We are terribly sorry, but Ductwork is not available for ArchiCAD 10.

Swell. Like Artlantis doesn't need a manual.
Will it ever happen OR not just now?
Your tone is very ominous and funereal.

im really pissed GS, not that you care but...you are obligating me to buy constructor if i need ductwork, the problem is that constructor will cost me 10,000 dls.....and will not buy it just for ductwork...or there is and MEP package coming out ??? thats what i heard !! i hope this is the case cuz otherwise i need a solution for this software reduction.

Do you mean to say that it is not "currently" available or that it will never be ported to ArchiCAD 10? If not, can you please let us know why?

Thanks,

Since I am also pssd fro a long time know I must comment.
Archicad without a strong built in MEP including thermal envelope analysis + an analytical structural model capability will be history.

The question is why GS is not willing to give us a roadmap
This is not a cakewalk.

I totaly agree with you; MEP, analytical structural model capability along with connection with all the major structural packages is THE biggest issue and should be addressed by Graphisoft right now....

Constructor is great idea but Graphisoft need to provide solutions for small and medium offices also!!!

This is not a good way to go, Graphisoft have to provide SOLUTION not just small part of the it, silence would lead you nowhere, GIVE US SOME CLUES ABOUT THIS PROBLEMS!!!!

As I have suspected from it's beginning, Constructor will be at the expense of a better Archicad.

It seems to me that all of the resources which have gone into Constructor should have(or could have) gone into Archicad.

How much does Constructor cost?

Re: Ductwork

Rakela Raul — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 11:09:35 GMT

How much does Constructor cost?

i came out with a final number of only +- 10,000 dls

Re: Ductwork

Steve Jepson — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 11:12:48 GMT

$10,000.00 USD ??

Constructor = Archicad +:
-MEP systems (duktwork, plumbing, electric, etc.)
-Real 4D with connection with scheduling software (MS Project, Primavera P3)
-Estimator and 5D Reviewer.
-Additional Library of Construction Industry specific elements (like trailers, cranes etc.)
And I think thats it.

It's Archicad with a few add-ons. It's been around a few years but it seems to have a different reseller channel. Most that I talk to know little or nothing about it.

I was under the impression that it was for larger construction management firms, but I could be wrong.
