One of the things that has always puzzled me in this day and age is the total communication silence I have seen with company heads when a software release bombs.and are a fixed presence in their respective forums offering support, tutorials and in the case of Brad Peebler (CEO of Luxology - makers of modo) with news on modo development.
It doesn't get much better than that.

We even had a contractor up here talking about how they are using BIM to help with the construction process and are relieved when the architect and engineers are using BIM! I just don't see software of the like of Revit or ArchiCAD disappearing anytime soon...
.....well, technically the Federal government doesn't really demand BIM deliverables - maybe State Governments do...

ArchiCAD 14 comes out 9 months after AC13And, it's not ArchiCAD14 that came earlier but rather ArchiCAD 13 that came late.

If we add the 13 delay to the 9 months we may find 12 months (the normal cycle )
However, Respect to GS for respecting the "normal" 12 months cycle for ArchiCAD14.

HI Mattheu !
Well that means one team is doing the job in time whereas the other is not( ... I know AC 13 needed some time to have the 64bits* feature & TW2 ready so the delay was 'justifiable'...)
*except for MAC

I remember when CW was introduced in AC12 there was a talk about how this new way of handling elements ( sub structure and classes ) could be something really huge ..and here we go ...2 versions already ... and even CW itself is far from being a fully developed tool !..not to mention implementing that logic in other tools !TMA_80 wrote:Actually AC13 was in development far longer and represents a

*except for MAChugechange in the underlying data structure, so it's not too surprising that it ran a little overtime. If I'm not mistaken TW2 is only the first major benefit that we'll see coming from the new core.
