AC maybe not the best CAD, but the best for Architects.

RLC, were you an AC user before you used Revit? Why are you switching?

Always struggled with Revit, not to say we haven't been able to document with it, but designing with it was out of the question. Not interactive enough, not immediate enough..the need to spin the model around instantly. I've always worked in perspective views.

Other dumb things, like selecting a wall icon, double clicking onto it and bringing up the properties box....and beautifully graphical at that.
Other things like the way you can trace off a flat 2d drawing so easily.

If i move a wall all the joists move with it, although it doesn't warn me that the joists have been stretched 2 metres so i need to resize them.
