Creating a “playground” model to try different iterations of a building,… it was never meant to see the light of day. The Team used it to start the collaborative model. Clean up was a nightmare, and would have been easier to draw it again without all the junk… All for the sake of “not redrawing” and “saving time”.

Setting up and building a beautiful job just to have engineers go behind me and wreck it with poor modeling practices.

Well in fairness Revit is a movement driven by the architectural firms in creating a 3D atmosphere that is supposed to be collaborative. The fault lies in that when engineers shouldn't have to work in a 3d atmosphere for majority of things (it's more analysis than to scale).
Example: architects care about location of receptacle whereas electrical engineers care about the quantity and positioning of them.

Feedback on this Alpine A110: don’t buy one for more than 40k€. Rather go for an F-Type, a Boxster or an M2.

I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?
