Architecture field

[Speling]

Did anybody use ProE in Architecture field? Can modules like cabling and piping be used in that field

Any architects I have ever met use pirated versions of Autocad

Most are 2d except for people like Frank Gehry who use Catia.

I've used pro in architectural concept designs... but never for final engineering drawings - Pro's too good for that .



Back when I was running my own business, I picked up a cheapy 3D home design package from Wal-Mart here in the states, that was written by Broderbund. It had all the codes already implemented into the software, so all you had to do was place where you wanted lights, switches, plugs, and then the software would automatically run the wiring for you, and correct any misplaced items that were'nt per code.



I think I spent about $40 (U.S.) on it. It even had rendering capability!!!

My son is an architect, and they use AutoCAD in their office. The only 3D they have is when they build their cardboard models.
