[Anonymous]

GS please give us a list of ac 10 will be able to do

many users are dissapointed by the progress of the last versions and thinking about switching from archicad to another cad software.

Stefan,

are you saying that VW now uses Floating Point math? If so thanks for clearing up at least one of my misconceptions.

I thought that was one of the new features of VW 8.0 (somewhere around 2000, when I was working at a VW-only Mac-only architectural office).

Try this: draw a line under an angle. Draw parallel and perpendicular lines based on this line. Now rotate everything so the main line is horizontal. Every other line should be orthogonal too. If not, then you are still not using floating point coordinates.

(You may do this experiment in other applications too, just to compare)

So another month slips by and still not a word on a real release date for Archicad 10...

It will be May before you know it. They must have decided to add some things they didn't plan on in order to not look bad next to the competition.

I hope the longer we wait the better it will be. Even so, some word from Graphisoft about ArchiCAD 10 is certainly in order.

Mac-wise, that would be running natively on the Intel's. I'm happy to wait.

Okay, maybe happy isn't the best word...
