Pros/Cons
Pros
- This is a good software for 3D design. It is for free and there is a great community that can give support to you, with a lot of tutorials in Youtube.
- I love that it’s free first of all. The projections from all angles is amazing and really helpful when designing for clients so they can really get a full picture of what you are designing.
- FreeCAD has been a Godsend for developing and evaluating my ideas and I would definitely recommend it if you are a small business with minimal or no budget for expensive CAD software.
Cons
- It has very limited functionality and is weak on 3D CAD.
- For me it is very difficult to do the transition from 2D to 3D because there are a lots of options that I do no manage for work in three dimensions.
- Extremely time consuming and frustrating for the amount of work produced.
Pros
- It's easy to use and has a very short learning curve. You quickly become very productive with this tool and can accomplish takeoffs substantially faster with considerable greater accuracy.
- The product is easy to use and the customer support is outstanding. The price was very good.
- One of the significant advantages in using QM rather than the old-fashioned method is the verification process to clearly point out what was taken-off. QM support is as good as it gets.
Cons
- However, if you simply want footages with no calculations needed, very little configuration is needed. Missing some automated features that full suite software contains.
- There is no way to change scale once it is set. You have to reload the sheet and reset the scale.
- This is a real handicap. Also, the manual is difficult if you've never used this type of product before.
