!Restored: Success = getting new customers

[Anonymous]

I saw some documents to compare between Revit and AC.
I study Revit from own website.
It is just copy from AC!!

I used to work with AC (and very satisfied, and like many friends from AC-forum).
As AC-user I hope, AC must be better than Revit for Architects.

I have not used Revit, but just seen from Website.
The web-site from Revit is so nice, that I must believe, Revit should be better than AC.

I like to know your opinions and also opinions from GS.

Thanks

These are the two add-ons that our firm has determined are necessary for AC to function as a "complete package" -- all the others are icing on the cake...

i would say that archiforma and now revision manager are also required

I have to disagree, I've lived long and prosper without using any of the above (though I am looking at Revision Manager a little).

The only purchased add-on I've consistantly used is the Smart Part Doors & Windows, just because I found them simpler and better behaved than the GS ones, but with AC10 I've even changed that stance...

You're also a GDL Guru and full-time BIM Manager, which helps considerably.

I've always wondered: Where in the process is ArchiForma useful? It seems like a neat product but I could never figure out where in the design process or the project lifecycle it really fit in.

I hate buying 30+ copies of add-ons then installing and authorizing them individually.... that helps even more.

At least D&WB is an object kit that's really easy to install.

No kidding -- we're currently at 30 seats, and I hope to keep the add-ons to a minimum. My GDL is getting there, but it'll be a while before I'm up to your speed...

Where in the process is ArchiForma useful?

\
and again..this is just me:

for example i had situation whe i had a curved wall with arched windows and TRIMS,
trims required to have a double curve...(curve wall plus the wdw arch) ...
and with archiforma was relatively / decently easier.....of course with the help of Dan D and Peter D

Once that object is made is it parametic? Or is it just that ArchiForma lets you make something more complicated that the basic Archicad tools could not?
