Revit vs Plant 3D

Unread post by ctsturdiv »

Had a good email exchange with the department head about going forward.

It appears 4th and final semester, I have a choice between Plant 3D and Revit.

Revit, I have been told by various engineers in my outer social circle is the more valuable program. One is a chemical engineer at a plastics plant, other one I believe does civil, another does forensic type freelancing along with some maritime (that guy was actually on TV as he was one of the guys that signed off on a scathing report on the Titanic sub before it went into service).

I know I still have time to think on this, and there's a ton of plants in my area.

Anyone have insights into this choice?

Thanks!

Go with Revit, I've never heard of Plant 3D.

Plant 3D is an extension of AutoCAD. Instructor says it is used in a lot of oil and gas and various chemical plants in the area. For example: BASF, Exxon.

But still, I am with you. Almost everyone I have talked to in my extended circle say Revit.
