archicad is now here for decades and was/is pioneering whole BIM thing, Autoddsk stepped in really late and basically copy whole thing. There are many others well establish players (allplan, vectorworks, acad-bau etc), it is just autodesk is much more aggressive in engineer market, that's all (all this youtube bashing is not any exception). What we need is just true universal format support from all of them and playing fair (we all know which one i'm talking about). And just one last thing, which i noticing here on youtube: Why so many of you start making archicad tutorials, then start talking about revit (in most of cases) and then jump to revit all together? Don't need to answer, it was rhetorical question, i already explain reasons before.. Please, we don't' need another revit messiah, there's tons of them on youtube, just keep making archicad based material, this is much more needed (in english please, not russsian, italian, spanish etc), so people could realy learn and use this program properly, it is best tool fro architect and such (for example, in house mechanical and structural engineers etc), bare none. And my last grind: graphisoft (nemetcheck), the moment you start going autodesk route with renting licensing, its' by-bye from me or my firm, i can assure you that (and i know many others too). Keep evolving and stay true to your costumers!

Man u have said whts in my mind I really upset about the mythes of revit making it like the black magic. Singapore is using Archicad for the second tallest building in the world .. he didn't talk about the analytic structural model and most of the points of comparison are useless he just want to no. to revit . He is forgetting a major real factors of using the software which is the ease of use , how light it's on machine . Wht about the team work using Graphisoft server in from two different countries . I think working in revit in a model with more then 8 persons at a time will make revit crash .. he doesn't want to talk about the price cuz Archicad has two plans anual and permanent and the anual is cheaper Not to forget wht u have mansion a bout the green architecture analysis or Leed which way better in Archicad . Archicad has the BIM Of the year 2020 award . I really hate wht Autodesk company is doing for the companies of support but under condition of accepting people who has experience in revit to gain more money from training.

This is by far the best comparison method I have ever seen ❤❤. Basically, this type of comparison is necessary for those who are not experts in any software or at least one program. They need to understand exactly what those programs can do so they can prioritize which ones to learn first. Not sure will I get your response or not but is it possible to compare revit vs AC for structural design.

5:26 You are wrong, You can split rooms in ArchiCAD to create automated zones. Just draw a line and mark it as area boundary. Then just place a zone with a single click. Also there are color schemes for zones. Optionally you can use categories to define the color. 7:40 You just do not know how. It is possible and quite simple, just using of some shortcuts.

6:58 Use the mesh too 9:22 you can add quick layer options to the toolbar

Nice video. I mostly Use Revit. But I tend to like ArchiCad more. I didn't know about details not updating in ArchiCAD though...isn't there a way around this? I thought that filtering and making advanced selections were standard in both apps. Still, I think that Modeling in ArchiCAD is more efficient and intuitive. The family system in Revit looks like it's built for Mech design (Solidworks/Inventor like). unless it's for really advanced parametric models It's kind of cumbersome. also in Revit certain objects (families) are restricted to certain planes wich is very frustrating sometimes. I prefer ArchiCad's possibility to move objects in free space. I really like Revit's temporal dimensions...but in practice, I don't really use it that much (that's also why a lot of objects are bound to certain planes...so its both a positive and a negative feature)

Congrats for your comparative. !!! i mean this is the frist honest comparative. I Archicad user and Revit user too. Archicad is a powerfull tool for architecture. but when you see the powerfull skills from Revit like (hide and override elements in view, use linked view from another files, the possibility to project any object from the view range in a floor plan, the MEP is more complete) Yes Archicad has a powerfull GDL object, and you can make anything with them. But is not for all the Architects who had to focus on the desing, learn how to script a GDL object. In my opinion Archicad need to incorporate and ge better skills from Revit. sorry if my english is not so good. best regrads from Guadalajara, Mexico.

should add that archicad is a cad capable software. Revit requires Autocad to be a proficient software. In addition revit crashes continuosly and is a buggy software. Have you ever noticed its glitches and visualization errors such as while managing big projects or complex cad files imported? If you want to understand the real power of the two softwares, try to import a cad file into archicad and revit. Make a section and see what happens.... In addition the 3D visualization and section in archicad is unbeatable. Doing the same in Revit is not possible or too much a pain

you can draw a line on the floor plan and change ts settings to "zone boundary"- and you are done with zones. it is interesting no one who does this type of vidios are saying nothing about what every program is about: drawings or project documentation... revit is absolute rubbish when it comes to this, there is no way to print straight from revit without going to autocad and finishing the drawing.

The learning curve of Revit is too big and sometimes overcomplicated and boring! They should give up Dynamo which is horrendously complicated and how to make easy things difficult kind of staff!

I'm not a professional ArchiCAD user, but I have to say that even the downsides of ArchiCAD sounds rational, if the assumption is that this is a tool developed to serve mainly the Architect (instead of, let's say construction manager). Overall I think it's very easy to see that they consulted quite a good amount of Architects when building the software to tailor it to their needs. (unlike the condescending bastards from Revit dev team, who won't even make roof soffit taggable for more than a decade now.) First of all, although I don't like it, the inability to "modify sub-elements" in ArchiCAD shouldn't be a huge issue, especially for simpler projects. Previously I helped a PM who was Revit newbie but CAD expert to set up a Revit model, and was told to draw floor slope lines manually after I proposed the modify sub-elements function. The PM doesn't care about seeing all the small ups and downs of that slab in section, and sees all those smaller slopes within a large slab "too detailed to be modelled". Secondly, the lack of (easily accessible) parametric families - Interior designers will definitely hate this but I find that the architect typically don't need that many 3D families after all. I don't know about the workflow of Mechanical or Electrical in ArchiCAD environment, it sounds like this may be a bit troublesome when they have to put in equipments. Thirdly, the inability to coordinate detail with model: Details are supposed to reveal construction methods anyway. It's typically suggested against if someone was to put dimensions on a detail instead of a plan/section. We don't do this anymore in our office but we have had experience exporting sections and details from Revit to CAD, so our detailers (who were much more experienced in CAD) can be mobilized. Let's be honest, Although Revit is not bad at doing details, CAD is still the go-to software for that function alone (having different colours for different layers alone makes it much easier for the brain). Overall, I can see that ArchiCAD is a humble tool designed to feed into Architect's need to create Design & Working Drawings, instead of (Ooooh look at me mom) "revolutionize the work flow". It was a natural upgrade to CAD 2d drafting, and CAD users find it easier to integrate into. I understand that when it comes to allowing flexibility within a modularized 3D modelling tools, the software dev always have to pick favourites and make sacrifices. Seems to me ArchCAD dev team did a good job in deciding which function gets to be flexible / rigid based on users' need, whereas Revit... Let's not forget that until 2017/18 version they still disallow users to create a white filled region (because that angel with horns who sat on the devs' shoulder told them to force the users to use a "masking region", even though masking regions as a tool is quite under-developed and the object can only be detected as a generic "detail item" in the filter - meaning you can only alter its look manually.) (I refuse to use the word BIM because dumb people likes to create new concepts to confuse others or glorify themselves)

I have a feeling this is a very good video but your english is so poor I have no idea what your saying. It feels like every 3-4 you switch back to your native language, not sure what it is.. if you decide to do a presentation in english, do the whole thing in english and make the effort to pronounce the words.
