......Seems like I have touched a nerve with all ArchiCAD users. I'm Sorry
If you notice I've raised a question when I initiated my post: "My experience with both"
… Without raising any offences or personal attacks (it's for you Bricklyne Clarence).......
This is fascinating.
Unless I'm completely misreading your most recent post, it seems like you construed my response to your previous post as a "personal attack".
I'm going to go ahead an chalk this one up to the language barrier that obviously exists between us and that seems to be preventing you from expressing yourself as explicitly as you would probably like, and also from understanding me with just as much, if not more, clarity.
However, when you state:

Nowhere in that post did I state or imply anything that can even be remotely misconstrued as such. So don't put words in my mouth.
....In ArchiCAD, I was unable to do thisbut I do recognize my lack of knowledge with this program… an eight year old Guru ( like Bricklyne Clarence), after numerous personal attacksregarding this question, he confided to me that ArchiCAD did not do that at all, reason why I did not wasted any more time with this program.....
My response ( and feel free to read it again to confirm this) was something to the effect that the model example you presented could be accomplished in ArchiCAD by a
If, on the other hand, you had actually wanted a step-by-step guide on how to pull that off in ArchiCAD, then you were asking the question in the wrong thread. And there are places in this forum where it would get answered to your complete satisfaction; just not here.
However in the interest of CLARITY; - to build that example in ArchiCAD, I would probably use a cone from the primitive objects library in ArchiCAD, create the appropriate stair using Stairmaker, as well as the windows from the Window library and then create the openings in the cone using boolean functions of Solid Element operations and other ArchiCAD basic modeling objects like roofs and slabs. All of this would be obvious and make sense to anyone who is minimally familiar with the program.
And it's just as easy to do, as is was to explain it.
Was that to your satisfaction?
Finally, when you say that.....

Your questions WERE indeed raised in the spirit of "my software (Revit) is better than your software (ArchiCAD). To prove it, look at what it can do : Your software cant do this without GDL programing, can it?" , and then when provided with evidence to the contrary, you suddenly began to feel "personally attacked".
I take this opportunity to ask if this is easily done in ArchiCAD. This is a doubt I have and I believe I'm in the right place to ask….it's not a question of ArchiCAD being able to do this or not that makes it better or worst, I just need to understand which tools I should use.
It seems, in this forum, who does not defend ArchiCAD is completely condemned by a form of "Inquisition" and invited to leave this share of ideas and opinions ...
Which, to me, is particularly fascinating because this seems to be a recurring pattern with you "former ArchiCAD-using" Reviters, ordained in the 'attack-ArchiCAD-using-the-old-GDL-line' order of priesthood. You claim ArchiCAD can't do something that Revit can; an ArchiCAD user provides you proof to the contrary, and then suddenly it's a "personal attack". Like a said before, tragic....... and sad.
I mean, take a look at your response to Milki's example of the domed structure built in ArchiCAD for example. It was that, that model would take you less time to build in Revit and probably "
I'm sorry you felt offended by my comment regarding the lack of quality of the example you presented; but seeing as you yourself subsequently admitted that it was a poor example, in your follow-up post, I still can't fathom how you could read anything else in my post as being a personal attack.
My only advice would be that, if you're going to attack or "question" another software's capabilities in that software's Users' Talkback forum, then, you should perhaps grow a thicker skin first, because there are probably people who might be more inclined to really launch actual personal attacks at you,( as opposed to the imagined variety) for incorrect statements such as the ones you're freely making here.
But at the very least, thank you for admitting in your follow-up post, and confirming what other posters and myself have been saying to you regarding your statements on AC in this thread. That your misinformed notions and statements about ArchiCAD and its capabilities are actually rooted in your own lack of experience, skill and knowledge of the program, than they are in the program's perceived or apparent inadequacies.
Still looking?
