Thats exactly what I was thinking! I was expecting a big announcement today. It did take quite a while however from the announcement to the actual ship date of Archicad 16 - so I wonder if that means Archicad 17 has been put back?

It would be nice to see a keynote webcast to the world such as Steve Jobs did, and even the Autodesk CEO did recently.

Come on GS you are killing us with anticipation

Looks like some features are already noted on Archicadwiki:
Intergrated Sketchup Add-on
I assume it means you don't have to download the add-on

Note the 18% price bump after June 1st (N.A.)

Here is hoping that there is not an 18% price increase in UK version. I thought that the Revit / Autocad LT pricing model would bring some pressure on GS to lower the cost of AC.

Here is hoping that the next few days brings us some exciting news. I would imagine so given that the user group in canada is getting a sneak peak on the 9th May.

Probably not, as I'm sure they must sign a NDS.

....But, unsubstantiated rumor has it that Bimx might now be included?

I would love it if that rumor were true!

How would that be? For one additional RA net license I can buy three AC!? For single licenses the difference is smaller though.

In the UK you can buy Revit / Autocad LT bundled for £1500+VAT.

Archicad 16 Solo is slightly more expensive at £1700+VAT
https://www.thebimstore.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=11

Dont get me wrong , I think that Archicad 16 solo is the better deal, however, this gives many offices a possible upgrade path from Autocad into BIM , and will make Graphisofts effort more difficult - at least IMHO

Hmm, ArchiCAD is twittering it is a big day today! And here in the Netherlands you get Bimx with Archicad (although I think it's temporally promotion).

It IS a big day:

Archicad 17 just got announced......
is this true? there will be a "sketchup" add-on?
What about BIMx? when will that be included in AC (x)?
I hear that hopefully by AC18....maybe?

Re: A year ago...

Eduardo Rolon — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:28:44 GMT

BimX is included AFAIK.

Re: A year ago...

rob2218 — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:34:32 GMT

No...no....perhaps my writing semantics wasn't clear.
BIMx isn't included...at least not that I know of.

I'm thinking that by AC18...BIMx will be part of GS's out-of-the-box package.....what a great tool...BIMx I mean..now if I could only get it to work in the "black and white" mode....(see other thread in the "Presentation" section)

I could be wrong (and I have been, in the recent past about what's included in AC17) but the last item on this page seems to indicate that BIMx is indeed included as part of ArchiCAD 17 as an out-of-the-box inclusion to the program.

Eduardo Rolon — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:45:15 GMT

If that is the case then this is very unclear, from the brochure:

Re: A year ago...

rob2218 — Thu, 09 May 2013 15:04:20 GMT

So....is that advert correct?
AC17 WILL include BIMx as part of the OOB?
Now...will that be for "NEW" AC17 purchases or upgrades from AC16?
GS...please...chime in.
we just purchased a $700 BIMx key and we have AC16 and I do mean JUST purchased one.....and were not told that AC17 would come with BIMx??....so I'm hoping GS would honor a refund..considering we have about a dozen licenses....of Archicad.

WAITING RESPONSE FROM GS.....

I think it would be more appropriate to contact your local reseller about this.
