!Restored: ArchiCAD 11 Library Updated

[Aaron Bourgoin]

If you haven't checked already, GS have released an updated library - for the US version anyway. It's dated July 4

Screenshot of Properties (file attributes) for the downloaded LCF file. It appears that the "Modified date" attribute is not being retrieved by the update technology? [The difference between the June 15 displayed here and the June 16 displayed by the GS web site is, AFAIK, simply the date/time conversion based on the differences between my time zone and Hungary's.]

Cheers,
Karl

Karl, you must be tweaking your library and you probably have 2 LCF files in your ArchiCAD 11 Library folder.
greg,
i am a bit confused.
please see the installation guide for goodies related to accessories library. where should the access lib go now? i like karl's suggestion. is that now the way to do it?
thanks!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dominic of Graphisoft. He wants our company to really be productive with this Archicad 11 software. Dominic offered to help in anyway he could.

We are a 250+ architectural firm in North America.

What would be the best route to take with regards to these questions?

I see that we have a Graphisoft specialist right from the HQ offices helping us. that's great! thanks guys at Graphisoft for listening and chiming in on these questions. really helps us out a lot.

Must be nice. A lot of us offer opinions to GS (that they asked us for) and get ignored.

What, are you Halliburton or something? How about a real sig with your name, city, firm, ArchiCAD version, hardware, etc.

I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm just interested in who you are and which firms merit the royal treatment from Graphisoft. You'll notice that almost everyone on ArchiCAD Talk shares their real identity. It's part of what makes this forum valuable and honest.

Sorry, my bad. I'm an old fart here and just recently discovered this whole "online" help forum thingy....

My name is Rob....let's leave it at that.
the company I work for is called Bermello, Ajamil and Partners.

www.bermelloajamil.com

we are a multi-dicipline architectural firm head quartered in Miami, FLorida. We have offices in the following locations:
1. Miami FL (HQ office)
2. New York
3. Orlando FL
4. Ft. Lauderdale FL
5. Long Beach, CA (virtual office for now but soon to be a real office if I have my way about it - I came from San Diego and want to move back).
6. and recently a 12 man office in Dubai.

the office in the process of growing to a 500+ size firm in the next 5 years...at least that's how big our principals and board of directors wants us to be...let's hope so.

We are working on numerous projects all throughout the world, including "The World-Dubai". We helped to create the master plan for "Nakeel (sp) on "The World" project in Dubai. Our offices will be featured in an upcoming National Georgraphic documentary called "Reshaping the World-The World Dubai" on July 23 and on another documentary on August 12 I believe. Check yer local listings.

So, I worked with this outfit 10 years ago (mid-90's or so), then went to DC to work on my own, then moved to San Diego to work on my own as well, and am back locally in Miami working for B+A.

My position there is, well, jack of all trades, PM on Port work projects as well as other hats I wear.

We are always looking for good Archicad help and good recruits with Archicad talent. we are on Archicad 11.

Dominic Galleleo (sp) came to our office about 2 months ago, sat with myself and a few of the partners and discussed the future of Archicad and how B+A can help to implement Archicad in all our offices.

Our partners are starting to see enormous benifits in Archicad and well, quite frankly they just can't deny the facts that the software is incredible.

My background is in architecture. I have a Masters of Architecture from University of Florida, Gainesville (circa mid 80's). I've had my own consulting practice as well via the net (aint the net a great...when it works). I started using Autocad when it was version 2.5 (yes, there was a version 2.5). Then while working in various firms (20 or so to be more precise throught the U.S. during my professional career) I came across ADT1.0 while working with HOK in DC (I wouldn't work for them if they promised me the world...which I've already been doing with B+A)......

But back to the story, so while working with HOK DC, I noticed what an incredible op that HOK had on the ADT flavor of software...they didn't seem to think so.

Archicad is what "ALL" architects should have started with when CAD came around....it truly is an incredible software and we are making a paradigm shift in our B+A office globally to this new BIM technology......why.....because it works! period. it's great software, great for production, presentations, wooing the clients...etc....just a great software to use, and fun too if you are so 3d inclined as heavily as I am.....

Wheewwww....I hope that answers all your questions....

Please, if any of you are in any where near our office locations, we are always looking for good, experienced Archicad, cad users. Now, don't misunderstand me here. It took me 10years + to get where I am with this office. We don't just accept anyone off the streets who "claim" to know archicad...we need good, expirience 3d visual thinkers who can think on the run and and on their feet 100% of the time............we need the best of the best. So, feel free to email me at:

rrobert@bermelloajamil.com

if you think you would like to work for one of our offices around the World...........thanks....

by the way, who is Haliburton anyway???

Hey. This is an ad.

[rob2218]

my apologies if this sounded like an ad. it was not intended to be one. Just intended to explain why CEO from Graphisoft visited our offices a few months back.

Yes, we are in need of Archicad designers and architectural interns. if this then classifies this thread post as ad I'm truly sorry. It was not my intent for the response to be taken in this manner............just trying to explain my circumstances here.
