New to BIM is HD Pro right for me?

Hello, I have 25+ years of experience drawing house plans in 2D only (AutoCad to be exact). I'm wanting to make the move to BIM and just downloaded the 2018 Home Designer Pro trial. I'm not terribly crazy about creating renderings. I just like the ability to design in 3d and generate the construction dwgs and materials list.

 

I've looked at Softplan and Chief Architect but too much of an investment, as I only do plans as a side job.

 

It seems like Home Designer Pro will do everything that I need, unless I'm missing something.

I know that there is a print size limitation of 18x24, but I think I could live with that.

 

Are there others like me who are using HDPRO in their home design business?

 

Thanks,

Andy

I know many users who are remodeling contractors that use Pro. I use mainly Chief Premier as I am a professional designer and draftsperson but I do work with many Pro users who are mostly remodelers. Pro exports only in .dxf 2D format (not .dwg), as Chief Premier does.
