Remember the saying "Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see". We went with ARCHT as an Autocad add-on back then. They were also very pushy and practically gave the product away so they could get their foot in the door. It was interesting but the interface and usability was terrible. About 10 years ago while I was a cad manager at a large architectural firm, I had an opportunity to evaluate their products. Personally I think the next release of Softplan should be a major improvement in 3D if they plan on keeping up with Chief.Īs for Digital Canal (use to be Eaglepoint), I haven't used their products. If I need a nice rendering, I like to take the model over into Autodesk VIZ. While Chief does some nice quick 3d, Softplan is the better tool for construction documents. Basically I came to the same conclusion that Joe wrote above. This is also coming from someone who never thought he would leave Autocad! I feel Softplan does twice as much for half the price. ![]() ![]() I worked with both Chief Architect and Softplan and decided that Softplan was right for me. I did some research to see what was out there before I bought. I had planned on using Architectural Desktop or Revit for residential work. I used Autocad for 13 years and was with Autodesk for the last 6 before I went out on my own.
