This is our chance...to bring Autodesk to their knees...

[ares997]

We have a very short window in time and space, and now we have more than enough ammunition to take down goliath. If you think about it...David brought down the giant with technology. It wasn't because he was necessarily smaller than the giant, but more inventive, better long reaching technology, an eye for understanding the means and methods for getting the job done in his current market. That is what Graphisoft has gave us yesterday, though it might not be in our hot little hands. We the Archicad Marines need to start making some frakin' noise out their.

This is the point at which we can sit in our cubicles and say, umm I'm not really sure if it is what I think it is...when it is more than you could have ever dream of.

Ironically enough Autodesk yesterday started to buckle, as well as said that they would be offering inventor as a free download, "no kidding."

Come on guys there should be at least a blog each from all you loyalist who have been here since the beginning. This is our house now go out and take the gorilla by the balls to take him out.

Even with AC12 and AC11 we were still way ahead of the curve and have always been, now let's start sending info to WIRED.COM, ENGADET.COM , USA TODAY, CNN, ETC. Graphisoft has put a lot into this release. Testing it throughly, making sure it works with Snow Leopard (which is why they delayed the release until yesterday, considering Snow Leopard was on Friday so that gives GS 30+ days to get it ready for the MAC kids out there.)

The Graphisoft Team has not only change the rules about what can be done in a yearly release cycle, they have change what will the future be for us.

Graphisoft's "biggest not-so-secret weapon is its staff of developers [who] focus enormous talent on a niche, which Westerners can't match."
Jonathan B. Levine, Business Week, USA

"It's passion, and a good deal of business sense, that helped turn Graphisoft into a global player."
The Wall Street Journal

We are a team based all over the world and need to act like one more now then ever.

This has happened a few times before
1. The cpu and drafting in a machine
2. Going 3d
3. Going Parametric + GDL
4. Going BIM
5. Going in with the DELTA SERVER

If you can imagine what this could mean even outside this industry it is far reaching.

Get out there and make some noise.

Please don't hesitate. We need to start scaring the investors of AUTODESK today and now we have our $5k keys ringing in their ears.

We have ECO designer, we have VBE, we have MEP, our company, our team has brought us the weapons within this year that dominates all other products out there.

Pull your fingers out of your ears and start emailing, witting blogs, witting your congressmen, telling your friends, telling your enemies that we are coming for them one seat at a time.

Is hating Revit right now. Should probably give Archicad a go instead... via @kernelpanik

Ares997, what you are doing is unacceptable.
This is called spamming.
Posting every tweet you collect from the Internet is spamming, not useful contribution to the Forum.
Posting German and Japanese and other language stuff is not OK either because the language of this Forum is English.
Posting all kinds of Jobs is again looks more like spamming than anything else.
So, regardless of how enthusiastic you are about ArchiCAD (which is great), I am asking you to post only useful stuff here. Do not double post in various threads. Also, do not repeat the same argument over and over.
I am receiving complaints from other Users and I agree with them, this is not OK.

Hmm...that's a scary thought.

[ares997]

Is it okay to quote from Internet? In attempt to help share what is going on in other mediums was my point whilst including the original authors creditds.

And the jobs are 50% asking for archicad and the others are describing archicad though asking for autodesk and seems like a valid method to show Micheal Gravis our communities work and with tw2 anyone might work there from anywhere like Karl was posting in his Add.

No, it is not. As moderator, I advised you earlier of what the purpose of these forums is. Any other use is not acceptable. Now, the uber-moderator and site administrator has also advised you.

It is not a huge intellectual challenge to read the forums and see the kinds of discussions that happen here and to follow suit. If these forums do not appeal to your needs, you should consider starting a new web site / forums / facebook page or whatever to achieve your personal goals and attract those who share them.

Cheers,
Karl

The title of this forum and thread are a bit deceiving. Archicad-Talk seems like an open place to communicate about archicad and it's competitors from any angle, so what rule have I broken. I haven't found a rules or procedures section and etiquette I seem in bounds, though I am not a sheepish leeming you can use bullish tactics in an effort to censor my efforts. You guys link and quote as they relate to the thread. Yeah the graphisoft Osaka one was a little out there. Though I now there are people here who can read more than English and English wasn't their first language so I felt also that it wasn't that far fetched.

Look its great that you are excited about ArchiCAD but posting up a bunch of links without any discussion of the content of those links is regarded as link spamming in just about all internet forums and in many other places the ban stick would have been applied almost on the spot. Aside from that it is just poor etiquette ... something that is rapidly declining on the internet these days anyway.

Its fine (IMO) to post links to other sites if that forms part of a discussion and contributes something to it - such as Thomas Holms links to ZDNet and Ars Technica reviews of OS X in the Upgrading to ArchiCAD V13 thread.

however posts like this:

Take ArchiCAD this fall! It's a dual-platform design application: http://bit.ly/OV1qK via @uclaxarcid

are not really contributing anything to this discussion. It is an Ad for an entry-level ArchiCAD Training Course - something that is probably of no use to anyone reading this thread. If you want to post this it should go in the Ad's section - i think the various forums purposes are all fairly clearly described.

Does anyone know the history of Graphisoft in the 80's or where I could find it?

[ares997]

So if graphisoft invented gdl do other programs use that technology? What is revits parametric technology built on?

[Eduardo Rolon]

AFAIK nobody except GS uses GDL, Revit has its own system based on editing pre-existing objects to create New Families.

This is an unfair oversimplification of Revit's workflow.
