Our next Minnesota ArchiCAD User Group is Tuesday May 25th, 2010 at Wilkus Architects in Eden Prairie (6:30-8:30 pm). If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll get you more details.

We'll start the meeting with some show and tell of a project done by Jody Keppers. I'm also planning on going over a bunch of questions that have been asked after a few recent meetings that we haven't covered yet. As always feel free to bring anything you want to share and any questions you might have. We'll have a projector and at least one machine with AC11-13. If there's anything specific you'd like to learn about, feel free to e-mail me before hand.

Our next Minnesota ArchiCAD User Group is Tuesday July 20th, 2010 at SALA Architects in Minneapolis (6:30-8:30 pm).

David Wilson from Charles R. Stinson Architects is going to do a show and tell about Artlantis (www.artlantis.com). If memory serves me, most if not all of the renderings on www.crsarch.com where done in house with Artlantis. Assuming ArchiCAD 14 will be shipped by the 20th, we’ll also spend some time looking at that as well. As always feel free to bring anything you want to share and any questions you might have. We'll have a projector and at least one machine with AC11-13 (14 if we’re lucky). If there's anything specific you'd like to learn about, feel free to e-mail me before hand.

Our Next Usergroup is coming up. Here's the info:

Date:

Wednesday January 26, 2011 | 6:30PM - 8:30 PM |

Location: (UPDATED!)
SALA Architects, Minneapolis

In January we're NOT having a change of venue. We unfortunately couldn't get a room at the College of Design. This will still be a great opportunity for professionals and students to share insights about ArchiCAD. If there's anything specific you'd like to discuss, feel free to e-mail me beforehand. Or just come and ask.

Among other things, we will be discussing opportunities for leveraging ArchiCAD to help get and retain work. It's a big topic and a little different from what we usually discuss. But there are a lot of ideas floating around the group and it'd be great to share. And after two meetings that lean more towards the academic end of the spectrum (December & January) it will be a nice counterpoint.

And as always bring anything you want to share and any questions you might have. We'll have a projector and at least one machine with AC11-14. If there's anything specific you'd like to learn about, feel free to e-mail me beforehand.

Exact topics TBD. We will have a short presentation on the curtain wall tool. And I'm sure there will be plenty of other tips, tricks, examples of member's recent work, and anything else people want to know about. I know I've been learning some cool new modeling methods that I'll be sharing. If there's anything in particular you'd like to learn about e-mail me.

All about ArchiCAD 15. I started my first project in ArchiCAD 15 the first week in August and I know I'm going to have a lot to share. How about the rest of you? What do you think? Let's get together and share. For anyone not on 15, this will be a great opportunity to learn about all the great advances. Can't wait to learn? Check out this recent blog post about all the little changes in ArchiCAD 15. http://www.shoegnome.com/2011/07/28/all-the-changes-in-archicad-15-that-we-love-but-wont-be-advertis...

Description:
Many of us have been using ArchiCAD 15 for half a year now. I'm sure we'll talk about what we've learned and how we've been liking it. Does anyone have any projects they'd like to share? I know I have a few. And over the past few months I've learned a bunch of new tricks --both productivity and modeling techniques. So I'll share as many of those as I can. As always feel free to bring anything you want to share and any questions you might have. We'll have a projector and at least one machine with AC11-15. If there's anything specific you'd like to learn about, or you want more information, feel free to e-mail me before hand. (jared@shoegnome.com)

What have you been up to since our last Usergroup meeting? I've been busy learning a whole bunch of new things about ArchiCAD.

No RSVP is necessary, but if you want to come early to eat dinner at a nearby restaurant with other enthusiastic ArchiCAD users, let me know.
