ARRIS

Wins Designers 3D CAD Shootout!

Boston, MA, November 25, 1996 Sigma Design International's ARRIS software claimed the first inaugural Architectural CADD Cup at the 3D CAD Designers Shootout held at the World Trade Center. Eight teams of architects, each advocating a different Architectural CADD product AllPlan, ArchiCAD, DataCAD, MiniCAD, TriForma, AutoArchitect, Architrion and ARRIS respectively, participated in a three-hour CAD design competition. Geoff Langdon, Professor of Architecture and chief organizer of the event, described the competition:  

"The objective is to see what real architects have to say about the software, as well as sharing their insights on the limitations as well as the special features of their software. ....We would also like to see how well the software does in real, typical architectural office situations."

ARRIS was voted the Best Overall Architectural CADD Software by the approximately 325 architects and professionals in attendance. ARRIS also was voted number one in:

  • Best at Sketching Conceptual Design Ideas
  • Best Rendering
  • Easiest at 3D Modeling
  • Best Network Collaboration
  • Best Design
  • Best Quick Shaded Perspectives
  • Best Animation
  • Most Accurate 3D Modeling
  • Best Presentation

Overall, ARRIS was chosen as number one in 10 of the 20 voting categories, and was rated among the top three in 17 out of 20 categories. Said Mr. Langdon,

"We congratulate the ARRIS Team, and also Sigma Design, the developers of ARRIS. They clearly demonstrated that they are the current standard bearers of architectural CADD excellence."  

Cosponsors of the event included the Boston Society of Architects, Architectural CAD Consultants, the Boston Computer Society and various area CAD user groups.  ARRIS Team Web Site at http://members.aol.com/shootout3d/teamarris.html
