thinkbuild Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Greetings all. I am considering to purchase Architect. But, why should I? Seriously, I'd love to hear anyone's experiences or thoughts on the differences/advantages which warrant the extra investment....Just a question. Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Are you an architect? Will you be doing architectural work with VW (designing buildings, developing models, creating construction documents?) Quote Link to comment
thinkbuild Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes, I am an architect, and yes, I will be designing buildings, making CD's, etc. I do not plan to do ANY 3D at all, for now, as I am an advanced SketchUP user with many years experience using it. So really, I am thinking about VW/Architect because of the SU import/export, and because I really like/need/want (?) to be about to use the "rotate plan" module. But maybe there are other things?

Ole Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The Navigation palette alone is worth the upgrade. I have recently upgraded all the Licenses in the office (20) and Everybody bar none is a lot happier using Architect. Quote Link to comment
thinkbuild Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well, I did it. And I am so so pleased. As suggested above, the Nav palette is really FANTASTIC. And the rotate plan thing. And the extended libraries, and and and. Overall it seems much more tailored to my needs, right away I noticed this when the workspace changed. Thanks to all of you above whose comments helped me with this important decision. best, Jason Quote Link to comment
