The idea behind Category:Software category is to group all the Structural Wiki pages that are about a particular AEC software and complement software database entries with user contributed content. User contributed information may include modeling tips, sample models, experience with using the software, etc. with the goal to provide insight into the software beyond the official documentation and official technical supports (software developers and vendors rarely provide this type of inside information). To facilitate categorization of all pages about a particular software, the four naming conventions described below should be observed.

Refer to Talk Page for naming conventions.
