You might struggle with Revit MEP

We’ve all heard Jeff Foxworthy’s 'you might be a redneck' jokes. Well, here is my take on it, but with Revit MEP. Although, they are not as funny, you’ll get the idea.

  • If you can't get over the fact that you can’t use the Romans.shx font in Revit, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you’ve been relying on custom LISP routines and macros for so long that you can’t function in vanilla AutoCAD, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you think Revit is “super AutoCAD”, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If it never crosses your mind to use Google or online discussion forums to help find quick solutions to technical problems, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you only put in enough effort to keep your job and no more, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If your first reaction is “No!” when someone offers an alternative, yet better way of completing a task that you’ve been performing for years, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you can’t get over the fact that your Revit drawings won’t look exactly like your AutoCAD drawings, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you don’t like change, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you can’t think for yourself, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you have no desire to learn new things, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you are not good at problem solving, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

  • If you have no knowledge of MEP design, you might struggle with Revit MEP.

      Although I don't agree with some of those points - they are all valid, this should be pointed out to CEO's who are fence sitting. You NEED to change in order to use Revit (Any version)

      Some coworkers and I just started attending a Revit class at a local college. Lesson 1: Do not expect Revit to work like AutoCAD. Do not use Revit like AutoCAD.


      Personally, I'd change the tag line to "You might not like Revit (MEP)". Those who can't get over AutoCAD seem to dislike not only Revit, but BIM in general.

      If you've got a callous on your left thumb from slapping the space bar in Autocad for a return, you're not going to like Revit MEP.
