Hi Craig,
In my opinion, Archicad is a much more advanced program than Autocad. It is a 3d modeling and rendering program. I can't understand why Architects think that Autocad a engineer based product, could be better than a program made for Archite…

Quite the ambitious question…

Morning Craig.
I have a Master's degree so my opinion is a little biased...LOL
Certificates are generally not held in the same regard as a degree. A degree indicates a level of commitment that a certificate does not. Accredited programs tend to be…
