Software does not make one a good, or even moderately competent architect. It's just a tool like any other and unless you have real-world experience running BIM projects, your skill level and experience can't be worth much. Best to seek entry into large, even multidisciplinary, offices that utilize all the good stuff BIM has to offer. 1 More Answer

Hi Tania, yes that makes sense. Not every product on Modlar has BIM/CAD files. If you are looking for those files specifically, you can do a search (even just a blank search) and tick the file type you want in the 'Formats' filter on the left hand side. That way you will only see products that have the file you need. 2 More Answers
