To All,
I am in the process to purchase some add-ons for archicad for my office.
We do have AC9

Specifically,

Stair, Wall surfacer, graphic 2d help.

Please let me know which ones are the best application for the money.

Thank you

P.S. All comments are welcome.

The Cigraph suite has proven to be the most usable. Deside what you need - IMHO ArchiForma, ArchiStairs (still free AFAIK) and ArchiTerra are a must.

An excellent freeform modeling AddOn is GDL Toolbox, that has its own Web site.

There are more specialized AddOns and/or libraries; browse the Graphisoft Web site, too.

I think Door/Window Builder by Cadimage is a must.

The site has many TOOLS but ArchiData Tools?! could you check on that?

Djordje, had an idea, since GS is beginning to relay more on 3rd party add-ons may be it is not a bad idea to have a forum for ratings of all add-ons. As AC users use these add-ons one can rate their opinion and THOUGHTS on a specific add-on for others looking for a good product.
