Looks interesting pity it wasnt intergrated intoAC10 instaed of flogging it seperatly for £$600 or so....

Still nice to see GS arent sitting on their hands

To the „why not a Mac version?” issue:
Change Manager (from its conception) has been targeted to construction companies (it is another question that it may be useful for others, as well…). And we have to face it: this is (not just overwhelmingly but I would say exclusively) a Windows-world...

But for the architectural market we are and will remain multi-platform!

GS is betting all on Constructor.

true . . .

Archicad is not growing, Constructor is.

. . . but the thing is, adalbert, constructor is archiCAD (mainly), just used differently. (no really, take a thorough look: you will be shocked to the core)

(the emphasis is mine)

. . . so tell me: if archiCAD is the main component of the 'constructor' platform; and if the archiCAD in the constructor platform is used in a way that advocates the approximation of design so long as the take-off is correct; and if the main user-group of this constructor are graphisoft themselves . . . where does that leave the future development of archiCAD functionality for the "architectural market"?

exactly. so long and thanks for coming . . . we hope you enjoyed the last twenty years.

what bence said about change manager it is 100% true.

i have this problem every day with our construction department and it is durn difficult to keep up with it...but if anybody would need it the most in our organization is our contractor to coodinate changes orders with their subs.

i dont see our GC's using archicad and this addon unless we do it for them.

Why is it that companies like Maxon and Nemetshek can deliver all products for both platforms but Graphisoft cannot?

Is not THE Finances or could it be other reasons?

Just to know:

If I didn't have to compare various HVAC and other services DWGs for at least a couple of hours daily, I would agree ...
