Autodesk criticised by 35 named architects (2020)
I&#x27;d rather see firms chuck some money to perhaps Blender or something to get a viable alternative developed than send angry letters to the featureless monolith that is Autodesk. They&#x27;re the market leader. They don&#x27;t care. They already have firms by the metaphorical balls with astronomical licensing fees and know people will pay because they set the standards across many industries.<p>In architecture, anyway, the problem seems to be that generally BIM programs just suck. Nobody I know likes Revit, although they admit it&#x27;s powerful, and a lot of firms think Archicad isn&#x27;t industry ready.<p>I&#x27;ve used Archicad myself, at least, and it&#x27;s very painful. The workflow flows poorly, and there&#x27;s not much consideration for what people are going to be doing a lot of, so you&#x27;re constantly wrestling with it to get the function you want. It&#x27;s got a lot of good and interesting ideas in it, but sadly they&#x27;re just hampered by feeling bolted on and not well integrated.
