Looking to make a switch from Autocad to Revit, does anyone have experience with Revit LT. This is mainly for residential and small commercial projects. The cost of LT is much less and a good starting point to get acquainted with the program before jumping in to a full version.
Revit LT will work for residential and small commercial (I started with it), but it does not allow plug-ins. Once I grew up, I had to switch to full Revit.
Yeah, but if you want to use Enscape, pyRevit, or other plug-ins you will have to upgrade. For example, our workflow includes Rhino, so the Rhino inside Revit plug-in is valuable, just like Enscape for our rendering, Specpoint for specs, etc...
I use LT professionally for side work. and the full version in the office. the main thing I find it lacks, other than plugins is the ability to model components in place, which I use a lot for quick SD work. But you find ways around it and can model similarly in the family editing functionality.
IMO its a good deal for what you get.

Thank you, but its fully functional, I can learn with it and ge a set of drawings together without issue?
