There are a lot of Computer-aided design and BIM solutions that exist on the market. Today we are going to talk about ArchiCAD and FreeCAD in particular, that have been used by many professionals and hobbyists. so What are these two software used for and What are the features and tools that make one of them better than the other.
in 1982, GRAPHISOFT developed one of the first 2D/3D architectural modeling software for personal computers which is Archicad. It is an architectural design software for professionals and also used as a BIM software (Building Information Modeling software).
It thus enables architects to take charge of the construction project as a whole, throughout its life cycle. It allows you to design 2D plans and transform them into a 3D digital model in order to have the most precise possible result before the final rendering.
On the other hand, Freecad is an open-source software that was launched in 2002. The special thing about this one is that you can use it freely according to your needs. Freecad is a parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software. and It can be useful for building information modeling too. It allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters; it is easy to provide additional functionality without modifying designs from the ground up manually.
