REVIT AS A SALES TOOL

                       As designers, we sometimes tend to forget that others either cannot, or do not, see our vision.  Customers look to us to create their final vision.  This is not an easy task; if it were, everyone would be a designer.  The often overlooked visual representation tools afforded by Revit can be the perfect sales tool.  It may take a bit more effort on the front end to create a conceptual model for a serious customer, but what better representation of your proposal than a model showing exactly what you are proposing? 


                 The amount of time spent on the model is up to each designer, but the ability to show a rendered photograph of the finished product or even a walkthrough video will always tell more than any conversation can.  The beauty of Revit is this: When you create a conceptual model, you have already started a working model.  No more will you have to take a SketchUp model and recreate it in Revit; the conceptual model will take its place.  No more will you have to convert a hand sketch to a model. That task has been eliminated and you may have gained a sale because of it.
