AutoCad and Revit Vs Chief Architect


DODGE

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

Just got back from a mates office, Architects, and they have just started using Chief Architect, I must say it looks very good. They were using Revit for a short while but seemed to think the whole thing was too steep a learning curve.

They reckoned they were up and running with Chief in around a month.

As I am still agonizing over which way to go, I have also had a look at Archicad.

I was wondering what thoughts you guys had, and if anybody here has had anything to do with Chief Architect and would like to share their experience.

Does anybody know anything about Chief Architect?

I would like a comparison between Revit and Archicad.

Is there anyone that has used this program and maybe either Revit Or Archicad and can give me their views.

Thamks Guys

Yes, Revit is over kill if all you are doing is residential and or light commercial. I have played with older version of CA and it is fine if you are doing cookie cutter houses and structures. I am not sure if current versions allow for more custom designs but it might. $2,400 CA is about half of a Revit Suite price so that might have played a role in their decision as well. I have seen some nice images produced with CA so it seems to be a usable application.
