About model and data exchange with 3rd party solutions: Revit, Solibri, dRofus, Bluebeam, structural analysis solutions, and IFC, BCF and DXF/DWG-based exchange, etc.
I've recently realised that many of Yoda's philosophical espousings on the Force etc, can be easily slotted into the discussions of ArchiCAD v Revit
Make the following substitutions for almost any discussion, and you'll be amazed!
Exchange:
"Jedi" with "ArchiCAD user"
"Dark Side" with "Revit"
"The Force" with "BIM"
Example
"A Jedi's [ArchiCAD user's] strength flows from the Force [BIM]. But beware of the dark [Revit] side. Anger...fear...aggression. The dark [Revit] side of the Force [BIM] are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark [Revit] path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice." Luke then says, "Vader. Is the dark [Revit] side stronger?" to which Yoda replies "No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive." And Luke again asks "But how am I to know the good side from the bad?" and Yoda replies "You will know. When you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi [ArchiCAD user] uses the Force [BIM] for knowledge and defense, never for attack."
