Maxonform for ArchiCAD 10 Intel?

Anonymous

It has now been a couple of months since I last wrote on this site. I have been looking continuously at this and maxon's forums to see if there has been any news. There has been a slight movement from graphisoft, now listing maxonform for intel macs to be available soon???? What ever that means. Can or is any one allowed to tell anything at all about the continuation or not of maxonform. For me it is quite frustrating since one of the reasons I upgraded to Mac INTEL and to ArchiCAD 10 was for the seamless integration of a free form modeler that archicad has always lacked. So do I go out and spend yet again on a stand alone modeler which outputs 3ds files or do I wait for a little longer and send out to third party modelers as i do now. Please inform an anxious and quite exasperated user community who took the plunge and went Mac INTEL.

Felix,

I'm still optimistic and my one or two weeks is still true.

The problem is, that Archicad 10 is already on the market and we don't compile new versions every day, rather in every week or two.
If there is an unforeseen bug in the code, then the next compilation comes only a week or two later (and all bugs are unforeseen ).

I'm sorry for this delay. I can promise that this will come, I already have a non-official-compilation version of it, but to release something it must pass a certain route of installer creation, quality check and quality check again.

Please don't hesitate to post again in two or three weeks, at least I know someone is interested in the product.

Now its not two or three weeks more like a month and a half and THERE IS STILL NOTHING!!!! I do understand that there is some confusion with the company being bought and all but the buyer is the owner of maxon and therefore C4D which is the base of Maxonform and is compiled for Intel MACs and so is AC10 so where and when is the mix of these excellent products going to be released for the MAC Intel platform??? Yes I do know that Apple was ahead of their road map but even if GS was alining with Apple's original road map then the universal binary of maxonform should be out by now. So where is the beef??? I'm holding up the whole migration of an office, albight a rather small one but still, because of un-realized promises form your part. It is better to tell the truth than to tell us 2-3 weeks all the time. This is true I would have considered switching from mac to pc and AC10 to Revit if I had known that it would be at least another year for maxonform to be universal. And now I am even more ready to do just that. So what has stoped me only your now lame promises! and my love for the mac and general distain for most other pc manufacturers

PLEASE give us a REAL estimate of a universal binary version of maxonform IF ANY!!!!

thank you for your understanding
