Markets work in strange ways. Rarely is the very best product number one in sales at any given moment. Usually the best marketed product is number, but that is also not always the case. There are many other factors in play like who got to market first, reluctance to change even for a better product, legacy files, number of available trained personnel, and more. Revit became a leader in BIM about 10 years ago. And it is a journeyman product. But for those who want the highest productivity with the ability to make the greatest impact on building costs and sustainability, it is time to take another look at Bentley BIM with the release of AECOsim Building Designer Select Series 6. Why?
