on a regular basis:
cadimage door and window builder. because the GS doors and windows are rubbish.
cadimage wall/roof/slab/foundation builder. because they provide an extra level of detail - not to mention a far greater intelligence - than anything GS's complex profiles can provide.
cigraph's architerra. because GS's "site tools" consist of one - limited - mesh tool...
... combined with cadimage's site and massing tools. to create NZ specific building envelopes and boundary data.
cadimage's stairbuilder and cigraph's archistair. because whilst none of them can boast the best stair tool in the world award, they knock socks off of GS's stairmaker.
on a less regular basis (i.e. just playing around)
cadimage's framing tool. because it's great!
cadimage's revision manager. because it's indispensable . . . but i need to convince the office to invest throughout before i will be using it on a regular basis.
