Interior CAD

[jgmrussell]

Hi, I'm about to take a training course on VW 11.5 and I've downloaded a demo version on InteriorCAD 2.0 to try. Is there anybody here using it and what are your thoughts on it?

I'm more interested in kitchen and furniture design than straight architecture and I'm also a Mac user, so options on software was narrowed to VW.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Take care,

John

I've been working with InteriorCad for over a couple of years now and I must say I've been very pleased. InteriorCad 2.0 is the lastest release and has alot of user friendly enhancements.

Its perfect for kitchen cabinetry, but you can do alot more with InteriorCad with practice.

I would be more than happy to answer any questions.(I'm not a sales person ).

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. I'm off to company HQ next week for 4 day training course on VW etc. I'm hoping to learn somethings about InteriorCAD there also. If I have any questions on my return I'll ask then. I'm excited about being able to design my own projects and hopefully I'll master this software.

Take care,

john

i could be wrong, but I doubt if you will learn much about interiorCAD at the course. InteriorCAD is a powerful and sophisicated add-on to VectorWorks, but it is still an add-on to the basic VectorWorks.

I has taken me some time to learn how to use it for drawing kitchen cabinets, but the manual that I have is now able to speed people through this learning.

You will still benefit from the basic training, and learning about viewports, layers and classes, how to add text and dimensions, rendering and textures will still be useful when you start to use interiorcad.
