It would be great to get some feedback from the betatesters about the new features of Archicad 15.

Are you guys out of your NDA yet?

HA!

Just wait and see if it actually works in Teamwork

I have never had an autosave recovery successfully maintain its link to the BIM Server in AC14 - they always comes up 'Detached', and often with more out-of-date elements you've been working on than the Reloaded project gives you ....

I was wondering about that as well?
How will the new version fare up with the BIM Server, TW issues?
Has this been tested thoroughly?
GS - please advise.

Apparently still no import of Sketchup 3D warehouse objects into MAC OSX version. Or their not saying. The lack of up to date real object (such as name brand appliances, etc.) is a real drag.

Man....No 3dwarehouse SKP file import....geez, that's a bummer. We use MAC's in the office. I use a PC (laptop) at home. I have to now use my PC, import the file, convert it to a GSM file in my pc, then save it...then send it to my MAC in the office and open it there....bumski.

Did you finally allowed the creation of angled curtain walls with Polyline-Chained method in ArchiCAD 15? Because until now, angled curtain walls were allowed only with Polyline-Single method.

If you did not, then this is a huge omission !

One small detail that has been underrated, and has a huge impact in the way I model (using SEOs intensively), are the connection grips. These small gizmos appear every time you select an elements that operates or is operated by a SEO (or a roof cut), and lists the element that are related to it.

You can even isolate those elements in the editing window, and manage the relationships directly through the produced list.

One small addition:
The connection grip lists all associative connections the element is involved in, including Trim to Roof/Shell and Join Wall to Curtain Wall operations. All these can be managed from the connection grip.

AFAIK that is fixed in 15. Turning of the TW remotely, turning Off the TW Host, having one TW project connected to one BS and another TW to a different BS on the same computer at the same time and copy/pasting between the projects and no crashes, or becoming detached.

One problem with Autosave in TW during the Beta is that it is instantaneous so if you do something that crashes AC going back to the autosave will probably be no help. In those cases I have just deleted the Autosave and kept working without loss of data.
