Open Letter to Autodesk 2022: The Saga Continues

In this video I summarize the updated situation around Open Letter to Autodesk. This letter was originally sent to Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost in summer 2020 by 17 large architectural firms complaining about situation with Autodesk software for AEC, especially Revit. These firms included such firms as Zaha Hadid Architects, Aukett Swanke, Grimshaw, Wilkinson Eyre Architects and many others. Andrew Anagnost and SVP for Design & Creation product Amy Bunszel responded to the criticism.
Now after two years, update to the original letter has been released. In addition, another open letter was sent to Andre Anagnost by national bodies representing architects in Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland.

Revit is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) software.

I am waiting for an open source BIM software desperately.

Well, that would be ideal solution. But we are far from that in the AEC industry. There is FreeCAD Arch and also Blender BIM, but none of those are even close to being able to use them in production. But hopefully with time and with current growing OpenBIM initiative it will get better. It is very impressive what Ton Roosendaal was able to create with Blender - a free open source software which is fully competitive to the most expensive industry leaders.
