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.

I was thinking this morning that it would be valuable for someone to prepare a report on whether or not we should incorporate Revit into the EDDT program, and how we would go about doing this. Both big offices (Stantec and IBI Group) that we went to in Vancouver last week said that they are going to Revit for some projects soon.

The place i worked at last summer BevandaArchitecture in penticton used Revit and all the guys said that they liked it better then AutoCAD (most of them came out of our program)..I think it would be great if we could learn how to use it in this program. I got to use it a bit and it is quite different from AutoCAD.

Hey Josh. Is this a hard topic to research? I think it would be. Is there any specific CADD programs you are looking at?, or are you going to compare all of them? I can see what i can dig up for you.

If your looking to help mitch try finding other CADD programs used for Architectural use. I'll post my updated outline soon. so you can cross out any on that list should you come across those.
