Watermark. If u edit any files with the student version, the file will be permanently watermark, even if u use original software to open the file after that.

when i print using ori 2014 LT version the watermark didnt come out tho
but when transfer back to other full version CAD the watermark still there

also transferring even a line from the edu version to the full version would make the file to have the watermark

If student use pirated software to learn then its OK for me la.

But a lot architect boss all drive Ferrari or Lamborghini, 1 project get millions millions but use pirate software.

Most big architecture firms in malaysia and those with partners in singapore are already using BIM since the last 5 years. DBKL and JKR now have their own BIM group who're responsible to push the industry to adopt BIM, but they're still new.

UTM architecture programme fully equips students with BIM authoring skills using revit with climatic simulations. Some of the big architecture schools are also adopting revit as well.

Im a Revit instructor and was responsible of implementing BIM syllabus into the architecture curriculum.

nice

tho next time i cari makan susah d since i dunno BIM

Most people with 3d background find revit a bit harder to learn. But i attribute it to their perspective of treating it like another 3D modelling software. It's not.

So for those without 3D background, i recommend learnin this straightaway and skip sketchup!

what about from CAD 2D background and 3dMax user?

how extensive is ur 3d background? basic 3D will help u understand the model. but the biggest difference is the workflow. revit is very profession-centric. meaning revit architecture is tuned to how architects work, while revit structure is tuned to structural engineers. if u're neither of those, then working in that environment can be counter-intuitive. i tried learning revit MEP, but i just dont understand why this has to come after that and not before, because that's how mechanical engineers sort out their business.

everybody will work in 3D. but the workflow is unique to their profession.

Some architects in malaysia use Revit because their Singapore consultants use Revit, but I won't call it BIM. U can have your 4D,5D or even 6D revit model but if the Developers and Main Contractors are not practising BIM, then the model is useless or what I call a very expensive clash detection model haha.

One of the reason why only 1 company in malaysia successfully implement BIM. Because the main con, architect, MEP engineer, structural engineer all under 1 umbrella company.

Best belajar during sekolah teknik years

And yes 1 license enough to make my school fund runs dry

0 in autocad 3d
basic to intermediate in 3dmax
0 in sketchup

agreed. our main weakness as compared to singapore is BIM in malaysia is not coming from the top. in singapore, they made it the industry regulation to use BIM for all projects, and those without it will greatly suffer.

so far most firms i visited as part of students' industrial placement use revit as BIM authoring only, but not much else beyond that. even that is quite beneficial to the offices, as an architect can now work with less technical assistants, which means less people on the payroll yet the yield is higher as a project can be completed in less time.

i used to work freelance in a small group for 2 years, and it was pretty hectic, i had to drop it. but now i'm picking it up again, with a bungalow-sized projects done alone in a matter of days rather than weeks.

oklah tu. go try revit.

Revit is for creating a BIM model, revit is NOT a 3d modeling tool. You can do 3d models in AutoCAD.

When using revit, you are actually building the building inside the computer. The components of the building have its own properties. Like the wall has wall properties, the windows have window properties.

In AutoCAD u can draw a square and that square and be a wall or a floor or a window, but in revit you have to define what is that square.

Same situation over at my side. Architects mostly use it for clash detection only. That's like 10% of what BIM is capable of.

Ehhhhh. Other countries those with BIM knowledge are earning big bucks but in Malaysia this skill set is like worthless haha.

well, being revit instructor pays quite well, so i'm not complaining

i was explaining to him how people with prominent 3D background finds revit harder to learn as compared to those who dont. this is due to their comfort and familiarity of the other 3D modelling software, particularly sketchup.

Hahha we hijack this thread become revit discussion already.

Ehhhh...a lot big developer companies ask me look for people who know BIM. Maybe u can recommend people haha.
