Difference between version 9 and 10?

[Anonymous]

Guys,

What is the difference between archicad version 9 and 10? Anyone any idea?

[Dwight]

A few things that come immediately to mind:

-- How drawing output is managed: Integrated drawing and layout within each project. Worth the upgrade.

-- More modeling tools. So-so unless you make expensive walls.

-- Wacky navigation still makes me mad.

-- Better sunlite for rendering.

-- Application works better as you'd expect.

Advice: Always go for the new one no matter how cheap they make the old one.

Beyond the oblique walls, the new way of defining the plan's cut is an enormous difference. If you work with sloped roofs and habitable attic, it is very interesting but not easy to understand.

A lot. I still complain about some things, but I think AC10 is one of the best upgrades I've seen.

If only those stupid profiled walls curved!!!

You can make curved wall with profile manager, in sequence and with magic tool and so on. It is not absolutely curve, but very closely curve.
It makes sense for rounded brick wall.

You must be doing something right, because whenever i try to make a complex profile with the wall tool, it doesn't work. The profile extrudes its rectangular extent whether drawn or magic wanded to a linear element. We've discussed this before.

The attached image shows my experiment - below is a profile extruded with the wall tool, above, with the beam tool.

Please post your results - i'd like to see how close you get.

The key is the option of magic tool. It must have sequence of curve.
To combine with normal wall the layer must have several no., otherwis the walls show not correct figure.
The figured wall with profile-manager needs very strong hardware for the complex wall.

Swell. I am succeeding thanks to you.

My solution was to use "Linear Segments" in the magic wand.

Surprizingly, it does turn out fairly smooth.

You are right.
There are no limits to use with this profile-manager.
I think, also with AC11 it would be not possible to make absolute curve with profile-manager.
Here is one more example.
