    One more thing I'd like to add, being the guy who implements teamwork platforms for ArchiCAD/BIMCloud, I think this is a very important topic, as in many cases companies will need a solid collaboration solution, that might not be relevant for a solo user, but for the performance of the whole company I think ArchiCAD's BimServer/BIMCloud solutions are much more mature. Also the matter of what hardware you need to build the same thing in ArchiCAD Vs Revit, IMHO ArchiCAD uses much less resources to do the same task.

    Coming from commercial construction, there are a few big differences that always made my decision easier. #1-Interoperability, and being able to live link in PDFs (contract docs) #2-3D Working Environment, and gaining perspective on your modeling #3-Reporting Engine, and being able to shape and modify data with ease. Those who appreciate this functionality know my obvious preference. But both tools are powerful and continue to get better, one just at a faster pace :)

    ArchiCAD is best in class for what I do... I view it more as the ideal content management tool, something that can bring all formats together for enhanced review, and creating optimal project context. Revit may be more widely used in commercial construction, but I'm ok with that as I maintain my competitive advantage again and again :)

    I've been working my whole life with Revit in my firm, yet I prefer Archicad whenever I do my own projects solely for the fact that I don't need any other program other than maybe Photoshop to pair with it. I can do conceptual massing with ease (no sketchup needed), I can make detail drawings with ease (no autocad needed) and I can arrange my presentation boards right there within the program.

Here in the UK Network Rail, one of my employers main clients need to have drawings supplied in dng format. I'd rather model structures in Revit but I guess those needed for our rail projects will need to be done in AECOism. I wonder if doing them in Revit and exporting them as dgn files provided all the elements are supported.

    I dropped archicad after Learning Revit in a proper way. Nowadays architects can’t work separately alone and the interoperability between all professional Entities is extremely important. Besides Archicad has some limits, by not having the full engine capacity to integrate a Massing modelling ( Morph Tools ) within the BIM culture. The model can look nice but the Plans are never reflecting the model and never updated. And for me this is a limit. While a massing in Revit can be easily be updated in the plans and sections. Anyway this a personal experience and i hope i am wrong. Thanks

    Hello, mr Balkan. I prefer Revit. Because I'm scan-to-bim specialist. So I work with point clouds, and Revit is wayyy more optimised to work with point cloud than ArchiCAD. Yes, it's difficult to learn Revit, especially at the beginning, but after you understand the way it works, definetely it's a good tool to model projects from point clouds.

    And how did you get to the conclusion that the disaster is caused by the software (Revit)? In my case, at the office we have 8-12 people on the same Archicad Server. If we work more than 4 people on one project, there are serious delays because the server is just too old. I mean in our case we are not blaming Archicad for our hardware issues (and lazy managers who just won't spend any money on a new server). I think you should call a server engineer and a Revit tehnincian in order to solve your problems which I think are more of hardware and workflow than software.

Now lets talk about IFC quality when exported from Archicad and Revit and read into Solibri: Archicad does great, Revit bug sometimes. Why?

(1,5 years) . main difference imo. archicad can import almost every file format, revit cant (pdf verctorisation not possible etc) archicad can export almost every file format, revit cant rendering is WAY BETTER with the cinerender than revit. having 2d and 3d drafting possibilities in archicad ist worrh GOLD and much better than in revit (worksheets / blueprints( i know revit has it too, but works smoother) revit is very good but i just miss some features of archicad in it. revit is lacking on some crucial points to be better than Archicad. if you have archicad you dont need illustrator, Photoshop, or indesign. wich is a huuuuuge benifit.

    Huge thing about student license is that archicad projects that get made with student license cannot be opened with a full license, only a student one. So I have friends that made their final project using a student license and later on payed for the program and wanted to use their project on their portfolio and was a pain to access it...

    In you're video you compare a lot of things but glance over one if the most important things. In order to work in a good BIM workflow on a project the proper and easy way of generating correct IFC files is vital. As you say both can work with IFC but it takes so much more effort to create it from revit. Archicad is almost works natively with IFC parameters, which results in a smooth import and export. In many countries it is mandatory to deliver proper IFC files, thats why this is so important. In that department archicad is superior. All the other features you mention depend on the philosphy and the office and how designers and engineers prefer to work, both are great for each task. I think good BIM shouldn't depend on the software of one company, thats why Open BIM is so important. Lets keep developers revit, archicad, allplan, vectorworks and so many more focussed on an open workflow as users. Interact with them, let them know what is important to us users.

    i used archicad after being a revit user for 5 years , it was very enjoyable to how easy archicad can be specifically to how fast its the archicad blocks can be manipulated from inside the project no hassle needed , for small uncomplex projects archicad is a clear winner , but after a while i started meeting its limitation and the work around i had to do to get over some of the things revit does faster and easier so i immediately went back to revit , in my opinion the parameters and options revit gives you to control your project are uncompelled by any other architecture program . overall revit is just a better BIM program .

    Maybe it's less and less relevant in a BIM world, but at our office the deliverables are still traditional technical drawings, and i've found the management of sheets and model views ridiculously overcomplicated and inefficient in Revit. You can't place a view on several sheets, you can't align the views without the help of a grid (still no Osnaps), can't link data from external files, can't really format your content to any acceptable degree. This aspect was not even mentioned in the video, but if your workflow includes traditional printed plans, it is a real everyday hassle in Revit. If you want to make pretty layouts for a presentation for your clients or even for an architectural competition, you can absolutely do that in ArchiCAD and you absolutely can't do that in Revit. Correct me if I'm wrong, these are my experiences with Revit2016.

    ambrus kiss Thats good to know. Im an expert Revit user, and I always thought that this was a problem for Revit, you cant really do much with the layouts of sheets, or even with schedules, not many customizing options. Im currently learning Archicad, so you could say its a bit more friendly in that area? Thanks.

    I think paper space in AC is much like a model space with 2D elements (and that's just not true for Revit). You can for example explode any 2D or 3D view into actual paper space elements like lines and hatches, and make really nice custom graphics out of your 3D model. Now that's what I call customizable in an architectural context. All you can do in Revit is changing the display properties of your actual 3D elements (which is also quite powerful in itself). In this aspect AC is a very good visualisation tool for architects, where Revit is rather a standardised tool for engineers without high visual expectations.

    I tried both. Archicad becomes unbearably slow when working on a bigger project or when dealing with a complex shape. Try modeling the same complex shape in both softwares and the difference becomes really clear. It is awfull when working with meshes, modifying them is a nightmare or when modeling custom shapes, etc.... For me the Archicad is a looser.

    I know that ARCHICAD is many time better of Revit...but why (here in Italy) every studios requests Revit and no-one Archicad? Second consideration, Archicad is better as single program for a project. But I think that if you add Revit + Inventor + Vault you can manage every single question of a project from concept to executive.

    My first software in Architecture was SketchUp. I was very happy with it, but I wasn't able to do "real projects" with SketchUp. Because of this, I migrated to Archicad+Rhino+Grasshopper. that was an amazing combination. after 3 years, I joined a great team as an interior designer/modeler (I work with 3Ds Max as well). The main software of the team was Revit. I tried Revit for first time there and I surprised! after that, I learned Revit and other Autodesk Architectural and Civil softwares such as Civil3d and Advance Steel (I knew Autocad) as well as Infraworks. Now I work on large scale projects. but I always say small projects are more interesting. You can use every software you want, Revit, Archicad, SketchUp, Rhino, 3Ds Max, Vectorworks, Cheif Architect, FormZ and so on. But if you want to work on "real projects" go for Revit or Archicad. In large scale projects, Revit (Autodesk platform) is way to go. Good luck.

    I use Revit since Version 2.1 , I think in 2002 approx. I tried Archicad in those days as well, I choose Revit since then because is more intuitive. I recently was looking Tutorials of Archicad to compare. I have seen how is done structural connections and unique shapes of Beams. But seem to be done one by one in the Project rather than an element type (Family). My question is, if an structural connection is designed in the project as a unique thing. Is there a way in archicad to convert other beams and other columns the same type? Is possible to apply the same detail globally? I don't know if I explained my self. The tutorial I have seen brags how easy was to customize the beam and column to detail a connection but I did not see they can convert it in to a global solution or multiple instances. I wonder if is even possible. So far I like Revit much better. Less steps to do things.

    I am learning Revit and find it so slow and tedious. Archicad seems to have all the libraries in visual format, and looks like you can update sizes, configurations all in one go, rather than in Revit where you have to collect or build a whole bunch of different components to choose from. And detailing! Very stuck with creating thin roof eaves in Revit...Grrrrr!

    You cant learn things fast unless you put heart to it. I used revit for many years and managed to do hundred thousand dollars of project. It just works and faster than Autocad. The only thing revit weak is interior designing which takes long time and i rather use alternate like Lumion colab with revit. So far i have no problem with that combo

    Archicad is the way to go especially for an architectural firm who does small scale projects like residential projects. Archicad is more flexible and with its direct export to sketchup, it makes it easier to collaborate with other software such as lumion whereas revit needs a whole plugin installed just to export to sketchup or lumion. One thing that I wish Archicad did have is the temporary floating dimensions when you select an element and also the family creation side of revit.

Capable using so many software such Archicad, Revit, 3ds Vray/corona/etc, lumion, unreal enginge, etc giving me huge advantages and make me get projects easily.. that was my experience. but maybe others have another perspective about this
