>>21225578Solidworks is built on top of a Catia 5 framework that Siemens leased from Dassault.
All of these programs work on the same premise with the same fuckign tools though they confuse the issue by giving their identical tools different names.
I've tried them all including an insane crack of Catia 6 2016 that took me an hour of hard work to install and the project storage function wsa still fucked up because post 2016 Catia is made to only work online. I checked the price in Canada from an arrogant sales rep and the minimum config is $22k per annum. Forget that.
Even Revit with its BIM is very nice but get the BIM purchase parts shit set up is going to be problematic for ordering materials online as you insert them into your pre fab project. If you could do that it would be pretty cool.
Bentley as I said has all that and it's pretty damn cool
Bentley's architectural CAD software, such as MicroStation, has different pricing options. For example, a perpetual license for MicroStation costs around $6,386, while an annual subscription is about $1,208 Another option, Bentley's building design software, starts at $8,199
