Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The time savings alone makes it worth it. It's so easy to use and the output is consistent for every project.
  • No pros at all. I could redline it faster than this software

Cons

  • Nothing that I can think of, but more of a feature request. I wish the Revit integration would drive keynotes back into the model. I understand why it's not setup this way, but it would be great consider this for any future updates.
  • Doesn't Spell Check even the word Architect Formatting is so basic I have to clean up afterword to make it look decent Have to wait forever for it to update before exporting Just plain inferior to MasterSpec
