We are considering having moving parts in different areas (moving walls, kitchen bench turning into dinning table etc).<BR /> <BR /> The outcome would be 2D drawings as well as 3D renders, 3D printing and possibly an animation. <BR /> <BR /> I know Archicad is great for modeling but when it comes to costume made objects, it could be a bit stiff. We are considering sketch up or Revit and are open to other suggestions...<BR /> <BR /> Which software would you guys recommend? <BR /> <BR /> Thanks so much <BR /> <BR /> <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_wink.gif" style="display : inline;" /></R></DIV> Mon, 22 Jan 2018 04:05:04 GMT Anonymous 2018-01-22T04:05:04Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Flexible-Moving-kitchen/m-p/260310#M34060 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><R>Hello<BR /> <BR /> We have been commissioned to develop "the most innovative and smart layout for an apartment".

Will keep you updated on how it goes!<BR /> <BR /> Cheers <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_smile.gif" style="display : inline;" /> Thu, 25 Jan 2018 04:13:10 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Flexible-Moving-kitchen/m-p/260314#M34064 Anonymous 2018-01-25T04:13:10Z
