The future how is it looking? Revit has its shortcomings... Has anyone used IronCad? How is it compared to Revit? IronCad has a nice user interface. I think. Catia how is it compared to Revit? I think it is too big - to learn? And too expensive! ArchiCAD compared to Revit? Rhino is it useable? Solid Works and you can also dimension! Anyone who likes it? AXEL is it not the same thing but I think it is a bit of the future - interactivity, VRML perhaps soon X3D - international standards of drawing exchange. What I like to see is a free 3D-CAD-program like Gimp instead of Photoshop. And I want to have an international XML-drawing-exchange-standard not .dwg, .rvt and all those corporate standards. Anyone who knows a project showing the future in CAD? I googled on CAD and parametric and found the free VARKON program. Look at this: http://www.tech.oru.se/cad/varkon/scrdmp8.htm http://www.tech.oru.se/cad/varkon/ You can google a little more and find Stimulus - parametric but only for Linux: http://www.freelists.org/archives/cad-linux/09-2002/msg00072.html And have a look at this one trying too integrate the whole shit. House manufacturing as car manufacturing: http://www.nemetschek.de/ http://www.lakedistrict-architect.co.uk/AllplanFT_Users.htm AND TEKLA? Everyone using the same database! http://www.tekla.com/user_nf/default.asp?r=0&site=2 And Octaga? They are world leading on 3D that is my opinion! http://www.octaga.com/ Anyone knowing something about the future? A new Babylon? Man is not made for the electric society is my opinion. Man seven million years old are made for small groups there you can see and hear and smell and grab the one you are communicating with. But what to do with CAD trying to find the best solution in the electric age? Nails, saws and hammers is nice tools you can understand, but the new electric tools they are very expensive and very complicated. Anyone having an opinion? Thanks in advance!

http://www.gbxml.org/ Here you find gbXML - green building XML - a part of Revit. Anyone who have used it? Having on opinion of it? XML is the futire. It is the only world grammar. for Internet and Mark Up. Anyone who knows an XML-format to store 3DCAD drawings in compatible with .rvt and .dwg and .dfx? Perhaps there is a converter too!?., I do not like to store drawings in formats like .rvt , .dwg and .dfx! That is certainly NOT the future!!! CAD-firms are trying too lock their users to their programs having to use their own CAD-format. It is just dictatorship. I lhope that we all can become "presidents" in eg CAD then we must have an international CAD-format in XML? Anyone having any thougts in this direction? Let us begin to think! Not being slaves under the dictatorship of some firm.

Have a look at this sad story: http://www.iai-na.org/aecxml/software.php The future is here now! But the future seems a little bit slow. Anyone who knows converters between propietary formats like .rvt, dwg and some international XML format for drawing exchange?

Have a look on this converter: http://www.okino.com/conv/filefrmt.htm No .rvt, no x3d but a hell of other formats. here is a little beginning of what I - my I - wants to have: http://www.dadim.de/xsl/ Here is the news archive for the future: http://www.web3d.org/news/archives/2004_06.html And here the future? USA Army? Perhaos hey have understand that there is a need for a converter between different drawing formats and to save in an open international format. http://www.movesinstitute.org/xmsf/xmsf.html But I hope on the non-destructive forces - the life-giving-forces trying to find an international understanding in CAD, but there to find it? www.sourceforge.net? Anyone who has find the future there? I did not find much: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lx-viewer/ Linux and no X3D But some day in the near future!
