The Eleven R's Of Problem Solving

[Anonymous]

I've had so many problems with ArchiCAD that I had to start writing everything down. Eventually I came up with the attached list of steps for solving ArchiCAD problems.

Great stuff, Jay!

Don't you want to post that on ArchiCADWiki ?

Thanks Jay! This will be very handy for cleaning up various temporary files -- the User's can do this themselves (without the need to "bother" me) and I don't have to worry about them deleting the wrong files -- thanks again -- LJY.

Thanks- Very nice- On my wall here as well, Well Fridge.

That could possibly be one of the most annoying things to have to do when you are working in this feild.
