It's time that I finally put something out there because god dammit, I need to vent when it comes to using Autodesk products, specifically Revit. The Autodesk Revit team seems to think that we the users (Architects, Engineers and others in the design field) ought to know programming language and software development at the level that they do (...or don't. I haven't figured it out yet). They seem to think that we don't want to be in our actual professions and would rather trouble shoot their software all day. I'm sorry but I hate Revit and the people on their team. I'm not usually a hater. Revit made me a hater over time, again and again and it gets worse every day. They promise a battleship and instead give you only some of the parts, a few rivets and a welding torch with no direction at all and tell you, "Its the best thing out there. Look at what we did with it! Oh, but you're going to have to figure everything out on your own. And we kinda didn't use the program at all to make the nifty graphic on the cover so that won't help you either. Did you try looking on line? We don't know how to explain our software very well. In fact we don't actually write software any more. We just buy companies, market them as our new product line and then let them fester for decades at the edge of possibly being useful." So instead, the user ends up with some half-assed pile of a garbage barge because that's all the Revit dock would allow him build. They also forgot a few things along the way like the fact the boats are supposed to float or that the materials taken from the ground need to be forged before anyone can use them as steel. If I didn't get into bullshit "workaround" or zero solution scenario every fucking day with this $1500 program I might not be such a hater. More to come but for now I'd just like to say that...
REVIT SUCKS BALLS.
