Dear Talkers,

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

Sorry guys, but I just don't understand some of you. You are all talking about more or less one feature (however important) in AC10. Curved profile walls. I can understand that some of you need this feature very bad, but I don't understand the thinking of "why did Graphisoft released not complete feature. It should be better that it would wait for AC11". I was a beta tester and now I have shown new features to many architects here and they all love profiled walls. We all agree that there is more to see in AC 11, but we can do something that we couldn't do in Ac7, 8 or 9. It will cover 95% of our needs, opposed to 0% if profiled walls would be left out. And let me assure you, that Graphisoft didn't left out this functionality simply because they want to have something for Ac11. This thinking is at least silly, if I don't use harder word.

And for all of you, that are complaining about Graphisoft not listen, and not sufficient with new features, you can jump to http://forums.augi.com/archive/index.php/t-38414.html and see that the "other side" is complaining also. I'm not arguing "which is bigger" only to point out the fact, that there is no complete SW in any industry and there will always be wishlists and whining. When we will have curved profiled wall, we will want something else. In my opinion there are many things that we can do with AC 10 that we couldn't do before, and that is what upgrades are: doing things better and faster that before.

Its now obvious to me why i was not a beta tester.
Its because i am not green!

Its obvious that you dont understand the point. If adding the profil to curved walls was a BIG issue, then perhaps i could think about it. But the gdl needed is there, so there is not a big issue. We are not talking about extreme surfaces that gdl can desribe.


Unless there is an important reason for holding that back, that its a pure marketing decision.

No.
Just over-simplifying, misrepresenting and essentially denigrating.
There's a "how" to every "what" you say, you know.

I had already previously opined that, in my own humble opinion they were better off leaving it (the Profiler tool improvements) out of AC10 altogether and having a completely functioning improvement in version 11. Just as I hope they are doing with SEO, or some of their other much requested improvements and wishlist items.

So if its not perfect don't bother at all?

I think I prefer a 90% complete feature rather than no feature at all. At least I then have the choice about using it for the 90% of the time it will work.

I don't think Graphisoft are in the business of leaving stuff out on purpose to leave you some reason to upgrade next time. It's probably more a case of needing to ship an upgrade after nearly 2 years.

A beer sound like a good idea though.

Moving along - Based on seen screenshots am i correct that walls can now be shown on multiple stories?

But the one sniffing during two years on an update with which he is not satisfied just wasted his precious time.

Exactly my point ...

Sniffing gets nobody nowhere.

yes, and that seems a pretty cool function which will solve many plan-presentation issues.
