Did you think the REVIT MEP will end the era of Auto Cad predominant?

As all we know the Revit can help the designer to start working among4 or5 axis while in Autocad it is just two axis

I think it is too early to comment on this but surely Revit has very easy & efficient way of doing things. It takes a lesser time to prepare sheets but requires skilled effort not just lazy drafting. So in future I believe a Civil / Structural engineer will do both design & drafting to avoid time loss due to prepare mark ups & rechecking everything after its drawn. What do you think?

Revit's ultimate acceptance as a dominant architectural software is far from assured because the whole notion of BIM as previously defined is in conflict with existing processes and organizational structure of design firms. The industry is fractured and design firms may not be benefiting enough from transition to BIM while construction firms are not enlighten enough to force the transition and pay for it. Possibly it would take a socioeconomic change for BIM to become an widely accepted standard. Meanwhile drafting (and hyper-drafting) will continue to exist and improve.

If could create all the needed families that simulate your own model perfectly, and if you was enabled to use all the features Of Revit you will use Autocad only for sharing your design and model with people that don't know how to operate Revit.

The coming era for BIM.

But Auto cad have its on user friendly drafting work space than Revit.
