we use autocad(2005) for all 2D, and simple 3D work like Axo/ orIsometric drawings - but we also use 3D studio Max and Viz for perspectives when we need materials/texture/ lighting. I am rubbish with computers so when we started 10 years ago, my business partner and i bought Archicad because it is sooo simple, powerful and draws (thinks) in an architectural way - so you draw a wall it has thickness - material etc etc and is in 3D, so it is a bit like modelling. Depends on what sort of drawings you want at the end of the day, but what you have is probably OK, unless you are doing "presentation" stuff. |
