Chief Vs Autocad

[johnnyprc]

For a "standard" house I would say Chief is much faster to create a quick model/plans. For most large commercial projects and/or non-standard homes ArchiCad probably is the best bet. I realize the term "standard" is relative, but I didn't want to get into all the types etc.

That said, the person who asked the question said they specialize in kitchens and bathrooms. In that case I would highly recommend Chief, as it seems geared to interior design. Just don't expect to draft 2D like you did in AutoCAD. That is a whole different subject.

Learning curve for Chief is probably simple in the Kitchen/bath department - full plans that contain any amount of complexity and I would say Chief's learning curve is a mountain.
