Use of Revit for detailed piping design

[yama21250]

We currently use AutoCAD Plant 3D for our piping design projects. There has been a big push to get our company to start using Revit a lot more for our other mechanical systems. It has also mentioned that we could start using Revit for our larger industrial piping projects. Does anyone have insight into if this is a good or bad idea?

run far far far away from revit

it is terrible, but then again so is Autocad.

I would use ProE and make a few generic parts with full family tables and even a huge assembly will go fast. If you cant go ProE you can do something similar with Solidworks and configuration, but I like the PTC family table implementation much better.

Gotta love automatically generated/updated BOMs in modern CAD systems.
