dear lirizen
revit is powerful...yes it is...
but "nedd to do lots of detail drafting work"...i dont agree...so this was what your were already doing in AUTO CAD...but i would rather say...less drafting work needed in REVIT...for steel works its very easy even than concrete work...because in concrete you have to model rebars and get volume of concrete ...difficult task to model all bars...so anyway..but in steel there is no rebar so its a single step in REVIT SCHEDULE to get the volume and weight of steel members...unlike concrete members...
you just place a W section in model and there in schedule it automatically calculates the values required...or you can go to schedule and change the depth etc of member and in turn it changes in model....so see no "lot of drafting" needed...rather less drafting work required...
