Software: Revit or AutoCAD?

There are many architecture programs for the computer out there in the web marketplace. What is the overall best one for it's value? Well, to tell you the truth, I've had experience with AutoCAD and Revit Architecture. Out of those two programs, Revit is the simplest to use. AutoCAD has a lot of different features but it can be confusing for a beginner with very little experience. There are, however, schools that have courses in order to get you AutoCAD certified, which is a plus for any architect and/or graphics designer.

Revit Architecture's features are very easy to use. I mean, you still need to know the basics, but it is simpler than AutoCAD. Revit has the feature of adding different camera angles to your final render. You can take pictures and render the image from different angles. You are even allowed to make a video clip of your design. I once designed a house and made a video clip of the inside, to visualize how it would look walking from room to room.

Visit the Revit Architecture website HERE and find more information about it. If you want to learn about AutoCAD click HERE. I mean, which ever one you use, they will both be a benefit to your career.

God Bless!

p.s. If you've had experience with either of the programs mentioned here or any other software, drop me a comment. How did you use it? Was it beneficial for your area of work? Would you recommend it to anyone?
