Why anyone would actually choose to use this program over AutoCAD is beyond me especially as drawing 3d architecture is just plain ridiculous IMO!!
I mean does anyone here actually draw architecture in 3d? Because I find the 3d library so limiting in terms of my design wishes. What do I do if I want a certain glass staircase or somethign else that isnt in the library? Surely not design a new 3d model of it!?
And how can you draw a site using different levels, manholes, car spaces, drives etc all at different levels in 3d?
This whole fascination with 3d in architectrure really loses me - I just dont see the point in it and it definitely limits your design ability to waht is in the software.
Give me AutoCAD anytime!!
Anyone with any argument for using it? Please only respond if you are someone who isnt just doing houses or venacular buildings but 'proper' architecture!

Gary Bley: Remember, we will never be just ArchiCAD users. We will always be recovering AutoCAD users.heh, this reminds me of my
& Nats, you're right, it is a waste of bandwidth. so let's start another thread that may be aimed towards something more fruitful & positive. Not really problem solving, but experience sharing. what say?
