Re: SolidWorks for Architectural Work?

SolidWorks is increasingly being used to design manufactured buidling
products - HVAC equipment, specialty doors and windows, cladding,
etc., - but not so much for actual architectural design.

The biggest challenge would be construction do***entation.  CDs are
legal do***ents that are distributed to the wide range of
subcontractors that actually do the work.  The symbology used on AEC
CDs is radically different from mechanical detail drawings and it
would be very difficult to produce a full set of CDs in SolidWorks.

SolidWorks also lacks automation of common architectural elements,
such as inserting doors and windows, cleaning up wall intersections,
curtain walls, etc.
