I just posted on my BIM Manager site as I was wondering about reasons given for AEC firms not to move to BIM. Big firms are moving, but are smaller firms moving?
This is an AEC debate and may not impact your CAD environment if BIM is not a tool that addresses your needs, but I wanted to point the AEC readers over to the other site so that they could let me know what they think.
Are you moving from CAD to BIM? If not – why not? Is the marketing hype not based in reality? Have you tried it and it just didn’t work out for your firm?
If this conversation impacts you – go read the post and comment.

I’m waiting for a Civil product that provides functionality for a BIM model.

I converted our office a few years ago and Revit is pretty much all we use now. We do not have a large office anymore but it still took about a year to get everyone up to speed.
