Anyone ever use this?

if anyone has anymore information on this please...let me know.

By the way..here's what the site looks like.
GS needs to get their act together and get a HQ in California.
Right next to Autodesk.....that's where things are happening.
I'd be willing to move out there and work GS in a second if they needed personnel in California.

I just sat in on an Imaginit presentation of this tool. It is promising but still in its infancy. It should be very valuable in the coming years. Right now I think it is still too much work for most projects but it does beat getting out the measuring tape, surveying tools, etc.

As to the Graphisoft move to CA, I think you are right. Innovation is happening at such an advanced rate right now, it would be nice to see Graphisoft news coming out more often than once a year. ArchiCAD is such a powerful and elegant tool but what matters most is capturing the imagination of potential users.
