This feeling has now been taken up by the Nordic Architectural Associations.

Having seen Autodesk spend billions on acquiring PDF document distribution services for Autodesk Construction Cloud, the lack of development of Revit, given the huge income from Autodesk’s AEC Suites, deeply concerned them.įrom talking to many IT design directors involved in the last two years of talks, they feel their investment in Revit could now be a dead end. They went through the exact same process as the ‘Open Letter’ group and were demanding core-level changes or a complete re-write of the twenty year old Revit code. Simultaneously, another group of 10+ globally renowned ‘signature’ architects approached Autodesk without an open letter but with a similar list of gripes and were also engaged in talks with the Revit team. Some complaints were ignored completely.įurther reading: Two years on from the original “Open Letter to Autodesk” how well do the signatories feel Autodesk has done in meeting their requests? The enhancements delivered were the low-hanging fruit. However, the firms complaining were mature customers who wanted fundamental core improvements like multi-core CPU support and improved reliability. The Revit team started hiring programmers and, in the last release a load of features were enhanced or added, addressing issues which had been outstanding for years. The Open Letter resulted in some changes. The support from the Architects Council of Europe escalates the issue to the size of tectonic plates. This new ‘open letter’ comes from associations representing entire countries. The first ‘open letter’ came from customers, mainly in the UK. The Open Letter generated a lot of global coverage and Autodesk agreed to engage with the letter writers to have a listening session with the executive team and then, over the subsequent two years on going, occasional engagement with the Revit development team. In the end over 200 firms got board-level approval to sign, as well as one huge construction association which covered Brazil. The Letter was put online and any firm that agreed with the contents could sign.

Two years ago, 25 firms based in the UK and Australia, released an Open Letter to Autodesk highlighting their frustrations with years of lacklustre development of Revit, Autodesk’s changing license models, increased costs, punitive non-compliance business practices and a lack of interoperability between Autodesk’s own applications and poor support for IFC. The letter comes with a supporting message from the Architects Council of Europe - a body composed of 43 representative organisations based in the EU, Switzerland and Norway, representing over 600,000 architects. There has been a new Open Letter to Autodesk, this time from the Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Icelandic Architectural Associations, which represent 14,000 architects. A new open letter from Nordic Architectural Associations says nothing has changed In 2020 several leading UK and international AEC firms wrote an open letter to Autodesk CEO, Andrew Anagnost, highlighting a range of deep concerns with Revit, Suites, costs, licensing & business practices.
