ArchiCAD

ArchiCAD resources, principally figure and entourage packs: pedestrians, seated figures, children, students and the people who give a drawing its scale.

ArchiCAD's strength is that documentation and model stay in one place, so an object placed once appears correctly in plan, section and elevation. That only holds if the object was built for it — a figure that reads well in elevation but has no sensible plan representation breaks the moment you cut through it.

People are the fastest scale check in any drawing. A figure at the wrong height makes a ceiling look low or a door look enormous, and readers register the error before they can name it. Keep figures near 1.7 m, vary posture rather than size, and place them where they explain use.

See ArchiCAD against Revit and AutoCAD, using cutouts convincingly and axonometric versus isometric.
