An interesting retrospective (symbolically referencing power house engineering)..but from my perspective sadly, you have done very little for real engineers. my2c
You have to know something: ARCHICAD has always been an application created by architects for architects.
Ha...Yes I do know that [let go of the past as BIM has moved onto ironically..Physics], as engineers we work within constraints and limltations that architects bind us to, but we shouldnt have to be making excuses for your software, in that you have FORGOTTEN EVERY ONE ELSE.
This is an area that Nem has to address..urgently
With all due respect, you probably shouldn't be using Architectural design software for engineering purposes (however much you might enjoy it), if it bothers you that it caters so much more to the intended end-users and how they think and work.
I mean, I wouldn't want to be using engineering software to design buildings and to work in Architecture neither and would expect to find a lot of quirks and oddities I wouldn't like working with, as an architect.
That's probably the (biggest) reason why I use ArchiCAD and not Revit*.
(*originally deeveloped as an engineering design software before being re-purposed for Architecture,.......and STILL works a lot like one, in many respects).
