Jorge Hernando Porras Polo replied to Lyle Architects's discussion What is the best software for architects? 2D? BIM?"Well Lyle, thanks for replying. Well, I have to say I agree there are a few problem with dwg exporting, but the big deal is the IFC issue. DWG is not a universal format, even is the most popular and used. ArchiCAD 14 exports to Revit structure,…"

Lyle Architects replied to Lyle Architects's discussion What is the best software for architects? 2D? BIM?"Hi Jorge, I have used Archicad here and there over the years.

Lyle Architects replied to Nicholas Evans's discussion What type of drawing skills are needed to become an Architect? And where can you improve on them?"I agree with many points made here and to add I would suggest taking a life drawing class at any school. The skill most critical is to think through drawing as opposed to thinking,..then sketching it out. 1minute even 30 second poses can sometimes…"
Kamaluddeen Dahiru replied to Lyle Architects's discussion What is the best software for architects? 2D? BIM?"I think BIM could be a good replacement and solution to our 3D or nD problems and it has come to stay...what?"
Maissaa Khidher replied to Lyle Architects's discussion What is the best software for architects? 2D?

ViZ and MAX are great for rendering…"
