Linda, I agree with you. I use the design builder for this reason.
But it is interesting to discuss the methods, pros and cons of each program.
Always have someone with good ideas that you can add in our work.
Thanks for the reply!

i've a doubt, but i'm here to know how is the modeling methods of each one.
We have Design Builder, Google Scketchup with Open Studio, and i've heard that some professionals model with excel macro spreadsheets to take the coordinates of each zone.
Someone models with spreadsheets?
I'm using desing builder and i like it. What program do you think is better?
