Project Outline

PROJECT: My project is to compare various CADD programs and to see how they compare when used for Architectural Design.

My list of CADD programs is short for now but I hope to find more.

-AutoCAD
-CYCAS
-Autodesk Revit
-ArchiCAD
-Vectorworks

METHOD: To determine how efficient each of the programs are and what limitations they are bound by.

1. Are the programs easy to learn how to use?

2. Are the programs easily accessible? cost? availability?

3. Do the programs run well on the average computer?

4. What sets the programs apart from each other? Why would someone choose one over the
other?

SPECIAL PROBLEMS: I would like to be able to get professional opinions on each of the programs that I will compare for this project. If not professional maybe one of the other students in my program has used another program and would be willing to talk about that.

ALSO: Do all of the programs run in imperial and metric systems of measurement.

The benefit of various CADD programs for use in Architecture.

My project is to be on various CADD programs and how they compare to each other.
