The Twelve Steps of CAD users Anonymous

1. We admitted we were powerless with CAD—that our projects had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than CAD could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our work over to the care of Revit as we understood BIM.
4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our construction details.
5. Admitted to our Clients, to ourselves, and to our employers the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have Revit remove all these defects of our documents.
7. Humbly asked BIM to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all clients we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them through our attorney.
9. Made direct amends to such clients wherever possible, except when otherwise advised by our attorney.
10. Continued to take a detail inventory and when we were wrong promptly downloaded another detail.
11. Sought through prayer and tutorials to improve our use of Revit as we understood BIM, praying only for knowledge and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other CAD users, and to practice these principles in all our projects.
