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.

Thanks Djordje for the advice, I got ArchiStair and it is greater with every new stair and page of documentation, my ArchiTerra is on its way. Any other ones in your trick bag would be cheers.
Thanks,
Joseph
Joking, it has a couple of them you learn to avoid...
It has many shortcomings (like complex roads), but it is superior in handling 3d databases, and doping some quick modeling.
This image is part of a planning project, and the model was build in about a day (I was very green at the time, now I would do it in half the time.
All the terrain and walls was done automatically, and the houses where implemented manually, but with correct height.
And, like AC itself, it is fun to use
I like paparazzi web sites
Just for the record to state some wishes
1. The whole terrain should be an object that contains the data and could change.
For example we insert points give heights. It would be nice if selecting the terrain i could get a list of the points like an excel list and have as columns x,y z coords that i could edit , add delete and press an apply button to change the terrain.
2. When we have a terrain we usually dig and embark land to give the terrain the required shape. It would be nice if after selecting the terrain we could have a list o the fills that produced those operations. We could, after selecting it from the list , delete, move, edit geometry, or edit parameters. press apply.. the terrain is ready again.
The difficult part as architerra is now is maintaining a terrain is hard. Creating is easy.
I hope i was clear (its hard to explain in a foreign lagruage.)

Dear oreopoulos,
1. I don't agree: the main difference in respect to other competitors is that the ArchiTerra result is a Mesh. The mesh provide the users with more edit issues in respect to a library part... But what you asked for could be reach: a spreadsheet with the list of the points that can be edited and exported... OK, for ArchiTerra 3.0
2. ArchiTerra 3.0 will work just as you asked for...
friendly

Thx for the reply Fabrizio.
The resulting structure (mesh , object....) was not what i was suggesting.
But you covered me with your reply.
If i can see a spreadsheet with the points and edit (delete add) on a given terrain then editing is great!.
I am sure ArchiTerra 3 will be great
