Time to upgrade to 13?

Brad Elliott — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:33:44 GMT

It seems like 13 arrived with a whisper. There was and still is some discussion of TW2 but otherwise it came out and disappeared. So, like I presume many people now on the subscription I got my copy of 13 and put it on the shelf. And waited. So now my big project is wrapping up and the first hot fix has come out. Is it time to upgrade? Is it worth the effort to upgrade if I'm not likely to use TW2 in the near to medium future or should I just wait until 14?

Update away. There are many other improvements which you will use every day. Take a look at the section on what is new in 13.

TW2 is great. It's not just about the BIMserver, but how you work in TW2 is sooo much faster. Set it up and get to know it.
What's that boy scout motto 'Be Prepared'

Seriously, go ahead and update.

Being able to change materials on selected edges of a slab is a big bonus in 13. Also, very stable.

upgrade
but u must know that all problems that u have with modeling in archicad, u still have them... you will not be able to do anything more just some cosmetic stuff.if u dont dont use TW2 than its (almost) same as archicad 12.

Respect for GS - archicad is 64 bit program
and for TW2 (i dont use this and didnt have chance to test it)

now we live in copy - paste time ! so archicad 12 = archicad 13 with ...[[deleted by Moderator]]... (thats difference bitween ac12 and ac 13)

Necko,
Your last sentence females may find offensive. So I deleted it.
