I wish VW offered a simple, 2D drafting program as part of their suite of software products. Super simple, no BIM, no 3D. I use classes, design layers, and sheet layers to organize architectural drawing sets composed mostly of (gasp) lines and polygons with (gasp gasp) no 3D elements at all...
Over the years I've watched my computing power get exponentially faster while my drawings have bogged down and performed poorly. I presume this is because they are enhanced with a significant amount of robust 3D power--that I never use.
I've worked at four architecture firms in the SF Bay Area that have used various MiniCAD and VectorWorks versions over the course of 10 years. Not one has used 3D or BIM as a significant part of their workflow. I think there's a market for a lean, fast, efficient 2D drafting program for Mac based firms. If VW decides to offer it, please sign me up.
