is there any architect in the house?
raihan hasnain
I have a large number of architect friends. My gf is an architect too.
They are totally dependent on window$ as they seem not to understand anything else but Autocad and 3ds Max.
Well there are few other products, but their run is up to Autodesk and Adobe products, unfortunately they do no have linux versions.
Wine isn't a solution here. There are few alternatives, like Blender, Gimp, Caad and other stuffs. But they don't fell comfortable with it.
If there is any archi here. Please give us a free speech.

Realsoft3D is a great product, VariCad is also, yet on the 3D side there
isn't much in Linux. I use Solid Edge 19, Solid Works, Catia, Visio, and
Autocdad r14 / 2000 on my box BUT I run them in qemu when I absolutely
need it. No one wants to draft in an emulator but when you are doing
2D-which is mostly done in Autocad-no big deal. The really powerful
render programs run on gnu/*nix system, it's just that they are
proprietary, highly specialized and we will only see presentations of them.
I do a lot of things in Qcad as well, it's mostly akin to Autocad which
uses dwg's. You can convert the dwg's to dxf files and load them, with
no problem in Qcad.
I also use Maya 6 for 3D animations, which was initially designed to run
on Unix, then was ported to Window, then to Linux.
Movie's that have used Maya
The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, George of the Jungle, The Fifth Element,
Final Fantasy, The Hollow Man, The X-Man, Anaconda, Stuart Little,
Shrek, Sindbad, Pandavas, Starship Trooper, Lake Placid, The Phantom
Menace, Spiderman, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park 3, Star Wars, Lord of the
Rings, Ice Age and more.
Dassault Systems...which makes Catia and Solid Works supports Catia on
Aix and Solaris, but not Linux(they stopped supporting it).
It is no longer supported but it does run on Linux...Audi designs its
automobiles on Catia with Linux clusters.
Every engineer or want to be engineer knows what Catia is.
I just found this thread...I'm a little late but atleast I said something.
