Comment on "You should probably just throw it away"
TheFonz@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoHaha I would love to. But I would have to get all my teams - and there are many - to switch. I also tried FreeCAD. It’s OK for hobbyists but it’s unusable for architecture… C’est la vie

why for architecture?

It’s not streamlined, fast, or integrated well with other platforms/programs. Most of all, our adjacent consultants need to work in dwg. The whole industry pipeline is built around Autodesk products unfortunately and they own the market

Thats interesting. I thought that IFC is all we need nowadays. At least for my home I want to build its enough (luckily)

It’s Ok for small shops that do local projects. When you start working on large commercial projects you have 4-5 teams (architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, irrigation consultants) with each team involving 7-12 people then the pipeline gets complicated fast. Standardization is the only way to get projects out the door in a timely manner. We’re already struggling with in-house autodesk products that already struggle to talk to each other bc autodesk sucks haha
