AC 11 new stuff

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:22:31 GMT

mm.. ok i couldn't get it , whats the different between worksheets and details?

ok i can see that now i can have a part of my plan " with dimensions and text and everything " but GS add that to the Detail tool? or lets say.. get rid of Detail tool and stick to Worksheet?

correct me if i am wrong

and another thing , what is the real benefit of having separate elevation and section tools? , to organize? ok i think it could be done with the same tool , ref ID , or even if we have a choice of creating folders in View points , but a new tool? hmm

may be i am missing things?

ok i'll try to be organized i'll put what i noticed till now and please feel free to add :

-Virtual tracing : " powerful - but i have some problems updating the tracing drawing - like updating a layout reference doesn't mean updating drawings in that layout - and if i am using AC10 project with an manual rebuild section - own model section as a reference is empty? or is it only for Drawing sections-elevations?"

-Curved complex walls "for sure that should be in AC10, but at least we have it now "

-work sheet " i mentioned that above"
- interior elevation " funny tool "
- Doors , now we can have custom handle with no script headache
- multi story hotlinked " didn't try it yet "
- better PDF " Adios.. EPS "
- Transparency control in Sections and elevations and also shaded and colored methods - " but i miss that symbol of sun position now its all numbers "
- projection line control in walls

am i missing anything ?

any thing in interface? or just improvements in translating?

- components in Interactive schedules

i am not familiar with schedules... what is that? is it like we can have separate schedules for handles and sinks..etc?

- easier Layer combinations handling

YES

- 30 days trial version
- automatic updates
- library: new Graphic interface for Doors/Windows

yes really helpful improvement in Doors and Windows hope there are no more bugs?

And another thing... is Pen set assignment to Views ... which is really good although i am not that good yet with pens and stuff " i mean organizing and standards " but for sure this is helpful...

aaah... any thing else we are missing ?

YES

Just for the record. This one was a direct response to a suggestion made by James Murray. They do pay attention to us and are working hard to do as we ask.

No. If a handle or sink is part of another object, there is nothing new there. (You have to program a property script to generate the handle and sink lists, as in all prior versions - nothing in interactive schedule.)

The new thing is the completion of the implementation of complex profiles. In AC 10, where profiled columns, beams and walls were introduced, there was no way to schedule their components - only the gross mass.

Thus, for example, in AC 10 if you have a concrete stem wall with rigid insulation on one side and brick above, you can only compute the gross volume of the mass in any schedule or listing.

In AC 11, though, you can obtain surface area or volume of each 'component' of the profiled mass - thus getting volume of concrete, area of rigid insulation and volume or area of bricks. This also works with composites.

More work is needed so that users do not have to resort to external applications to get schedules with the precise organization that they want, but at least now the data can be extracted. A good step forward.

so basically its now more accurate in schedules ? mmm... great
but still i think its really scary to work with schedules and linking receipts and these stuff ... once i read someone describing that as the darkest side of ArchiCAD for me i think its even darker than GDL , coz in GDL its really powerful to create smart objects , but not necessary , while in scheduling almost all in the same level of complexity .

They are the same as they were in AC10.

The biggest difference between the Archicad 10 Detail Tool and the Worksheet Tool is that the Worksheet tool can now copy text and dimensions into the Worksheet Window. Of course, the AC11 Detail Tool can do that too.

No.
Many improvements are added.

More new stuff (well, I've never seen it before).

What is "3Dconnexion", Camera Mode / Object Mode. I can't find anything in my help files (search says "(no results)"). I try each option and can't see what the difference is.

Any ideas???

This is support for the mechanical whirligig called a 3Dconnexxion. Sounds like a soft drink to me.

am i missing anything ?

and we've forgot about:
- fills merging,
- linework normalization,
- pen sets in views,
- setting home story for elements.

Thanks for the quick replies. Thought I read everything here, but that thread skipped by me somehow.

So its new, and its broken. Nice one.

ok seems that i don't know how to run " 3d connexion?" after selecting object mode or camera mode? " do i have to use this strange thing that shows in their website? i don't know what to call it .. 3D cap controller?

and another thing ... selecting home story of an element?...

i am getting afraid of all these options!! and the only benefit is that now after applying an element to a story i can change home story without copy to another level? " or cut actually" so now i can just change home story?
if there are any other uses of this feature , please explain it

and yes line work improvements? i mean we are talking about consolidations? yes its good

but Tom.. if the only feature on worksheet is coping text and dimension... still so what is the use of Detail tool? why having two tools that do almost the same?

improvement in file merging? hmm... like what?

The website is quite explicit in the products it offers:

http://www.3dconnexion.com/

The only one for Mac is the Space Navigator - $100. or $59 if you want to lie.

$59 if you are a non-commercial user, to be precise 😉
It nags after 30 days that it needs software updates for commercial work, but I can truly answer that I don't do commercial work.

The option in the menu has no use without the hardware.

I have actually tried the product a few months ago with rhino..it's fun to use, and fun to navigate through the building
