    It is perfectly suited for residential work, and work where the project requires integrated 2d and 3d. It is terrible for integrated energy modeling. This needs to be fixed immediately.

    • The program is getting a little 'fat', and needs to be slimmed down. It is starting to bog down a bit when doing certain functions. The program of late is more buggy then we are used to seeing.
    • I like how smooth Sketchup is in 3D. It would be great to get VW's to be more responsive in 3D.
    • The space tool is very clunky.
    • I would be great if a texture map could be a video and not just a still image. We could really use that.
    • PLEASE get the energy modeling capabilities up to speed. It needs to be much more intuitive and NOT based on Passive House standards. Please include a clear output for a projects Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and how a project is doing relative to the 2030 Commitment.

    The tools on CADWorx have the best power to create big construction projects' 3D models and the rendering engine is very powerful and functional enough to render the clearest picture within a very short period of time. The simulation and easy drawings editing CADWorx are more faster and accurate documentation functionalities.
