Autodesk responds to Revit criticism
Autodesk has issued a public statement following the publication of an open letter signed by a constellation of BIM-forward architecture firms decrying the lack of development and rising costs of using Autodesk Revit. Earlier this week, firms that include Zaha Hadid Architects, Grimshaw, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, and at least a dozen others published an unprecidented open letter speaking out against the maker of the industry standard BIM software. In their letter, the firms speak out against the increasingly difficult task of utilizing Revit to pursue design innovation in the face of advancing production and fabrication capabilities while also highlighting the fact that the software's constantly changing fee structure has forced firms that rely on the software to endure additional costs with little added benefit to their work or employees.
