We are cautiously rekindling the age-old debate: how are we balancing modeling software for design /visualization and performance analysis during early phase of design.
We are heavy SketchUp users for early design, and most of our staff have access to COVE tool for early performance analysis. Problem is, I’d rather use Revit to COVE workflow than SketchUp to COVE and prefer to use Rhino+ for early analysis.. We ended up modeling multiple early-stage geometries on various platforms, which is ok for some projects, but often times it becomes time consuming and inefficient. So, I am reaching out and asking you whether you would share your workflow how your firm is utilizing modeling software and analysis platforms during early design phase.
If you don’t mind sharing your thoughts, I would really appreciate it!
