Answers to Questions
The project is a public service pro-bono design for a charity that helps provide a place for the families of children with cancer
 
What does AutoCAD, ArchitecturalDesktop, Revit or ArchiCAD NOT do ? What kinds of 3D is DataCAD or ChiefArchitect not appropriate for ? What kinds of projects would you NOT want to use MicroStation TriForma ? Where can we truly see a real side by side comparison of the various CADD options for architecture ? Which of these programs can help in real design ? The CADD venders will not tell you many of these things, but we will on November 12. These and many more questions are specifically the reason for this 3D CADD Challenge.

Want to show off your skills or introduce a new design software to your colleagues ? Make sure your favorite CADD software is represented here by encouraging you local school or user group to submit some examples, or send it in yourself !
