    |
|
Hi all,
I'm not an architect but due to professional reasons I had to start learning some of the architecture basics. Now I need to use a 3D program which allows me to create a building and walk around it, seeing all the internal and external details.
I've tried the 3D Home Architect Deluxe 6 but the "walk around" tool is not working good with me, since the navigation is done with the mouse. Could someone here please tell me what's the best program available for this purpose? The me is being able to create any kind of building and being able to walk all around it in 3D.
I'd also ask you people to point some sites where I could learn more about those 3D programs and the architecture basics. I'm a complete newbie.
Thanks in advance,
John Silva |

Based on your description, DesignWorkshop Lite could be a great way to explore your design ideas.
DesignWorkshop's live 3D modeling environment and unique real-time walkthrough features are great for quickly creating and exploring a design. And a simple, intuitive user interface makes DesignWorkshop easy to learn.
You can even begin your work with DesignWorkshop Lite for free!
And If you find later that you need the expanded features of DesignWorkshop Classic Home Design or DesignWorkshop Professional, your files and knowledge will transfer, seamlessly! For more information or to place an order, please visit the CADOutpost.com internet store.
As you're getting to know DesignWorkshop, please don't hesitate to contact Artifice Support whenever you may have questions. |
