Hello everyone:

someone had to create this topic

here are some links to see what's new in the conccurent products:

(download the preview guide)

revit 2010:

on thing is sure, they've done a good job...i'm sure GS will too.

In revit, the panneling tool feature seems intresting ...parametric rules

[edit] i've created this topic then deleted it but it seems always available trough google searching , so ..i repost it...
with a little update: have a look at the autodesk press release especially the video presentation ( the second one )....

ruivenda,

Welcome!

do you have a signature? could you use it please?

[Rakela Raul]

Bricklyne don't apologize .. i think you would be surprised at how many of us are sitting here silently thinking exactly the same thing.

good Owen

Why is my signature important? What is important here is the discussion.

But for your reference I'm portuguese, Architect and have used ArchiCAD for 4 years (mostly - from version 6 to 10 and 12 when it came out just for testing proposes). Switch to Revit in version 8 and stayed with it until now and as far as it continue to be the most advanced BIM (or at least the most productive).

I hope Autodesk put revit in MAC OS X so I burn windows and stay still in MAC OS X. Or I hope ArchiCAD grow so much that Revit is no more advantages and I could be so productive in Archicad as I be with revit, because I prefer MAC OS X and I know how to work with both of them (Revit and Archicad).

For me BIM are only 2 (Archicad and Revit), but from the 2 Revit is "BIMiest" than Archicad, although Archicad has been the first and more powerful BIM for many years...

of course the discussion is important - such as this one - but having some basic info in your signature about what system you are on and what applications you may be running/experienced in can help people understand your background a little when responding to posts - particularly if you are having problems vs general discussion.

still, sometimes people can be a little fussy about everyone using a signature with very specific technical content, particularly with new members to the forums. i understand this and i think you should use one, but i can also understand why people don't with ever changing versions, builds, etc. I've stopped putting the build numbers in my sig - i just kept forgetting to update it!

I love riddeling, but the future of Archicad need more then smalltalk.

This is just an advice, and well intended.

You wrote poetically.

There is no dearth of serious here.

This is great. From last week's potty humour to this week's poesy.

I think the freeform argument is being generalized into the idea that we all all might want to make a Gehry building one day. The fact of the matter is we need tools that allow for better detailing of everyday building components. Simple things, like putting a bevel or bullnose on the edge of a slab (without having to use SEO and extruded profiles as a workaround) Or drawing a simple curving curb on a driveway down a sloping site. Sloping and curving retaining walls. Even the CADimage tools fail to deliver on many aspects of the 3d profiler tool. It currently doesn't even work to edit objects in elevation.

Secondly, the ArchiCAD Library is a joke. There is no useful means to bring in non GDL objects into ArchiCAD (3ds import is also a joke). I am often embarrassed to show clients their options for furniture items. They get a Mackintosh chair (yeah, who really wants one in their house anyway) or a clunky square back boxy chair. How long have we gone without a simple dining room table? Now there is a parametric table, but you can't move the chairs. So, we need the ArchICAD tools to allow us to make objects realistically without being GDL programmers. OR allow us into import objects modeled industry standard in other formats Like OBJ FBX or 3DS. I have yet to see an object outside the GDL world import with a clean 2d symbol, smooth surfaces, parametric materials and proper elevation representation.

There was a poor by attempt to remedy this issue with MaxonForm. I paid $700 for this lousy implementation of a freeform modeling solution and it never really worked. And then GS dumped it. This angered me quite a bit. There is currently no Sketchup importer for OSX ArchiCAD either. Also incomprehensible.

At least Autodesk has a really fast calendar . . .
