ArchiCAD and simplified standard systems of operations

[Anonymous]

I have a small architectural practive and a better understanding of a sliderule than the computer that I use every day (a love/hate relationship!). Is there written system of the overall ArchiCAD program and how and WHY it works.... after 4 years of frustration it often appears like learning a language that has more exceptions than rules...much like French which to this American is a very foreign non-system. With an explanation of the logic perhpas some of the Why's will be answered so that for a new operation one will be able to know where to try or what could be place to find that box to check off and why...etc..

thanks, Paul

How did most of you, the accomplished users of ArchiCad, get trained / indoctrinated?

Philip, I know he is not as close as you would like, but I would recommend Greg Blunier at Integrated Computer Resources (ICR)
He is in Peoria, IL. http://www.klausco.com/ICR.htm Phone: 309-691-4840

Greg has an amazing knowledge of ArchiCAD both techinically and on the usability side and is an excellent trainer. He can also support via Web training. I don't think you'll find anyone better.

Phillip,

I have used Link's services, for both ver 7 and 8.1, and can without reservation reccomend him!

I spent several months on the self-education path, (Vectorworks 1st) with some success but not until I started working with Link did I begin to fully realize the potential of ArchiCAD and make it do what I wanted, and then some.

It is a totally amazing piece of software when used to it's potential. Give him a call. It'll be the smartest thing you've done since you purchased ArchiCAD!

PM me if you have any questions.
