I don't like using Revit at all, but by the time they have 10 years experience with Revit it is likely to be a better choice than ArchiCAD. In two or three years time I am sure I could be very good at using any of them.įor someone just starting out, I would recommend Revit. It's all subjective opinion if one program is better for someone than for someone else.įor myself I still choose ArchiCAD and I am free to use any program I want. It's not a matter of 'can it be done' but the effort.'įor all I know, you are just not aware that ArchiCAD can do things very well witch you think other programs can do better.Īnd how would Jack know that? He doesn't. i am aware of the effort & time to produce the same in ArchiCad vs other programs.'Īre you? Or are you just unaware of how to do it better in ArchiCAD ? Things that are not even possible in programs like CA and SP which are not BIM software. It's being modeled for more uses than I care to list. This isn't all being done primarily for the sake of a materials list either, as it would be with some of the other programs. And it is unique enough in so many ways that there is no 'residential program' that can do what I am doing with ArchiCAD in 'a couple of clicks'. Columns, beams, roofs, slabs, walls, complex profiles, standard library parts, a little SEO, not even any accessory tools. The model shown is entirely regular ArchiCAD elements.

'without resorting to objects and/or property programing, and without too much training' ? I am not posting the picture to impress anyone, I am posting a picture I had quick access to as an example for Jackreese108, to show him that ArchiCAD has the potential to be as good as any program for making framing models, framing plans, framing diagrams, schedules.

I could be wrong, but I think he is just beginning to explore what making Construction Documents is all about. I think Jackreese108 would need many hours of training for each of those program demos to even know how to compare them. I strongly suggest that the poster obtain a demo of Archicad and make the direct comparisons himself. It's not a matter of 'can it be done' but the effort. The view posted can be done with a few clicks in residential programs with a complete listing and summaries of all elements without resorting to objects and/or property programing, and without too much training - not impressed if that was you point as i am aware of the effort & time to produce the same in Archicad vs other programs. Or the degree of training required in comparison. More a matter of familiarity and experience with the programs. I think this is a matter of skill with the program not it's functionality.Įveryone is entitled but I disagree (mostly) that it's a matter of skill here.
