None.

Same for me.

Some of my clients use them, but only carefully selected to do something they really need or use a lot. The upkeep on them is a bit high for occasional use purposes.

We do most of what we need with custom library parts.

Agree with the last two posts 100% but could not resist:
Objective

and had to get Key Notes because there is no equivalent and Archistair since can not deal with Stair Maker.

on a regular basis:

cadimage door and window builder. because the GS doors and windows are rubbish.

cadimage wall/roof/slab/foundation builder. because they provide an extra level of detail - not to mention a far greater intelligence - than anything GS's complex profiles can provide.

cigraph's architerra. because GS's "site tools" consist of one - limited - mesh tool...
... combined with cadimage's site and massing tools. to create NZ specific building envelopes and boundary data.

cadimage's stairbuilder and cigraph's archistair. because whilst none of them can boast the best stair tool in the world award, they knock socks off of GS's stairmaker.

on a less regular basis (i.e. just playing around)
cadimage's framing tool. because it's great!

cadimage's revision manager. because it's indispensable . . . but i need to convince the office to invest throughout before i will be using it on a regular basis.

Cadimage Door and Window Builder (never anything else)

Cadimage Accessories (wall / slab / roof) but not as much as I probably should.

Cadimage Stairbuilder (has it's problems too, but like ~Ben says its better than the standard stair tool)

Cadimage Site and Massing tools when needed

Note that these all come free with the NZ package, we don't pay extra for them (not directly anyway) but would still recommend, esp. DWB.

Cigraph as needed and ArchiGlazing very occasionally.

Pretty much brand new AC user here but I'm working on getting things set up for projects now - what about the GS doors and windows have you found to be rubbish-y and what benefits does the cadimage tool have?

I ask because I don't want to spend loads of time setting up the default doors and windows then finding them too limited but neither do I want to purchase additional software if it's really not needed.

thanks!
