   Switching from ArchiCAD to ARCHLineXP

   We switched to ARCHLine.XP after exploring using ArchiCAD then Revit and exploring a few others. There was an initial struggle to get our minds around the interface and to it took a little time to redo our templates and set up our design office the way we liked. It had taken us many years to perfect things in our former software and it took about 2 weeks to transfer those settings to ARCHLineXP but it has been well worth it. With only a few exceptions such as creating new window types ARCHLine.XP is significantly faster and easier and more flexible for us and the initial pain of switching (which was great) is paying off every time we use the ARCHLine.XP so the experience has been a rewarding one all round.

   🏁 Competitors: Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD, Chief Architect Premier, Vectorworks Architect

   👍 Pros:    Better in 3d|Faster to operate|Multiple views open at the same time|More compatible with other software|Far less expensive|Great support from the developers|No need to buy extra modules|Feels like archicad, revit, autocad and sketchup rolled into one|Heaps of training materials free|Similar enough to make the transition quite quick|Super easy to import objects from other sources|Floor and level management really good and easy to change|Best roof and stair routines we've seen|Very flexible wall layers|Great command finder function for new or accational users|Model making function|Link to its own live rendering software really cool|Really easy to customise the content of the libraries|Really easy to teach new students how to use it compared with others

   👎 Cons:    Less attractive interface imo|Unusual windows shapes difficult to create|Menus can be a little too buried|Inistial backgound colour (pale yellow) looks old fashioned but can be changed|Rebuilding a complex 3d model can take a long time|Library content not localised to our country so had to add a local template before we began

• Any recommended fairly easy to learn design/architectural software to play around with different designs for my house (mostly exterior/facade?)

  However planner5d also looks slick. Source: 6 months ago

• Am I nuts for wanting to change this carpet?

  Don't rush. Redesign your space in 3d and see how it goes from there. I like your current rug. Source: 6 months ago

• Interior design softwares and AI

  I came across https://planner5d.com/. It's pretty neat but doesn't have options that I really need. Source: 12 months ago

• First time living alone, the space feels… depressing

  Dude, go to https://planner5d.com/ and just design your space. This shit saved me so much time and money. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any free / cheap softwares that I can use to draw up my new build? Am a visual person so need to see the space for planning purposes.

  I do not recommend https://planner5d.com, they used to be amazing but have since massively crippled the free tier, to the point where it's unusable. Source: about 1 year ago
