Hi! First, I know your Linux/CAD-pages, and they are great. But while there are a lot of modellers and even some 2d-apps, architectural CAD (CAAD) is quite rare on Linux. BTW, Microstation for Linux exists only on some secret disks at Bentley afaik, they seam to be not willing to sell it to anybody... What I need is a productive CAAD software. I need objects like walls, windows, doors, stairs, not only geometry, I need to be able to create sections and views with a few mouse clicks, and these views must be able to adapt changes I make to the design. So, if you take a look at the functionality of Archicad or Vectorworks, you will understand that I can't use QCad for this (while it's great to have really free 2d CAD on Linux). The software that seams to be closest to my needs seams to be Octree at the moment, while it's missing still some functions and I have problems with their icon-free GUI. At the moment, I hope to get Vectorworks running on wine. But in the future, we need a real CAAD on Linux! I see that Linux might be an almost perfect base for architectural workstations, we have Gimp etc, the network software, we have professional 3d software, renderers and printing solutions for large format printing - but the architectural CAD is weak on Linux at the moment.
