"Autodesk has tabled a variety of initiatives for the next generation of tool(s) to replace Revit, but failed to prioritise investment and failed to communicate the roadmap for the delivery of a viable platform to users," said the letter. The studios were also critical of Autodesk's failure to communicate a timescale for replacing Revit and called upon the company to create a plan to improve the software and stabilise prices.

"Project productivity in architectural and engineering practices is hit daily"Īccording to the studios, the lack of development means that Revit, which was first launched in 2000, can not handle functions that are required meaning that productivity is impacted. "Practices would be less worried by these cost increases if they were mirrored by productivity improvements and a progressive software development program." "Overall, those surveyed have seen costs increase up to 70 per cent and beyond to the end of 2019," it continued. "In the period between 20 most practices who participated in the survey have had at least five different licence models in play, moving from individual product licences to suites, through to collections and now, in 2020 to individual user licences," said the letter. ![]() The studios report that while the amount they are spending on the 3D modelling software, which is a key design tool for a large number of architecture studios, has risen steeply over the past five years the product has not been developed at the same rate.
