If you want a CAD program for jewelry that is easier to use than Matrix, this is it. It has allowed me to have a custom jewelry business. I use it to design all of my custom jewelry jobs. If it can be cast, 3Design Jewelry CAD Software will work for you.

ARCHICAD, is well suited in presenting all desired projects in building and construction works more so where the client has just an idea but lacks the actual picture in mind. When doing all commercial buildings where proper records and evidence is record is needed, ARCHICAD should be considered. Projects which involve complex and large volumes of labor require well-presented drawings or representation done with ARCHICAD for proper and easy execution. ARCHICAD is less appropriate for small jobs like shades which are not complex and need less attention.

Cons
Gravotech - TYPE3 Software
  • The renderings are terrible.
  • The program bogs down if you are doing something with more than 100 stones.
  • In my opinion, the support is next to nothing unless you pay for it.
  • In my experience, they always hassle you to upgrade.

  • ArchiCAD lacks a few feature sets, including an automatic Keynote database extraction system, an expandable Phasing/Options manager, and an easy way to transfer standard details into a project.
  • The Revision/Change Manager, as well as the new Stair and Railing tools, while impressively flexible, are too complex to set up and customize.
  • It is an underdog product. Revit has a market share because it spends more money on marketing, and less on product development.

In my opinion, if you pay for the support, it is great. Otherwise, I feel like they always say the problem is user error and try to get you to purchase the support.

We have rapid responses from their support team, and they often go the extra mile to pinpoint the root cause of an issue and assist the team in resolving it. They are honest when a problem is down to user error, or a glitch on the version we are on.

3Design Jewelry CAD Software had a class on how to use the program that was close to me. Matrix did not have any classes at all at the time. Matrix is also much more difficult to learn than 3Design Jewelry CAD Software. 3Design Jewelry CAD Software is a little less expensive than Matrix, but more expensive than all of the other programs that aren't as good.

On the first hand, ARCHICHAD offers more versatility in modeling complex geometric shapes and forms. ARCHICHAD also offers greater flexibility for customization and the development of add-ons and extensions. This allows users to tailor the software to their specific needs and workflows, enhancing productivity and efficiency. While both ARCHICHAD and Revit offer rendering capabilities, ARCHICHAD's built-in rendering engine, CineRender, is better for its ease of use and high-quality output.
