> It looks like this program would lend itself more to industrial design rather than architecture.

Hi Ypnos, yes I think that is correct.

However, there is a certain flavor of architecture that is more "industrial design-ish" and less hard-edge and boxy. MoI is a good solution to that sort of style of architecture, like stuff that does not fit inside of a more standard pattern.

It's also not too unusual for just a few certain elements of an architectural design to have a more freeform curvy structure. Like imagine a parking garage - the garage itself may be pretty straightforward and work well with standard architecture modelers, but maybe one ramp in the design needs to be made of more flowing curves. MoI can be handy for modeling just these kinds of curvy elements within a larger design.

I am an engineer doing 100% architectural design. I can't use MoI for my building plans, since there is no dimensions, hatches. Also, I usually need BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology so that's why I use Revit Architecture.
Moi is my favorite tool for general modeling for my building models, especially for my interior projects (stores, office buildings etc) because Revit is not good at general modeling. I have 1-2 examples in the gallery thread showing what I mean.
I think MoI is a great tool and I will use it very often for furniture modeling, light fixtures, exterior objects, special constructions from wood, gypsumboard, difficult false ceilings, etc.

I think MoI 2.0 will be even better with object handling, grouping, maybe some more 2D functions etc... So it's worth having such a nice tool
