Chief Vs Autocad

[RMorrison]

So the questions to Richard are:
-when would he choose to use Archicad over CA?
-Does he use both to complete a project and if so, why?
-Would he use CA for a particular 3000 sf home and would he choose Archicad for different 3000 sf home?
-What governs his decision to use a particular program over the other?

In general, I use Chief for design (it's faster for modeling) and ArchiCAD for CDs (it's faster for CDs, and no issues with schedules. hehe). For simpler projects (one story or alterations), I do everything in Chief. I would prefer to do everything in Chief, but until schedules and CAD are improved, I'm still going to use the best tool for the job.
