Rivet

article: Rivet Article
My mentor always tells me that his firm should teach this program, rivet to his employees. However, because the program is expensive and takes some time to learn the program, there is only one employee learning how to use Rivet. In this article I read, it seems that Rivet is getting popular in the engineering industry because this program can save lots of time for an engineer to work. Rivet shows the entire BIM model, a 3D image of the entire structure, and through applying the BIM model, engineers can design a building from the ground up. Another major advancement of Rivet is the usage of Autodesk QTO. Autodesk QTO not translates the 3D structures or the 2D structures and accounts what materials are needed to build these structures.

AutoCAD has also improved and can also convert 2D structures into 3D structures. However, the main difference between AutoCAD and Rivet is that Rivet is a single representation of the model of the building whereas AutoCAD, focuses on parts of a building.
