Frederico Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Hi! Just a hint. In the last 10 years, when practicing architecture in diferent firms i've been working with both Archicad (v4.5>6) and Autocad (10>2000). And my favorite is.... Allplan. In fact i've change my software in my office about a year ago to Allplan, and i could'nt have chosen better. I't has the best of both worlds... - Parametric objects, (walls, slabs, stairs, windows, doors etc) like Archicad. - Precision in drafting - i never liked those 'hot-spots' snaps in Archicad, giving the impression that the software laked precision. - Huge library off symbols. - Great 2d and 3d tools - even better than Autocad - Fast Open-GL viewer. - And a never ending list off modules, (Paint, shadow, render, Structure calculation, etc). You build the 3d model while doing 2d architectural drawings. Then you can re-use the 3d model to work with LS, 3dstudio or Cinema4d. Works fine with me...

nisus Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Hi frederico, Can you post some models that you made with allplan? I'd love to see the results rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefkeB Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Having worked with both ArchiCAD & AutoCAD I only know Allplan from demoes, but AFAIK it didn't meet my expectations. I must admit that the last demo I saw wasn't done very well and the program seemed to have problems for a lot of the basic ArchiCAD possibilities. All by all not very convincing. Maybe you can prove me wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
