Dear Talkers,

You can read Graphisoft's announcement on Archicad 10 here:

Initial reaction; It was worth the wait. Very exciting.

is it universal binary for the MACtels?

I must say that despite of the excellent new features, Graphisoft needs to improve the marketing side of the announcement. Why not hire some good professionals? ArchiCAD deserves it.

Very poor website about a very good software

Overall ArchiCAD 10 looks to be very good! I look forward to using the many new features.

I'm optimistically hoping to be able to better use some of the old features namely, quantity calculations, but see no announcement of any new enhancements in this area. As usual Graphisoft alludes to this calculation functionality in the marketing hype...see Akos Pfemeter's partial quote from the press release:

"Our aim was to enable an unprecedented level of design freedom while staying within the Virtual Building framework of generating 3D geometry, quantity calculations and drawings. ..."

Can anyone at Graphisoft, or anyone in the know, provide us with more information on any new enhancements or improvements to the calculation functionality of this release?

Thanks,
Dan K

I have to agree with you. I almost didn't see it on the website.

Take a look at the "archicad in action" section. It has a series of movies that highlight the new features...

Interactive schedule has been integrated in the workflow also, meaning that schedules are now special "model views" integrated in the navigator. You can place them as drawings on layouts (they are not GDL objects anymore). They stay of course interactive when placed on layout. The pet palette also works with them for easy resizing and restructuring. The settings interface is redesigned also.

In the brochure it touts 'xp style control' with nary a mention of improved Mac OSX interface improvements. They did not mention that it will be a Universal App. It sounds more and more like like they care less about Mac Users. Archicad 9 had serious palette snapping and organization problems.
