Dwight/Richard,
Out of curiosity, what does a '3d hidden wireframe axonometric' look like and how does if differ from a standard hidden line or wireframe? What do the Special Menu options you mention actually do?

If school time is finite and time consuming computer skills need to be acquired, what other learning are they missing?
Anybody?

Becoming an Architect should be the natural evolution of a Builder, not a carrier for fashion consultant/designers who want to use buildings as just another art form of self expression.
Design school should come after you know what it means to bring a building into the world, not before.
If you want to be an Architect, quit school and become a builder first, master a CAD program like ArchiCAD and then go to school when you have some experience to hang your education on and a way to earn your way through school.
I think Doctors should have to prove themselves as competent nurses before they go to medical school, and Presidents should have experience as Governors first also.
Obviously the majority of people do not agree with me about this kind of approach.
I take some consolation in what Churchill said. “The majority is seldom right about anything”.
