Note from Architectural CADD : ARC+ is a very flexible architectural CADD program, developed, and popularly used in, Isreal. It has great basic 3D modeling capabilities, very good visualization (rendering, perspectives, even stereoscopic views), and comprehensive 2D production drawing capabilities.
Comments from Architectural CADD : This software seems to have found it almost impossible to break into the obtuse USA market for CADD. While the software is more flexible - making ususual designs easier - it is not as powerful as AutoCAD in several areas. Several times ACA has tried to set up sales/support offices for ARC+ in the USA, and even, in 1997, competed in the Designers 3D CAD Shootout in Boston. They did not do well in that competition mainly because their team chose not to do the asked-for design but instead demonstrated other stuff - neat, but the audience (who, that year voted on the winners) wanted to see if they could do the required design.
