Lab-6 Which Version(s) of Revit

Question:

I went to the student site to download the software Revit.  While I was on the site i noticed a couple of different Revit programs.  After reading through the lab assignment for CAEE 201, you said to download the Revit Architecture 2012 software, but as an architectural engineering student, would it be wise for me to also download Revit Structure 2012?  Or, is it either too similar to the architecture version or completely unrelated to what I need that it's not worth it?

 

Answer:

If you pursue structural or mechanical engineering within AE you’ll want those programs too. At the moment they’re overkill. Since there’s a new version each year it’s probably not worth getting them till you’ll actually be using them.

Each builds upon a model begun in Revit Architecture and adds features that are unique to those disciplines.
