ArchCAD and 3Dmodeling

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone.
I´m not sure that this is the right place for this question. If hot just let me know.
I work as a Interior Archtect and have´t desided exactly which programs to use in the future. The office that I work at right now is using ArchiCAD and for me it´s a completely new program but it´s getting better and better.
The question that I realy woud like to get more knowledge about is ArchiCAD together with a 3D mudulating program. As said before I´m in to interior and tha means allot of furniture and productdesign thats why i woud like to be convinced about what program to ad to ArchiCAD for example MaxonForm or Cinema4D. If some one is in to the same business and have experience plaese let me know. Otherwise I´ll might go back to Autocad, and that you wouldn´t like, I guess.

Best regards.

Hej Carl,
Drop by our office in Solna or give us a call and we'll put you in contact with the Maxon/C4D/AC users close to you.
Basically if you want total freedom, only a dedicated 3D modeler will make you happy for those specific objects. C4D+ArchiCAD lets you do everything. CAD-programs can't do free-form modeling... This is a black and white question...either the program can do it all or it can't!
That said we have many interior architects totally happy with plain ArchiCAD.

Since you do interior architecture you need a tool for the bulk work(AC is Formula-1 for this). When you want to do organic design, C4D is the right choice.
Ooops...already late friday night. Maybe Let's dance is ready so I can borrow the TV for a while.
Ha det gott,
Mats

Hej Mats (kanske Knutsson) på Lasercad.
Nu sitter du ju på ett företag som målmedvetet jobbar mer min fråga men skulle du ha möjlighet att demonstrera lite resultat på de programkombinationer du anser lämpliga för mig om du uppfattat mitt behov rätt.
Viktigt är att 3D-moduleringen inte kommer vid sidan av ArchiCAD utan integreras, samtidigt som jag vill kunna modulera på en högre nivå än vad jag kanske för över till projektet i AC, vilket ju oftast rör sig om biblioteksobjekt.

Tack!
