I took the liberty of forwarding your request to a colleague - below is his reply. Best wishes!/Charlotte
- "Dear Tsipropoulou evi
The commersial competition between Autodesk, Graphisoft (ArchiCad) and other "actors" is influencing what is being used without any actual respect of what is the most useful for the profession. As a professor of CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) I have
for the last 15 years been working for a professional CAAD environment, which supporting design makes the full use of the power of computing.
The only logical way to do it is by treating a building as such - not primairely as a geometrical object. This will mean that you build your CAD model with building objects as in reality as you do in ArchiCad. For interior design it means using objects of interior design such as furniture etc. It also means that companies manifacturing furniture can support architects with CAD-models of their products, wich is done at least in Sweden.
The Swedish ArchiCad distributer, LaserCad, has been working on several libraries, but the time to make full use of this is not yet here. Architects in practise use modeling to illustrate in 3D and make drawings in 2D-Cad as they have been doing manually for decades.
In my role as a teacher I try to make my students prepare for the "Building object" option all though the practise has not reached that stage yet. If you are really interested I can offer you some adresses to investigate for ArchiCAd libraries with commercial products.

Subject: best software for interior design
hi, i am a first year student in a national design school in greece.i would like to know which is the most popular and easy to handle software in the field of interior design(schools and market).
in our carriculum there is Autocad and 3D Studio, but i wonder if this is enough, because some interior designers here use the archicad.Actually, is it better than the 3D Studio?i am a little confused and i would appreciate it ,if someone in this forum could make it clear for me.
thanks in advance
Tsipropoulou evi
