Autodesk is a copycat

I agree. I think this article deserves a place at the top of the Teamwork/BIM Server Forum so I put it there as well.

It deserves the position on the top of the Graphisoft home page, and publication on all the CAD/BIM forums and review sites, as well as direct emailing campaign to anyone who has anything to do with BIM in the world.

Autodesk has now maybe what Graphisoft had 15 years ago with TW1. The reliance on the M$ infrastructure and the heavy hardware and networking investment that is REQUIRED for the stuff to work AT ALL has to be emphasized. What is the worst outcome is that the average ignorant public will think that you HAVE TO do it that way, as in their world there is no other way but the Autodesk way. Now, THAT is scary!

It is still to be plastered all over ... ArchiCAD Talk is not a place anyone will come to while sipping the morning coffee. AEC Bytes, or UpFront may be?

GS Marketing yet again is unacceptably poor. They have a great product, TW2 puts them light years ahead of the competition, but they don't sell it.

When I first started users who found Archicad years ago were people who went looking for the best product. Now, GS is up against people who go with what people tell them without questioning.
Autodesk's slogan is 'What does BIM mean to you? Revit'.

When is GS going to start aggressively marketing their product?

I know GS is working on this. The reason this white paper was done in the first place is to promote our advantages better.
We are the lucky ones to learn about it firsthand before it is spread worldwide.

Let's hope that it will spread and that we will not again be the only ones to learn about it ...

Instead we get this.
