Hi!
> I'm an Architect here in America
I am student of architecture ind Germany ;-)
There are some more... e.g. Speedikon (www.iez-ag.de) and octree
(www.octree.de). But in fact, I use CAD on a mac in university at the moment.
While I
still hope there might be a formZ 4.0 for Linux in the near future (maybe we
should ask www.autodesys some more times ;-)... Linux is on my own machines, at
home and on the laptop, for special tasks (you mentioned radiance...) and
standards like office and mail.

There are lots of maya users here at the faculty of architecture, only my
machine is too slow ;-) And afaik there is a free versionb for non-professional
use ?

If I only could understand the interface ...
Did anybody hear news about Microstation on Linux?
