So if you want to model furniture, as I used to do in VectorWorks, it's great. But if you need to produce CDs for a high end residence you're better off with AutoCad, and much better off with ArchiCAD. <BR /> <BR /> But the issue here is not so much bang for the buck or how good or not VectorWorks itself is. Rather it's the fact that a moderately priced CAD package can have a better rendering engine than a high-end BIM application.
