Chose AutoCAD
AutoCAD is an industry-standard, and there are no alternatives. Revit is used more often for 3D modeling and document set production, Rhino and SketchUp are used more often for conceptual studies. AutoCAD still has a place in our workflow for drawing details, file conversion, …
AutoCAD is honestly inferior to these products, given their ability to model complex geometries and generate automatic drawings. AutoCAD is the older generation of drafting software, and while still useful, is becoming less and less the go-to software to begin an architectural …
I think that AutoCAD is much better than all 3 of these programs when outputting 2D drawings and constructions set drawings, but Rhino and Revit are both better for 3D outputs. Revit is a little bit more confined in what you are able to actually design and gives a less original …
I think that out of all of these, Rhino is best at having the freedom to design in 3D specifically, and it is a better 3D design tool than SketchUp and Revit. I think it pairs really well with the use of AutoCAD for 2D construction drawings and other 2D outputs.
Rhinoceros 3D is an excellent tool for quick concepts, as are programs like SketchUp and AutoCAD. However, Rhinoceros 3D excels at being flexible in terms of file exports and the capability to work with other software easily like Adobe Creative Suite, Revit, and more. It is a …
Our company has all of these products listed above. In the design field, it would be misguided to think that one tool is all you need for a collection of staff with varying levels of expertise. It's not a question of 'one or the other', but rather how can they all contribute to …
Rhino is a generic platform. For BIM, you can combine it with Revit or ARCHICAD or look for extensions, such as VisualArq or the GeometyGym extensions for Grasshopper. Due to its good interoperability, I often use it for reviewing AutoCAD drawings or converting 3D models. …
Rhino serves a very specific purpose in my work: for any geometry that can't be described simply in plan and section, Rhino offers tools to model and document these geometries. With the Grasshopper plugin, Rhino is my go-to tool for any parametric design tasks, such as creating …
