Have you tried Architectural Desktop? |
Architectural Desktop is AutoCAD Architecture, just the previous name for it.
Also, Revit is by no means better than AutoCAD at all, it's just a different way of doing things. Definitely better for those of us who think better in 3D than in 2D. |

autocad was a in mess. hate that program. the new 2009 is more user friendly with that ribbon like office 2007. i might start using it more now although i'm determined to not waste my summer this year and learn revit.
right now however, i'm a sketchup addict. nothing better than this program to do prelimernary designs. quick. easy. simple. and you can import the models into revit which saves a load of time.
ps. has anyone used photoCAD? ;) |

I used CAD since Ver12 & I still use it daily even though I am a Project Architect. (It dont matter what you do as longest you do what you got to do.)
Maya is awesome for renderings. (the best in my opinion)
Revit is cool but I can live without it too.
PS. This thread is really very intelligent.
:rolleyes: |
Architects draw, think, solve, communicate, NOT CAD. Those are done by CAD monkeys, like yourself. |

You my friend are on the way to being an architect. Leave the CAD work to the monkeys. Use that brain to think and design. I've heard Sketchup is wicked. I should try it out. |

I'm sure you know alot about the structure of a building given your trade, but unless you spend 4 years learning EVERY aspect of the function and design of a building, you have NO argument.

I have 8+ years of experience in brick laying and have perfected the art of brick laying... so let's not even argue :cool: :clown: What do you think is more complex, using a single glass piece as the wall like in most modern buildings, or the traditional way using brick, which require a whole set of layers/barriers within that single wall. |

Yes I will dude. Didn't mean to seriously piss any of you off. Just wanted to let it out, and shake things up a bit... get some dialogue going. You know what I mean. I've had enough b.s from people who think they're better than the others just cause they have the title, go to Uni or have a paper.
Here is something for all you future architects to contemplate about; words from my mentor, past colleague and favourite architect, Peter Gluck. ;)
Gluck’s harshest words are aimed at the masochistic educational and professional system that trains architects to speak like idiots but fails to train them to build. “It usually takes them a year before, all of a sudden, their verbose language disappears,” he says. “After they’ve been in the office for a year, they don’t talk so much anymore. It’s either there or it isn’t there. It isn’t that there aren’t narratives to our buildings, but the buildings either express what we’re trying to do or they don’t. So the learning part of it is frustrating because I wish people had the knowledge to start with, but they don’t.” |

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. |
