为什么要改用ArchiCAD

User Testimonials
More than 80% of ArchiCAD users used to be AutoCAD users*

"We looked for architectural software that could improve production and automate modelling. While AutoCAD is a solid drafting software, ArchiCAD stands out as a tool for architects because of its superior modeling and drafting capabilities. ArchiCAD enables the architect and client to make informed decisions early, reducing costly change orders in the field. They were excited about the realistic drawings we could produce using ArchiCAD."
Marty Ball, CCBG's systems guru, Phoenix, AZ, U.S.

"Modeling offers much more potential than drawing in helping us to better understand our buildings and to refine our designs. We chose ArchiCAD because, quite simply, we felt that it would help us design better buildings. We liked the intuitive and constructive nature of ArchiCAD. Building with walls, slabs, roofs and objects versus drawing lines."
Bill Manion and Sara O'Neil, O'Neil and Manion Architects P.A., Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.

"ArchiCAD performed, on average, 20 percent more efficiently than our current CAD system, and the outputs also included internal and external perspectives."
"ArchiCAD is opening up new opportunities for us. With our previous system, designers hit the ceiling with the range of functions and features they could use. Now the bar has been raised; what we can do with ArchiCAD has endless possibilities."
Jim Treklis, AVJennings, Sydney, Australia

"Everyone I knew was using AutoCAD 10, so I assumed that was the only way to go. I enrolled in a class and after some effort the only skills I had developed were simple drafting skills." "I then went to my customer base with a videotape containing fly-throughs created using ArchiCAD, and a SolidBuilder material list, and asked which they would be willing to pay for. They all chose the videotape, explaining that the 3D capabilities offer them something that they could get nowhere else."
Miles Ostermann, Ostermann Home Design and Milestone Studio, Vancouver, WA, Canada

"I am very pleased with my choice of ArchiCAD. In fact, I believe it has the best designed, cleanest, most polished user interface that I have ever encountered in any piece of software of any kind that I have ever worked with! The tools are designed to be natural for a human to use. You are lucky to have such a fine product to sell!"
Carl Hagerling, Andeen-Hagerling, Inc., Cleveland, U.S.

"ArchiCAD 7.0 is intuitive and easy to work with. The interface is simple to understand, and there are only a few buttons to handle. The way that values are input for wall thickness, height, floor slab thickness, material, colors, etc., is similar for all tools; therefore, we’ve been able to get up to speed with the program very quickly."

"It was clear to us from the start that only the most productive software solution would allow a relatively small team to meet target dates for such a large project as the WorldTower."
Bob Nation, Nation Fender Katsalidis (NFK), Melbourne, Australia

"ArchiCAD was the only AEC solution capable of handling the planning and documentation of many different unit types, floor plate variations and the development of a complex superstructure, simultaneously in one file."
Steven Smit, Nation Fender Katsalidis (NFK), Melbourne, Australia

"Our aim was to work with cutting-edge technology and we found it in ArchiCAD. Being conscious about our society we are committed to the education of the architectural community and development of quality architectural design in China."
Wang Zhenhui, China Aerospace Corporation (CASC), Beijing, China

"The drafting department was somewhat resistant to the switch, because their hard-won skills on DataCAD were being thrown away. But after a while, they conceded that as a drafting tool, ArchiCAD was a wildly better program."
"Most of the operations needed for technical drawings are much simpler to perform in ArchiCAD than they were in DataCAD, including fewer keystrokes, and more logical command sequences."
Philip Dowds, Heym Associates, Boston, U.S.
