I guess in 2003/4 when they were developing Civil 3D it was decided that the civil industry didn't want or would buy BIM so the product is being primarily developed as an improvement to LandDesktop.Christopher Fugitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08752969412509715827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25214213.post-46177116052389747242011-10-19T11:06:09.934-07:002011-10-19T11:06:09.934-07:00speaking of revit (or Tekla or ArchiCAD or SketchU...speaking of revit (or Tekla or ArchiCAD or SketchUp) - can revit be the source of concrete structural and flat work, then integrate the two tools? If one is good for A and another is good for B, then why try to create AB and not just use A+B. :) A quick review of forum threads shows that C3D and Revit do not communicate very well; makes sense since Revit was purchased and not developed in-house - not sure about C3D origins, maybe it was also purchased. Combining C3D and Revit files in navisworks or any other 4D application is not a problem but also does not allow quality analysis native to each product. Last, revit supports the ifc standard, if C3D supported the ifc standard then maybe there is the VDC (aka BIM) solution.
