Advanced ArchiCAD Techniques: Enhancing Productivity : $345I've always taken exception to Archicad training divisions like "beginner" "intermediate" and "advanced." It's just not that kind of program. You pretty much have all the tools staring you in the face, you just have to know enough not to use your nice new nail gun as a hammer.

Similar comment here. My office is kind of getting sick of Architectural Desktop 2005 (and since I'm the only CAD guy, that means I'm getting sick of it) and my boss has heard nothing but positive stuff about ArchiCad. He was sitting next to an architect from California on a plane a few weeks back, and this architect had just switched over from ADT to AC, and spent four hours raving to my boss. My boss then spent four hours raving to me, and I spent four hours on the AC website learning everything I could, and... if it's all true, it's a complete dream come true for me.
I ordered a free demo CD, and I was just wondering if anyone here has any particular advice that might not be covered in the documentation for someone who has spent a lifetime working with AutoCAD, all the way from version 12 up through ADT 2005, as well as VizRender and 3dsMAX.
Thanks!
