Thread: What version of Revit does your office use?

Hi,
I am currently learning Revit 2010 and trying to figure out if I need to switch to 2011 right away.

Let me know what version you are using. If you are upgrading in the very near future, say within two months vote for that version as opposed to your current.

Thanks!

Seeing as how everyone is valuing their ADesk subscriptions, I would say you want to upgrade as soon as you can. However, you're not having to relearn the software. Most of the UI changes are rather intuitive.

We generally have been keeping each project in the version in which it was started, unless it's a very simple project. We haven't started any new projects since 2011 came out, but once we do, we'll probably use it.

Where's the option for all 3? We have projects in 2009, 2010, and 2011.

And for people wondering if they should go to 2011 from 2010, my users are stating a night and day difference in performance and stability in 2011 vs 2010. So much so that we are probably going to upgrade all 2010 projects to 2011 very soon.

we skipped 2010 because it was so awful, and are now considering 2011, but would need to upgrade some workstations first. so the majority of work is still done on 2009

For me I go ahead upgrade existing projects to the newest release unless I am working with other firms that need to continue working in an older one. IMO each release adds enough productivity enhancements, I see no reason to wait. 2011 is no exception I am finding small things everyday (that is in addition to the published changes) that just make my life as an architect easier and help me to produce better projects for my clients.

Agreed, night and day, like Vista and Windows 7. Not many enjoyed Vista (2010), but everyone's jumping on Windows 7 (2011) like Vista's the Titanic

Were getting everyone and every project in to 2011 as soon as circumstances allow. IT having time to install and consultants lagging behind are the only holdups at the moment.

We generally try to upgrade all projects to the new version, usually right after the deadline following the new version release. Given the performance boost and fixes to the UI I don't see any reason not to upgrade as soon as possible. That and Electrical Engineers can probably be induced to bribe you with fine scotch if that is what it takes to get a project into 2011 ASAP.

Using 2009, but will be upgrading to 2011 shortly, now that the drunken leprechaun has sobered somewhat, and with the performance gains reported in 2011.
