Other students saw an opportunity to get ready for the workplace: «I used Revit for 3 years in school. These people would never design in Revit» - user chu12ch Some people never touch it, some would use it a little bit. Most students think that Revit is good for technical work, but not for design: «There are many other tools which are simpler than Revit and better fit for producing more graphical and visually stimulating drawings you are expected to produce in academia.» - user Sobieski526 «4th year undergrad student here. I loved how my university did it: teach Revit in separate BIM/construction document courses, and ban it in studios.» - user TTUporter
They did mark down projects that would use the base Revit doors, windows and railings.» - user chu12ch STUDENTS PERCEIVE REVIT AS A TECHNICAL TOOLĪ lot of students think it is an important tool, but that it should not be used in the studio: «I think education should be equal parts technical and theoretical.
Most users report professors are generally not enthusiastic of Revit in college: «The professor who runs the second year is pretty anti-Revit for her students.» - user YoStephen «Some professors strictly forbid it. Here is what they told me: PROFESSORS DON'T WANT REVIT IN THE STUDIO
I wanted to know if that was true or not, so I asked college students on Reddit to find out. Looking at resumes and portfolios of recent graduates, Rhino, Sketchup and Grasshoper are high on the skill list, but Revit is rarely even mentionned. I brought this up with friends involved in architecture schools: they told me Revit is considered "not cool" on campus. That was quite a few years ago, so things should have changed since BIM is now mainstream. When I was in college, no one used Revit.
