Any thoughts. help or recommended manuals? thanks. J

Its was pretty good for me.Only took me 3 weeks 2 master it.Only for 3d.For 2d stick 2 autocad.. If ur not happy with d renderings u can take it 2 max n render,, Other wise conventional architecture is fine in Archicad. If ur dzine's complex try Max or Maya..

James, You can find some useful ArchiCAD books here: [url]<http://cadgarage.com/archicadbooks1.html>[/url] Both the ArchiCAD Training Guide (includes CD) and the Virtual Tutor DVD are great tools for getting started.

I don't think Microstation is a better choice, and Autocad is one of the most complex monsters to learn. Better stick to the other advice given. If usen correctly, Archicad can work fine for 2D also, so this is ill founded advice as well. Mr. Nelson

I've been using it for... uhhh... around 15 years now...! (scary!!) I've taught workshops, etc... but honestly - the reason I use it is because I've ALWAYS found it to be the EASIEST to use, most direct, accurate and fast CAD package out there - bar none. The only competition I've found is Nemetschek (AllPlan) and Revit (but that still needs lots of work). You can do some pretty unusual/complex stuff with ArchiCad too...! It won't bog down like other modelers will. (and no - I don't work for them... I'm just in love with the program)    Filesize:  56.81 KB  Filename:  solarshade panel.jpg  Viewed:  283 Time(s) _________________ Jonathan Dewdney http://www.arcfoto.com
