There are plenty of new features there. I guess you do not wait for me to tell you that. AC 10 is a good upgrade but unfortunatelly not a great one.
Why do i whine you would say? Am i stupid? Perhaps. But...
1) If you remember well i was shouting that with the introduction of the constuctor-estimator suite, we will see NO development in the calculation tools for Archicad. Unfortunately i am VERY VERY correct here. Not a single new feature for the calculation model.
. And that is the second version in a row without a single improvement.
2) The material editor. This is the worst part of Archicad. I think a 20$ program could have better material management. The problem is not just to create great buildings. Rendering is a part of our proccess. And material assignment is very important too the workflow. Unfortunatelly, assigning materials, it through a big list (so if you have a big material list, you are simply lost) and material change is simply non existant. You cannot even change material X to material Y globally. This is not a feature that can wait. This is really very very sad.
3)You did a very good job with walls. Excellent. Why not do a great one?
Why cannt we have not only verical profiles, but also horizontal flow. Why do we have to make roofs and intersect.
4)SEO. What a dissapointment. Everyone that has worked with archicad seo knows the nighmare. Just imagine having 40-50 seo operations. And then try to do bookeeping. You will surely mix everything. not to mention the many bugs there beacause i assume they have been fixed.
Yes i know you might not want to hear whinning, but someone has to tell the bad side of things
I think it could be too easy to have a great update. Very few important things SHOULD have been added.
And i dont put here personal wishes (there are many but are strictly personal) . What i said above are very bad glitsch of Archicad.

Geez, the least Graphisoft could do is give us some working examples and better documentation for the existing features. If they're not going to enhance calculation functionality, at least they could show how to use what's available...
Other than the fact that they have done absolutley nothing to improve calculation, ArchiCAD 10 looks pretty good!
From what I have seen this far, Archicad 10 is more about fluff than substance. I mean there are some nice additions but not much more than we couldn't al ready achieve with an add-on by a third party.
What I am curious about is what are the other intimate upgrades and changes Graphisoft has made to improve the productivity / userability? In 8 and 9 there were a number of undocumented changes that surprised me (and some that are still surprising me today). If there is a list of all the changes it would help to get right into the enhancements instead of 8 months later discovering that there is an easier way to do the same thing. When I upgrade I am paying for improvements, not surprises......
i.e. Are there keynotes introduced like we asked? Are any items on our wish list incorporated into this version or do we have to wait for a third party to develop them first so the programmers can lazily adopt the tool and sell it as one of their innovations?

Ben, i have read those pages. I dont see any new calculating tool. Or an enchanment of the current. Perhaps i miss smthg.
I really feel bad to whine, because i DO believe that AC10 has MANY GREAT new features. But if you see a beautiful woman, and chop her arm and remove her hair, you loose the magic.
(seo and material management are so so important, and the second one is so so easy to implement, that it is very frustrating to see the same material list for another 18 months.. )
