BIMcomponents???

I had a reminder to check the BIMcomponents website today, when the countdown for the inauguration of the site was supposed to be over...

Now the countdown is over, and the site now reads "coming soon"...

It does not look good for Archicad 16, does it.

Hm... that's strange, I am also getting this error message from the GDL Viewer when going tothe page of any Object.
I will let the guys at GS know about this, although I am pretty sure they are aware of it.

It is now working.
There was a component of the web site that was not working and it could not provide the data for the GDL plugin to display. Works for me under Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer.
It should display fine now.

Is it still in Beta testing or is this just an oversight.

Also I couldn't login with my "MyArchicad.com" login and I couldn't login at "MyArchicad.com" either - I'm sure I did just the other day.
I get an error page if I try to reset my password.

That might have been a temporary outage as it works for me now. Please retry and let me know if you still experience problems. Beta - as far as I know - is very common in terms of Web 2.0 sites like this. I guess this means at BIMcomponents.com that they want to keep developing it further both in terms of features and content…

I think that Bimcomponents is a very great idea, and if it works well is one of the best features that Archicad has implemented in the last years. With Archicad 16 I think that now its the best BIM solution in the market (i worked with allplan for year before archicad, and before with Architectural Desktop...)
